Fox’s Wallace Battles GOPers: How Will You Deal with Tea Party ‘Split’? (Mediaite)

Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace took on two GOP lawmakers Sunday morning, trying to get them to comment on a “split” within the GOP that contributed to the surprising loss of outgoing House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) last Sunday.

Wallace interrogated tea partier Tom Price (R-GA) on whether the tea party faction of the GOP would revolt if a tea partier wasn’t chosen for one of the two open leadership positions,* and National Republican Congressional Committee chair Greg Walden (R-OR) on how other Republican incumbents plan on keeping back primary challenges.
