The Republican party and the tea party are one in the same.
That’s according to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who was asked Thursday at his weekly press conference if the string of victories for establishment-preferred candidates in the GOP primaries this week amount to a victory against the tea party.
“We had a lot of good candidates running across the country,” he said. “I thought the election went well. We had good candidates on the ballot.”
“I’m not going to get into this distinction between the tea party and Republicans,” Boehner added. “It’s a distinction you’re going to have a hard time finding.”
