There is no struggle, rift, fight between those who claim the banner of the tea party and those who are in the Republican Party. We work together.

Up until, really, Roosevelt, African-Americans largely voted ninety per cent Republican. That was the political origins, that's what their political voice was in the Republican party. During that history, that last sixty or seventy years of history, the Republican party effectively walked away from the community. They were afraid to really embrace civil rights even though they embraced civil rights legislation. And so it's not enough to just to put it on paper, you gotta actually show up and be in the community, and understand what that struggle was really about.

We don't need to allow any more Nancy Pelosies to wind up in Congress.
