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!”

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

Couldn't think of a more perfect ending.
Adios, Senor Cantor!

I’d say they were an election late and many votes short. Never fear however, Obama is going to “phone and pen” it for them.

I bet the fact that Eric lost really upset their plans.
The fact that he scurried off like a little weasel says he was privy to and endorsed their little "tantrum."

That would have been the most ridiculous gang fight since the Jets and Sharks mixed it up in West Side Story.

I missed Cantor’s concession speech.
Did he voice his support for Brat — you know, in an effort to UNITE THE PARTY and all that?!?! Cuz that’s what conservatives are always told, right? We must join together to fight the “real enemy” the Democrats.

I don't see how any amnesty proponent can complain about trespassers or party crashers.
They're really just undocumented guests...
