Cantor Indicates He Won’t Become A Lobbyist But Doesn’t Rule It Out (VIDEO)

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) on Sunday indicated he won’t go into lobbying now that he lost the Republican nomination for his seat to Tea Party challenger Dave Brat.

“I don’t think that I want to be a lobbyist, but I do want to be — play a role in — in the public debate. I’ve had a lot of experience, obviously, in the intersection of government and politics and issues affecting the global economy,” Cantor said on ABC’s “This Week” when asked if he would ruled out lobbying.

But he also didn’t rule it out.

“I don’t want to close off any options right now. I’m just hopeful that I can continue to be a champion for the kinds of things that we are working on here in Washington,” he said about his future. “I believe after almost 23 years in public service, that I can play a role and not just in elected office, obviously, but in the private sector.

  2. He’s a liar. Lobbying is where the Big Money is.

  3. Typical Republican Congressman still, equivocating, and talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time. Yes, some Dems do it, too, but they sort of prefer to actually work for a living after they are defeated at the ballot box, or simply retire and write an intelligent book.

  5. Ex-Congressman Bitchface will end up as RNC chair. I mean. Why not? He’s every bit as good as Rinsed Pubis at parroting the crazy chit that will be written for him by his corporate masters.
