If he did, he should be removed from that position at once. The whole caucus should’ve abstained from this vote.
That’s what CQ politics claims.

“But even with Republican ire pointed in the direction of the legislation, GOP leaders, while publicly opposing the bill, quietly supported a different course of action behind the scenes. House Minority Whip Eric Cantor , R-Va., spent much of the morning urging freshmen and vulnerable members of the caucus (sic, I think the GOP uses “Conference”) to vote with the Democrats, according to a Republican aide familiar with the discussions.
Cantor himself voted with the Democrats.”
This is some real knee jerk legislation. What else has ever passed this fast?
