Say What? Top Eric Cantor Consultant Threatens To Bankrupt Republican Party of Virginia
According to PJ Media, this top consultant to the number-two Republican in the
House of Representatives is threatening to bankrupt the Republican Party of
Virginia if his hand-picked slate of establishment Republicans are not put in
positions of power.
(PJ Media) Sources tell PJ Media that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s long-time top consultant, Ray Allen, has "angrily" stated to multiple individuals that he intends to bankrupt the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV), to install his own people throughout all levels of RPV’s State Central Committee, and to rebuild the RPV with money from Eric Cantor’s donors.
Ray Allen is considered the "brain trust" of Eric Cantor’s Young Guns, which has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and has hired staff with the intention of retaking control of the RPV at all levels. (Eric Cantor and Ray Allen lost control of the RPV in 2012, when Tea Party/conservative candidates won seats at all levels of the party, taking majority control from Cantor allies.) In this effort to reclaim the majority, Ray Allen has helped orchestrate the parliamentary procedure of "slating" at several RPV conventions this season.
Slating involves disenfranchising all properly registered delegates at a district convention in favor of a vote by only a few dozen handpicked delegates. This tactic was employed to protect the incumbent chairmanships of some Cantor allies: hundreds to thousands of Tea Party/conservative delegates have been forcefully ejected from VA RPV conventions over the past few weeks and months.

The RPV is already morally bankrupt. This will make it totally bankrupt.
ReplyDeleteThis will also make it easier for the democrats to retake control of Virginia.
