Poor RINO Mitch McConnell he’s mad at the tea party and conservatives. He’s in for a tough primary battle against Matt Bevin, and tough re-election against a weak Democrat if he beats Bevin in the deep red state of Kentucky next year. Now poor turtle McConnell is whining that it’s time for the GOP Establishment aka RINOs to stand up to those bad ole Tea Party/Conservative bullies.

| Mitch McConnell: Time for GOP Establishment (RINOs) to ‘Stand Up to’ Tea Party |

McConnell argued it is “utter nonsense” for groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), which has endorsed his primary challenger businessman Matt Bevin, to argue that Republicans like him in Congress are not fighting hard enough to defeat Democrats. In the interview, McConnell focused on deriding Tea Partiers for leading the effort to defund Obamacare—something that, coupled with the Democrats’ refusal to compromise on the soon-to-fail Obamacare, resulted in a government shutdown.
“The Senate Conservatives Fund is giving conservatism a bad name,” McConnell told the Examiner for the piece titled “The Establishment Fights Back: Mitch McConnell leads GOP battle against Tea Party insurgents.”
“They’re [SCF] participating in ruining the [Republican] brand,” McConnell said. “What they do is mislead their donors into believing the reason that we can’t get as good an outcome as we’d like to get is not because of a Democratic Senate and a Democratic president, but because Republicans are insufficiently committed to the cause—which is utter nonsense.”
