A number of Republican lawmakers anonymously vented to The Hill
about House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) recent $25,000
donation to the Campaign for Primary Accountability, a super PAC that
aims to defeat incumbents.
“One veteran lawmaker, upset with the
majority leader’s perceived aggression toward members of his own party,
said House GOP members will now fear payback when they speak out or vote
against leadership… The drama is a continuation of Cantor’s move to
take sides in the member vs. member Illinois Republican primary that
pitted freshman Adam Kinzinger — Cantor’s pick — vs. 20-year incumbent
Don Manzullo.”
