Turns Out No One Was Intentionally Shooting At Eric Cantor’s Office
Maybe next time House Minority Whip Eric Cantor decides to make a (almost literally) federal case about something he should check with the police first. Yesterday, Cantor held a rather dramatic news conference to announce that the Dems weren’t the only victims of violence following Sunday’s health care vote; someone had shot at his office also! During the conference Cantor blamed the Democrats for “fanning the flames of violence” by politicizing the threats and furthermore said: “It is reckless to use these incidents as media vehicles for political gain.”
Uh huh. So today the Richmond police weighed in on the matter telling Politico that actually the bullet was just a random act of gunfire.
But that bullet that pierced the window in House Minority Whip Eric Cantor’s Richmond office was merely a stray shot from a random act of gunfire, a Richmond Police department spokesman told POLITICO Friday afternoon. Video of varying cable reports below…including a brief mention on Fox.
