Re: Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
Here's one that doesn't involve video of Cawthorn's bare ass and thrusting penis. Thankfully.
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.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/madison-c ... -to-handleMadison 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.

Re: Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
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.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 10:21 am Didn't watch the video but read Kendra's link. Caught myself feeling a bit sorry for him.
