After loss blamed on Hamptons trips, Cantor goes to the Hamptons

Although House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s stunning defeat was blamed on spending too much time in the Hamptons, he’s commiserating out east this weekend.

After the No. 2 House Republican was ousted in a primary, he’s still on for a $500-a-plate luncheon fund-raiser in Quogue Saturday for Republican Lee Zeldin.

Cantor is also due to appear Saturday at a “Father’s Day Sabbath” at the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach, where he’s expected to speak.

A synagogue rep said, “As of this moment, Eric Cantor is still going to appear.” An unnamed top Republican had told Politico that Cantor lost because he “spent too much time on the road and in the Hamptons.”
