NC-11: GOP Candidate Was Rejected from Naval Academy

[RandySF]

North Carolina congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn (R) has suggested that an accident upended his plans to join the Navy — but he was actually rejected from the Naval Academy before the accident, Jezebel reports.

Also relevant to an earlier story about Cawthorn deleting photos from Hitler’s retreat: His real estate firm uses the acronym SPQR and he has two Betsy Ross flags displayed in his house — both have been associated with white nationalists.

5. Please donate, DU, we can win Meadows seat.

Moe Davis is highly regarded even by most Republicans in the region. This is winnable.

4. I read he was nominated by his congressman but his he was denied admission

Basically he was turned down. I looked to see if he stepped foot on the academy yard as a midshipmen but can’t find that anywhere.

6. The congressman who nominated him to the Naval Academy is Mark Meadows,

previously of NC-11 and now the president's chief-of-staff.
