Why Virginia Democrats Need to Get Out the Vote This Fall in District 7
If you thought U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor’s views on the budget and other matters were bad, take a look at the guy Virginia Republicans in House District 7 chose instead. Mother Jones provides these nuggets about Randolph-Macon College (student population: 1,300) economics professor and tea party candidate David Brat.
It’s hard to imagine Brat denouncing white celebrities as he has Jay-Z and Beyonce, except everyone knows tea partiers are NOT racist
- His negative ads criticized Cantor for entertaining the idea of immigration reform and acting to end the debt ceiling crisis
- He wants to cut Medicare and Social Security assistance to seniors by two-thirds
- Climate change is not an issue because “rich countries solve their problems”
