Some republican candidates, who were a bit out of tune with the tea party populist agenda, probably did frown on them, but the Republican party has owned that movement, if not from day one, then from day two. Look around, where do you see anti-tea party flak guns now? If any Republican today is against the co-opted tea party, it is only because the tea party is also being used in power struggles internal to the republicans.
