House Majority Leader Eric Cantor posted a video Thursday that has Democrats scratching their heads. Is he running for something (besides reelection to his Richmond, VA-area Congressional district)?
Check out the video, titled “Snapshot of the Leader :: 9 am – 10 am”:
One Democratic operative suggested that the video looks like a presidential campaign ad from the man once known as Overdog. The source also notes the fluffy video was paid for with taxpayer funds.
“We finally found Eric Cantor’s jobs plan – hiring taxpayer funded staffers to spend every day photographing every minute of his life and producing videos his staff can watch and tell him how great he is,” the operative said. “Viewers are left wondering if this taxpayer funded self-promotion video is just the groundwork of a VP bid or just a highly active morning of undermining Speaker Boehner.”
Team Cantor suggested the Democrats may be spending a little too much time on conspiracy theory message boards.
“Sometimes a video is just… A video. If some Democrats want to look for subliminal messages or secret codes, that’s cool,” said Cantor spokesperson Brad Dayspring. “Sounds like someone has read the DaVinci Code one too many times.”
