He is so cool!"

Ask yourself, how many so called billionaires do you know who go to self serve gas stations to fuel up the mid life crisis-mobile? His fsat ass would barely fit in that car even then and I will bet one Confederate dollar that he can barely drive a stick shift.

The newspaper clipping calls it a Lamborghini.

Cawthorn was just informed of Shinzo Abe’s existence and death.

With two weeks to go until a primary election he was fated to lose, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) was already underwater. His campaign held more than twice as much debt as it had cash on hand, the donor well was dry, and he and his staff were months into a madcap spending streak that one campaign source called “baffling.”

And now, after indeed losing that primary, there’s no money to pay the piper.

Specifically, there’s no money to repay the supporters who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in advance to Cawthorn’s election efforts beyond the primary—to the general election he now won’t be competing in.

Madison Cawthorn illegally spent campaign funds, can't afford to repay supporters: Report

Outgoing Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) has illegally spent campaign funds and now cannot afford to repay supporters, according to a report.

“There was just no money,” a source told the outlet. “It was dollar-in, dollar-out. So if he loses, it’s a really bad thing, and the only way to cover it is getting money straight from the candidate or treasurer.”

Under federal law, candidates are permitted to raise money for primary and general election races simultaneously, but the funding must be used for the race for which it is designated — otherwise, it must be paid back. Now that Cawthorn has lost his primary, he is required by law to refund those donations, but his campaign has already depleted much of those funds, making it difficult for him to pay it all back.

Documents from early May indicate that he had roughly $137,000 on hand and owed $325,000 in debt at the time, per the outlet. Specifics on his current financial predicament are not clear.

A source argued that his primary campaign was rife with frivolous spending, such as nearly $3,000 in spending at Papa’s Beer and $21,000 for lodging accommodations in Florida, the outlet reported. His campaign also racked up excessive consulting fees — the main source of his funding woes, the source noted.

“Nobody ever did the math, which baffled me because the spending was so outrageous,” a source said.
