Exclusive -- McConnell: Tea Party 'Bullies' Who Need Punch in Nose
by Matthew Boyle
On the call, according to a donor who was on it, McConnell personally named Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as Tea Party conservatives he views as problematic for him. The bulk of it was an attack on the Tea Party in general, Cruz in particular, the source, a prominent donor, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.
But the most memorable line came at the end of the call.
McConnell said the Tea Party was nothing but a bunch of bullies, the source said. And he said you know how you deal with schoolyard bullies? You punch them in the nose and thats what were going to do.
Rove, as well as American Crossroads President and CEO Steven J. Law who also serves as the president of sister group Crossroads GPS, were also on the call. Rove talked in a slightly gentler way, or lets say, a more diplomatic way, the source said. But the message was pretty well the same: That if were going to save this thing, we have to back real Republicans.

I have a feeling this could get interesting considering they did a lot of backroom dirt as friends before they were enemies.
