Chaos erupts at Cantor’s election night headquarters after his departure
Washington Post ^ | 6-10-2014 | Laura Vozzella

As if the political drama were not powerful enough, chaos erupted at the election night headquarters shortly after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor conceded his stunning defeat to tea party backed conservative David Brat.

Cantor addressed his supporters for about four minutes at a suburban Richmond hotel ballroom, then boarded SUV without taking questions from supporters scurrying after him.

Then it got really rambunctious. In the room of downcast Cantor supporters, a new energy suddenly erupted — but not the kind they wanted election night. A group of immigration activists stormed the ballroom, screaming and waving a flag. “What do we want? Immigration reform! When do we want it? Now!”

What do we want? Secure borders and enforcement of existing immigration laws! When did we want it? 30 years ago!

Get bent, "progressive" vermin.

All in the name of his ethnicity

A good post, but you're mistaken in one respect. Rubio is of white, European extraction, a pure-blood Spaniard white man.

Setup. Cantor gone. Amnesty legislation is dead in the water. I expect Obama to sign an amnesty EO within a week. It’s for the chil’run...

Did he voice his support for Brat ....

It's being reported that he didn't mention Brat at all in his concession speech

No, not really. At least not that I heard.

He spent most of the time recapping what he had tried to do while in office.

WHAT? You mean Cantor didn't tell his supporters to move on, go out and help UNITE the PARTY by helping Brat?!? Gee whiz. I just can't believe that. I mean, heck, that's what all good Republicans are SUPPOSED to do, right? UNITE behind the winner?!?! Right?

(hope I'm not laying it on too thick, cuz I'm just getting started here...)

It’s time for us to demand that the political crooks in elected office obey the law and deport illegals.

No more of this slow motion amnesty pushed by fools like the Bush brothers, Rubio, Ryan and the rest of the Treason Lobby.

I guess the news of Cantor’s losing is, for Cantor, the worst, “Brat worst”!

Pretty tacky that after a 4 minute speech he left, not even taking the time to take questions from his supporters.

Uhhh maybe the supporters were held up because they didn’t have proper ID?

I guess the local SEIU Community Agitator didn't get the message that Cantor had LOST in time....

Maybe since they were all keyed up to go, they decided "what they heck?"
