[BREITBART] A dozen or so senior GOP senators gathered with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) headquarters to raise funds for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) on Tuesday evening.
Noteably, none of them seemed too proud of it, based on how quickly they scurried away from the building--some outright declining to offer even a simple word of praise for Cochran--when asked why they were there.
The fundraiser--a last dash from the GOP establishment and McConnell, who is "all in" to save Cochran from his conservative primary challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel--occurred just hours before conservative Dave Brat crushed House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a primary for his Virginia House seat, delivering the biggest-ever blow the Tea Party has delivered to a sitting GOP incumbent. |
