Daniel Strauss reports on the latest GOP quote of the day on Talking Points Memo.
Mitch McConnell’s chief of staff — currently assigned as a senior staffer at the National Republican Senatorial Committee through the 2014 election — compared the Senate Conservatives Fund to a drunk making a ruckus at a bar.
“S.C.F. has been wandering around the country destroying the Republican Party like a drunk who tears up every bar they walk into,” Josh Holmes said according to The New York Times. “The difference this cycle is that they strolled into Mitch McConnell’s bar and he doesn’t throw you out, he locks the door.”
Senate Conservatives Fund’s primary focus is hitting Republican incumbents who, the group argues, aren’t sufficiently conservative. In particular, the group has been highly critical of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). The group argues that McConnell is not really opposed to Obamacare.
