Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said on Wednesday that he didn’t get a call from Pres. Obama??after he lost his?congressional seat in the Virginia primary.
“Not a word,” Cantor said when asked on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” if Obama tried to contact him.
“I did hear from the vice president several times and several of the members on both sides. Obviously you have a lot of friendships there,” Cantor continued.
Watch the clip via CNBC:
What does this clown expect? This isn’t a high school football game after which everyone shakes hands and says “good game, bro.” This is real life — people’s lives. Eric Cantor has been directly responsible for creating so much misery. He was the enemy. And to add insult to injury, when Cantor lost, he had the audacity to blame Pres. Obama?for his loss.
Good riddance, Eric Cantor. Glad the door didn’t hit you as you exited directly into your lucrative new job?in which you’ll be directly selling access to your former congressional colleagues. You didn’t screw us all enough when you gave big fat smooches to the finance industry, I guess. Now you’re going to be screwing us from the inside.
Say what you will about our president, but he is something that Republicans will?NEVER understand: genuine. Why would he call Eric Cantor? Why should he? If he had called him, I’d feel that he sold out?– just as?Eric Cantor did a long time ago.
This is probably how Pres. Obama felt when he heard of Cantor’s loss (bad quality audio, but hilarious):
