      (CNN) -- Former House Majority Leader Eric      Cantor's new gig on Wall Street will line his pockets, to the      tune of more than $1 million per year. And for those who      played an instrumental role in his defeat in Virginia's      primaries, the justification of their concerns about the      former congressman is quite fulfilling.    
      Kevin Broughton, communications director of the Tea Party      Patriots Citizens Fund, said, "many analysts accused Eric      Cantor of paying more attention to Wall Street than to the      people of Virginia's 7th District. He certainly didn't waste      any time validating that theory."    
      Cantor, who was the No. 2 Republican in the House,       lost his primary this year to unknown college professor      David Brat. Part of the reason was voters thought he was      disconnected from his Richmond, Virginia, district by      focusing instead on his duties as a fundraiser and national      leader for the Republican Party. He left Congress early,      resigning his seat last month.    
      Since 1999, the seven-term congressman had raised more than      $3 million from the investment industry. And in his last      campaign, the industry was his largest contributor, donating      $785,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.    
      For disaffected conservatives, especially among the tea      party, which came to life early in the Obama administration      and took on a populist message, Cantor's move to a boutique      investment bank, Moelis & Co., as a vice chairman and      board member is proof that their concerns were spot on.    
      In a statement, Cantor said, "When I considered options for      the next chapter of my career, I knew I wanted to join a firm      with a great entrepreneurial spirit that focused on its      clients."    
      Some took to Twitter to express their      satisfaction:
