Lefties Drag Cantor's Jewish Faith Into Shocking Loss, When They May Have Contributed to His

Desperate to tie David Brat's shocking defeat tonight of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia's Republican Congressional Primary to something other than voter resistance to illegal-immigrant amnesty, some on the left are already implying that Cantor's Jewish faith had something to do with the result. The fact that the seven-term Congressman has, as far as I can tell, never gotten grief of any kind from either party about his religious affiliation seems not to matter.

After the jump, readers will find a couple of religion-tainted tweets from bona fide members of the liberal media elite, followed by interesting items I found indicating that the left-leaning Jewish community's aggressive push for "immigration reform" in a district whose voters clearly oppose it may have helped do him in.

I didn’t know Cantor was Jewish until today.

I’ve know he’s a pro-amnesty, pro-Obamacare RINO for a couple of years. It’s not about faith, it’s about the republic.

According to Dick Morris she called someone that back when Clinton was governor, I think.

It has nothing to do with being in favor of amnesty. What does a national death wish have to do with anything? haha.
