The National Republican Campaign Committee finally released a statement on House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) losing in the Republican primary for his district to economics professor David Brat.
The NRCC released the statement Wednesday afternoon. By about 8 p.m. on Tuesday the race had been called for Brat. Here is the NRCC’s statement from NRCC Chairman Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR):
Eric Cantor has been a steadfast leader for our party, and a great friend and mentor for so many House Republicans. I know Eric will continue to lead on the issues he cares so deeply about. Virginia families have selected Republican David Brat to represent them in Congress. I congratulate him on his victory and look forward to working with him in Congress.
Walden has also been reportedly indicating that his committee plans to support Brat in the general election.

Wonder how the kochBoys are handling the loss of their campaign funds…
especially since the SupremeCorporation helped them so much with the CU ruling.
Wow. So much bullshit packed into only 5 lines of text.
Virginia families? That’s a rather peculiar way of saying voters.
Good catch. That’s code for, you know, family values, a man and a woman, white and fertile.
Yes, they were so busy celebrating this great victory that it took them all day to release their statement.
Wonder how many boxes of kleenex and bottles of bourbon they went through.
