“Eric of course in the primary for the last two weeks says that he’s against all of this, and he’s even against all of his own bills that he’s written,” he added. “But I think the voters know and we’re having overwhelming success here today.”

And it’s right on the bolded part that Brat highlights what won him the primary: The voters thought Eric Cantor was lying to them and they decided to vote him out for his duplicity. Seen that way, one could almost see Cantor’s removal as an act of political hygiene. Unfortunately, Dave Brat is too nutty for that to be the case.

Doesn’t matter at this point. Fact remains. Cantor might have been a douche but Brat is more of a fringe Republican than Cantor.
