Madison Cawthorn: GOP congressman who voted to overturn election results admits race not fraudulant

Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina said Saturday that he accepts Joe Biden as president and that the 2020 election was not conducted fraudulently.

The freshman congressman made the comments to CNN's Pamela Brown when pressed about his lingering views on the November election results.

Cawthorn was one of more than 120 House GOP members who voted to sustain the objection to electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania earlier this month when Congress met to to certify President-elect Biden's victory.

"Yes, I think I would say that the election was not fraudulent. You know, the Constitution allowed for us to be able to push back as much as we could and I did that to the amount of the constitutional limits that I had at my disposal. So now I would say that Joseph R. Biden is our president," he added.

Are telling us that they would welcome a dictatorship as long as the dictator is a member of the GOP.

He's just like Tom Cotton when it comes to embellishment and exaggeration.

Seems the prick lied about his training for the Paralympic Games. . .just like he embellished his education, business record, and why he was rejected for the Naval Academy.

Elite disabled athletes were aware of Madison Cawthorn long before he ran for office — because his Instagram was a running joke. “We would share whatever posts he put up and be like, ‘Look at what batshit thing he said about the Paralympics this week'. . .
The claims he was making were just so absurd, you have to find some humor in it."
