Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House

[Suranis]

Popehat has a good take:

I mean it’s definitely being presented as gay and the people leaking it are counting on homophobia to sink him, which raises questions about who is doing it.

No, it does not. We know exactly who is doing it.

Really? Do tell.

Whoever it is will never pay for a drink, a dinner or a key bump if I'm in the room!

[Suranis]

Really? Do tell.

Do I "know" it in a court of law sense? No. But it's fairly obvious this is people in the GOP giving him the laugh.

You got me with "drip".

Here's one that doesn't involve video of Cawthorn's bare ass and thrusting penis. Thankfully.

Madison Cawthorn May Have a New Ethics Violation to Handle
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) has been embroiled in scandal after scandal. But this one, while much more traditionally Washington, could still be a problem.

Overpaying a staff member hardly seems like Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s biggest scandal these days, but a Daily Beast investigation into Cawthorn’s compensation for his chief of staff reveals a cut-and-dried ethics violation—one his office appears to have tried (and failed) to skirt.

This one is a little complex and can't really be explained in a four paragraph snippet. But yeah. Looks like they played fast and loose with the rules and tried (unsuccessfully) to hide it. I'm so shocked.

My most sincere apologies for causing you any discomfort.

Could be worse. He could have said something like "They are drip feeding us these scandals."

Did anyone think he would ever be? I don’t think so.

Steve Hofstetter, on Madison Cawthorn. (comedian, but not a humorous video)

Likely not only the yougest but the most uneducated member the House ever had to endure.

[Slim Cognito]

Didn't watch the video but read Kendra's link. Caught myself feeling a bit sorry for him. But it passed, like a gas bubble.

[Kendra]

That video is excellent, well worth the time.

I think Boebert is the literal most uneducated, especially if she couldn't pass the GED.

[Dr. Ken]

I saw him live last year he's excellent. He's known for shutting down hecklers

Halfway through, I get the impression of someone who's years after his accident is still bitter that he can't be what he once was instead of trying to figure out his potential with what he has. There's still a lot he can do but he's focused on what he can't. Never a good place. But he also sounds like he's always been deplorable.

Most revealing line in the article is early on:

“I miss my life,” he said. “I miss being able to defend myself

This is something I wouldn't miss because I don't worry about it (I'm not so afraid all the time I worry about defending myself). I'd be concerned about it *after* I was incapacitated for obvious reasons, but that's not what he said.

[Slim Cognito]

“I miss my life,” he said. “I miss being able to defend myself

Considering all the guns he's tried to carry on to an airplane, I don't see the problem.

[Azastan]

“I miss my life,” he said. “I miss being able to defend myself

Considering all the guns he's tried to carry on to an airplane, I don't see the problem.

And at least one knife.

He takes the knives to elementary schools. It’s those out of control second graders.

[pipistrelle]

Given his inflated view of himself he may mean he's no longer Chuck Norris, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood in one package.

I have friends who live in Hendersonville. Not dangerous. (Of course, they live in a gated community at the top of a mountain. )
