I Don’t Believe Eric Cantor (UPDATED)
March 25, 2010 at 12:35 PM Leave a comment
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) came out today and dismissed concerns about the growing political violence:
I’ve received threats since I assumed elected office, not only because of my position but also because I’m Jewish. I’ve never blamed anyone in this body for that, period. Any suggestion that a leader in this body would incite threats or acts against other members is akin to saying that I would endanger myself, my wife or my children. Just recently I have been directly threatened. A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week, and I’ve received threatening e-mails. But I will not release them, because I believe such actions will only encourage more to be sent.
If a bullet was shot through the window of Cantor’s campaign office “this week” — meaning, presumably, before today — he’d have been jumping up and down about it IMMEDIATELY.
Show me a police report or the bullet that was pulled from the wall or a receipt from the glass company that replaced the glass.
UPDATE: The police have spoken, here.
