Report: Dem Who Declared 'War On Fox' Isn't Even A Candidate

CATHERINE THOMPSON – APRIL 11, 2014, 5:15 PM EDT

The Democrat who declared "war" on Fox News isn't actually a candidate running for Virginia's 7th congressional district, at least not on behalf of the Democratic Party, according to a report Friday.

Mike Dickinson was described as a Democratic candidate challenging House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) during an appearance Thursday night on Fox's "On The Record." He sparred with host Greta Van Susteren over his credentials and the Tea Party, insisting that America needs politicians who don't "sugarcoat" or "lie."

But Mediaite reported on Friday that the Virginia 7th Congressional District Democratic Committee announced it had cancelled this year's nominating convention because no candidate had filed to run for the seat before the 5 p.m. deadline Thursday.

The committee's chair told Mediaite that Dickinson informed the party at the "last minute" that he wasn't going to file to run for Cantor's seat.
