The DCCC piled on criticism of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor after he canceled an income inequality speech at the University of Pennsylvania Friday.
“As soon as Eric Cantor found out that everyday Americans would be able to hear his speech about Republicans protecting ‘people at the top’, he cancelled it,” said Jesse Ferguson of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Not only does Eric Cantor not listen to the American people, now he doesn’t even want them listening to him. For 290 days, Majority Leader Cantor and House Republicans have refused to budge on making billionaires and Big Oil pay their fair share, so we can create middle class jobs and help small businesses grow – and it looks like that’s going to continue for day 291.”
