Eric Cantor’s Press Secretary Interrupts 60 Min Interview to Claim Reagan Never Raised Taxes

From Leslie Stahl’s interview with Rep. Cantor: 

Stahl: What’s the difference between compromise and cooperate?

Cantor: Well, I would say cooperate is let’s look to where we can move things forward where we agree. Comprising principles, you don’t want to ask anybody to do that. That’s who they are as their core being.

Stahl: But you know, your idol, as I’ve read anyway, was Ronald Reagan. And he compromised.

Cantor: He never compromised his principles.

Stahl: Well, he raised taxes and it was one of his principles not to raise taxes.

Cantor: Well, he— he also cut taxes.

Stahl: But he did compromise—

Cantor: Well I —

[Press Secretary: That just isn’t true. And I don’t want to let that stand.]

Truth be told, Eric Cantor remains petulant.

One of my pet peeves: When obnoxious little nerds act like they’re badd bitches. Eric Cantor, is a nerdy little twat. BOOM!
