Trump-loving GOP candidate rushes to delete vacation pics at Hitler's favorite retreat

August 11, 2020
By Brad Reed



Madison Cawthorn, a Trump-loving candidate for Congress in North Carolina’s 11th District, has deleted vacation photos he posted on Instagram that he took while visiting German dictator Adolf Hitler’s favorite retreat.

In the photos, Cawthorn could be seen smiling at various locations at the Eagle’s 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 Eagle’s Nest as “the vacation house of the Fuhrer,” which was the honorific title given to Hitler by the Nazis. He also described seeing Hitler’s 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:

He would have been one of the first ones his hero sent to the camps for extermination.

I was thinking of that exact piece of music as I read the OP.

SoCalNative was spot on predicting Cawthorn's eventual fate.
