Chaos erupts at Cantor election night headquarters after his departure
WaPo ^ | 6/10/14 | Laura Vozzella,

Posted on 06/10/2014 7:37:03 PM PDT by ColdOne

Then it got really rambunctious. In the room of downcast Cantor allies, 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!”

A few Cantor supporters tried to block the protestors’ entrance into the ballroom, and pushing and shoving ensued. And before they reached the microphone, one Cantor supporter threw his glass of wine onto a female protestor. She swore at him in return.

“What kind of flag are they waving? Mexican? Red commie flag?”

Numerous links yet no answers to your simple question, therefore you have your answer.

The refugee dump on the border was the last straw and I think the Virginia results are just the beginning. I think the American people, of all backgrounds, are fed up with illegal immigration. Those politicians who seek reinforced border protection and a no vote on amnesty will be rewarded. Those who seek to compromise on this issue and give in to the left. Well, take a look at what just happened to the majority leader of the house of representatives. Oh, what a glorious night this is. Sure, there is so much more work to do, and there’s no guarantee that other Republicans will follow suit, but one of the biggest proponents of amnesty just bit the dust. We all know the GOPe is quaking in their boots as we speak. Take a good look at what happened tonight Mr. Boehner. You too Mr. McConnell. You are on notice now by a revitalized conservative movement in the GOP.

Immediately after Cantor exited the room, a group of political demonstrators stormed in, waving a flag and shouting. Several skirmishes occurred during the uproar. The group, CASA De Virginia, knocked the glasses off of a Cantor supporter’s face. Plates of food were pushed and protesters were also pushed around; one Cantor supporter was put in a choke hold. At this time it doesn’t seem as though any arrests were made.

They came in shouting and waving a large flag, along with a red shirt printed with the name CASA De Virginia.

The group defines itself as a community organization that protects civil rights, according to their Twitter page.

Cantor coordinated with them. He and they thought this would be the beginning of their victory march.

That's why he slinked away like a weasel before they got there.

Lots of libs and Democrats are pissed at open borders. Unfortunately not pissed enough to vote against the Democrat candidates...but enough to sit out elections. Hopefully

What a perfect backdrop for the nearly-simultaneous White House comment that immigration issues had nothing to do with Cantor's loss.

This is why Eric Cantor lost, and America will lose if the pro-amnesty politicians in Washington succeed. We are under invasion on our southern border and the national government who went to the Supreme Court to assert their power is failing us.

Thank you Virginia for Mr. Brat!
