Cantor: American Jobs Not a Joke

An AFSCME/Americans United Ad urged action against Republican leaders who were against the economic stimulus plan. In response, Republican House Minority WHIP Eric Cantor’s office responded with a profanity laden video with the declaration, “You could post this as my response.” Some think that we all need a better sense of humor, but the loss of so many American jobs is no joke. The careless and offhanded response to this serious ad about American jobs gives a small glimpse of the attitude of the office of one of our country’s most powerful Republicans toward hard working Americans.

Here’s the AFSCME/Americans United Ad:
