Rep. Vance McAllister (R-LA) said on Tuesday that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) had asked him to resign and, according to McAllister, the response was a very clear “no.”
Cantor had asked his fellow congressman to resign after McAllister was caught on tape kissing a staffer who is not his wife.
On Tuesday, Politico reported reported the meeting had taken place and Cantor confirmed he’d asked McAllister to resign.
Here’s McAllister’s statement:
I did meet with Leader Cantor this morning. He asked me why I would want to put myself through this for the next eight months if I’m not running for reelection. He did ask me to consider resigning, but I respectfully disagree with him and my family is behind my decision. I do not feel it’s in my constituents’ best interest to leave them without representation for the second time in less than a year. My district deserves a voice and a fair election process, not an expensive potential special election that benefits the establishment.
A day earlier, McAllister announced he would not seek re-election this year.
Both McCallister and Grimm need a new stylist.
Two meat heads engaged in a tussle for all the wrong reasons.
He’s already got Duck Dynasty behind him, maybe he should ring up Donald Sterling for advice.
If they resigned there would be no need for water on the hair in the morning.
I’ll bet he felt pretty special and loved by his Housemates when he was in the news for inviting the moron to the SOTU.
Now some of those same people are telling him to get outta town. Diaper Dave managed to ride out his marital infidelity.
He must be so confused.
