U.S. Congressman and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) goes down in flames.
It was bad enough for Majority Leader Eric Cantor that he lost tonight’s primary to a Tea Party insurgent, but things got ugly at his victory party turned wake.
After Cantor conceded and left the ballroom immigration activists broke in and began screaming for immigration reform. Police had to be called, but not before a Cantor supporter tossed a glass of wine at a female protester. Just because Cantor went down in defeat the GOP’s war on women continues.

Then things became rowdy. A group of immigration activists suddenly stormed the ballroom, screaming and waving a flag. “What do we want? Immigration reform! When do we want it? Now!”A few Cantor supporters tried to block them, and there was pushing and shoving. One supporter threw his glass of wine onto a female protester. She swore at him in return.A hotel employee took the microphone to warn, in Spanish, that the police were on their way. The police did come, and the protesters left. As they walked through the parking lot afterward, a Cantor supporter shouted, “Get a job!”
