Tea Party favorite Rand Paul won the Republican nomination for Senate in Kentucky last night, and celebrated his victory at a country club.

Today, Paul was asked about the “mixed messages” of running on an anti-Washington fat cat platform, and then delivering his victory speech from a private club. Paul responded that though people used to think of golf as exclusive, “now you see a lot of people playing golf.”

On Good Morning America, Paul said that “at one time people used to think of golf, and golf courses, and golf clubs as being exclusive. But I think in recent years, now you see a lot of people playing golf.”

He added: “I think Tiger Woods has helped to broaden that, in the sense that he’s brought golf to a lot of the cities.”
