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!”

Meanwhile, over at Daily Kos, the approved Mainstream Media meme is being solidified:

“If Eric Cantor loses for being “insufficiently conservative”, the House GOP is about to enter new levels of crazy”

“What do we want? Immigration reform! When do we want it? Now!”

Because English is their second language, they did not understand that Cantor had just conceded.

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

I wonder if Hannity will keep having the “Architect” on his shows? Sean’s not a bad guy, but he does no favors to conservatives by propping Rove up and giving him a platform and credibility.

“And here he is ladies and gentlemen, the ‘Architect’, Karl Rove!”

Wise up Hannity!

I hope you are enjoying Cantor’s loss as much as I am.

I enjoyed listening to Hugh Hewitt’s shock at the loss of this GOPe stooge. He consoled himself that at least his pal Neel Kashkari won instead of Tim Donnelly and Kashkari could be the standard bearer for the amnesty-mass immigration wing of the GOP.

So, let me get this straight!

Cantor gave a short speech, refused to take questions and got the hell out of Dodge!
And that happened just before these idiots all came rushing into his election headquarters?

Let’s be honest - he left so that this OBVIOUSLY, STAGED PRANK didn’t make him look anymore foolish that his dumbass already looked in getting clobbered by a rookie politician?!?!

The fact that he scurried off like a little weasel says he was privy to and endorsed their little "tantrum."

Very astute observation. "Little weasel" BUMP!!

Perhaps not “Staged”, per se, but going to happen with his knowledge.

OOPSY!!!!!

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

It is kinda funny in a weird way...

Re that pic:

Meanwhile, somewhere nearby, housekeeping and groundskeeping managers are faced with a rash of absenteeism.
