Cantor Repudiates Nazi Reenactor
Politico reports:
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Sunday criticized a Republican nominee for the U.S. House who has reportedly participated in Nazi reenactments.
In a debate on "Fox News Sunday," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) raised the example of Rich Iott, a member of the National Republican Congressional Committee's "Young Guns" program, as an example of GOP extremism. The Atlantic reported that Iott participated in the reenactment group with his son as "a father-son bonding thing" and left three years ago after his son lost interest.
"She knows that I would absolutely repudiate that and not support that," Cantor said.
"Well, you haven't," Wasserman Schultz said.
"I'm doing that right here," Cantor, who is Jewish, responded. "I'm doing that right here. You know good and well I don't support anything like that."
Iott is trying to unseat Democrat Marcy Kaptur in Ohio's 9th Congressional District.
