It was John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. There wasn't somebody on the scene. But what evolved out of that was the grassroots Tea Party movement. And then the Republican leadership followed in, lifted that up, and started to move forward. So I'm not so certain.

If I were Republicans, I would be really, really worried about these town halls because in my opinion, That was the real start that led into the 2016 election. That Tea Party movement did not lose its – it just morphed into mega in my opinion. And look, it wasn't totally organic. I know that.

I thought there would be massive, more of massive immigration raids on inauguration day. Mm-hmm. I thought they'd be in the schools, things like that. So in that regard, my imagination was pretty good about what they could do because I heard it out there. We need to deliver the policies.

It's because the policies we were able to put in place resonate with people. And I, for whatever reason, we've lost that with people.
