Eric Cantor: Republicans refusing to tell truth led to Capitol siege

[mtngirl47]

6. Eric Cantor needs to own his part in encouraging the crazy wing of Republicans

Cantor was Majority Leader while the Republican Congress voted 49 times to repeal the ACA (Obamacare).

Cantor was Majority Leader while the Republican Congress shut down the Government in 2013 in a play to repeal the ACA.

Cantor and Paul Ryan could not control their caucus. They knew that every bill they passed had no chance in the Senate. They knew that if their efforts succeeded in the Senate that President Obama would veto the bill. The Republicans wasted time and money for 9 years trying to repeal the ACA.

Republicans didn't spend one minute in the past 9 years trying to come up with a replacement health care bill.

"Moderate" Republicans didn't spend one minute since 2009 telling their base the truth.
