And it was because I'd watched Jesse Benton behind the scenes. Not go after Romney. And that's now been admitted by Doug Weed, top of the campaign, that that was Jesse Benton's decision.

Jesse Benton can hardly talk, folks. I'm not trying to be mean. It's just that he's not that smart.

I said two weeks ago, you watch, he's going to go work for the mainline Republican Party. Because I knew that from inside. Okay? And now it's all over the news today that he's going to work for Mitch McConnell.

But then, you know, kind of, there was a problem when he got convicted of, quote, arranging for money to be funneled through a vendor to an influential Iowa state senator who dropped his support for another Republican candidate in favor of Ron Paul. There was a whole thing where Michelle Bachman had support from this state senator in Iowa, and there was some monies that might have gone to him, and... It looked like he got paid to support Ron Paul.

Then, in October 2016, Jesse Benton was caught in a sting operation, agreeing to launder $2 million in donations from a fake Chinese national donor through his consulting company, ultimately with the money going to support Trump.

He's the best at going on my show and other libertarian and constitutional shows and getting our money and our support. And now he's taking that list over to the Republican Party and Mitch McConnell. That's what went on.
