I read that none of the major Tea Party organizations gave support or endorsed Brat. If true, maybe the Tea Party groups need to do some self examination.

the major Tea Party organizations

Many of those have been co-opted by the moderate/centrist [liberal] self-interest people.

Ironically, in the last couple of weeks, many on the GOP side have claimed to be 'conservative'. Karl Rove recently said on FoxNews that the GOP has to run on 'conservative' ideals. Cantor ran as a conservative. Graham claimed the 'conservative' mantle.

They run as 'conservatives' and govern as tone-deaf 'moderates/centrists'.
