“This is their problem. They invited evil in and now evil is taking over, Okay. 2009, the night of Obama's inauguration, ‘we will stop him at every turn.’ They loved the Tea Party anger. They took advantage of it in '10 and '12 and '14. They always said, ‘we can control it. We can harness it.’ Now, all of a sudden, Trump is taking advantage of it. He led the whole birther deal. The Republican establishment at some point has to say, ‘you know what, we played with fire and now it’s about to consume us.’”
