It seems that the anonymous source had an agenda of his own or otherwise misunderstood the Senator’s comments as The Washington Examiner obtained a recording of the entire conversation, provided by American Crossroads PAC. In the 27-minute long recording, McConnell spoke to donors and their advisers and offered a brief question-and-answer segment.
During this call, Senator McConnell addressed the Senate Conservative Fund (SCF), a PAC that has been routinely attacking McConnell as he handles crises in the Senate that maintains a Democrat majority.
The SCF have been relentless in their criticisms and Senator McConnell has appeared frustrated as he has had to weather the assaults from Democrats and those in his own party who seem displeased with the Republican leadership who cannot rapidly advance a conservative agenda in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
According to The Washington Examiner debunks the alleged Tea Party smear, the “schoolyard bullies” comment was not about the Tea Party or conservatives as a whole, but the SCF that have been attacking the Kentucky Senator.
Never heard of this so called fact checking group.
The roar you hear in the distance will be the sound of banks crashing, followed by the silence of business-as-usual grinding to a halt. After that, the crackle of gunfire.
