In an interview, Moulton ripped Cantor for working against conservative activists.
“I don’t understand why Eric Cantor is picking such a public fight with the conservatives in his own base,” Moulton said. “The Tea Party, the Liberty movement, pro-life conservatives, pro-gun activists. It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me and I think in Henrico County and big group of them said that we weren’t going to take this anymore,” Moulton said.
“We need a unifying conservative Republican base to win elections and this divisiveness of Ray Allen, his consultant, is really, really very, very divisive, very disenfranchising, and really not helpful to them,” he added.
Brat aide Pudner called it a “stunning development gives further evidence of the surprise vulnerability of the re-election bid of the Majority Leader.”
Cantor and Brat will face-off in a June 10 primary election, and the Henrico meeting Monday has no direct impact on that race. But Pudner said it was nonetheless a sign of Cantor's weakness with only a little more than two months before primary day.
Any polling about this race?
I live in IL so hate to comment on other people’s Senators ;-)
But it seems that this Cantor is a really slippery dude who love the game of “reach-across” and the DC party circuit with his “good friends” from the most exclusive club in the world. So I hope VA can find a way to deal with him, and we’ll keep work against his democrat counterpart, Dirtbin...
This is one smug little putz I’d REALLY like to see defeated.
This is why the RNC immediately changed the convention rules after the 2012 national convention, to make it all but impossible for grassroots groups to be delegates in 2016. The delegates will all be vetted by the moderate/business mossbacks in the RNC. This guarantees the demise of the Republican Party, of course.
Seriously?? ya think maybe because Cantor is a DC insider criminal?? Moulton should have just alluded to that fact.
“I don’t understand why Eric Cantor is picking such a public fight with the conservatives in his own base,”
I think it is because Rino’s have an inbred propensity towards losing battles.
Cantor, nothing but a sock puppet. All these RINOs need to be removed and sent packing. I bet if they would lose they would run as libtard demonkrats.
This is what we have to do to take our country back
Dave Brat is great. He’s fighting a tough battle, against a well-funded, powerful incumbent. But Brat is taking it to him!
Good news.
