An aide to Virginia 7th District Congressman and Short Pump resident Eric Cantor is apologizing after a profanity-laced video was sent out. Aide Brad Dayspring emailed a profanity-laced YouTube video in which a voice actor dubbed over an American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) commercial from the 1970s. The video was sent to a reporter with Politico.com seeking reaction to an AFSCME television ad in which Cantor is attacked for his opposition to the proposed stimulus package.
Cantor was unaware the email was sent. Dayspring apologized for sending the video, taking full responsibility for the heat Cantor’s office received for the message. “I would like to apologize for a joke that was in no way an official response from Congressman Cantor, but instead an inappropriate e-mail,” Dayspring said. Cantor’s office says Dayspring will be disciplined for his actions. The video can be viewed by clicking here (WARNING: video filled with large amounts of foul language).
