August 11, 2020
By Brad Reed
Madison Cawthorn, a Trump-loving candidate for Congress in North Carolinas 11th District, has deleted vacation photos he posted on Instagram that he took while visiting German dictator Adolf Hitlers favorite retreat.
In the photos, Cawthorn could be seen smiling at various locations at the Eagles Nest, the Nazi retreat located in the German state of Bavaria that was visited by Hitler over a dozen times.
As The Forward reports, Cawthorn described the Eagles Nest as the vacation house of the Fuhrer, which was the honorific title given to Hitler by the Nazis. He also described seeing Hitlers vacation retreat as being on his bucket list.
Later in the post, Cawthorn described Hitler as a supreme evil, but then added he was happy to visit a place where Hitler shared laughs and good times with his compatriots.

He does have a Hitler Youth/"Tomorrow Belongs to Me" vibe about him and apparently he's as sketchy as he seems given this profile of him:

SoCalNative was spot on predicting Cawthorn's eventual fate.
