Eric Cantor Cancels Speech

Michael Arnstein Friday, Oct. 21, 2011Fri, Oct 21, 2011

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has canceled his scheduled appearance at Hunstman Hall today, where he planned to speak about income inequality as part of a Wharton Leadership Lecture series. Cantor was told his talk would be open only to Penn students, but upon learning it would be opened to the public — and targeted by protestors, including those involved with Occupy Philly — Cantor reneged on his appearance. How much fuel did he just add to the fire with this stunt? Give us your thoughts in the comments.
