NC-11: Cawthorn Addresses Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Republican nominee candidate for NC Congressional District 11 Madison Cawthorn is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct. BPR spoke with Cawthorn at a law enforcement rally over the weekend:
Last week, Katrina Krulikas, took to Instagram to share her story about a date she went on with Cawthorn six years ago. On that date, she said Cawthorn forcibly tried to kiss her. In the post she writes: “ I recall being so startled, that as he tried to grab me and I attempted to pull away, my hair was pulled instead and I got stuck in his chair. I had to yank out some of my hair just to free myself.”
Cawthorn shared his side of the story Saturday after a ‘Back The Blue’ rally in Sylva.
“I did try to kiss her, very normal in a flirtatious way. But then as soon as I realized, that she didn’t want to, I think she pulled back a little – the date was over,” says Cawthorn. “We continued to sit around the fire for quite a while. I took her back to her car. Everything was normal.”
