And those Tea Party dogs had fleas and they spread them to the Republican Party. And then what did the Tea Party do? They opened the door. And what? Walked in? A red headed, big, overgrown Trump tick... is out to do nothing but to suck the blood of every single person that he runs across. You know what you call a tick in Spanish? It's called a garrapata. You know what a garrapata is? It means it gets you with its hands. (03:56–04:12)
