David Plouffe: 2010 Tea Party Candidates Were 'Witches and Defenders of Rape'

Former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe remarked during an appearance on ABC’s ‘This Week’ that Tea Party candidates in 2010 were “witches and defenders of rape.”

Plouffe made his remarks during a panel discussion of how the Republican establishment was successfully fighting back against bad candidates in the 2014 mid-term elections.

Plouffe added that although Republicans in 2014 “don’t pledge allegiance to all the crazy” they were still flawed candidates.

He also remarked that Rick Perry, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio had “run away” from their tough stances on immigration.
