Madison Cawthorn: The left loves wearing masks because they're 'soy boy cowards'

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) said on Friday that "the left" loves wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic because they're "soy boy cowards."

Cawthorn made his remarks in an appearance on a program called "The Water Cooler" carried by the right-wing Real America's Voice network.

Cawthorn said, "The reason the left loves so much having the coronavirus is because all they had to do was wear a mask and stay six feet away from other people."

"It made them feel strong and as if they were doing something valiant," Cawthorn sneered.

What if we exchanged “something valiant” with “did the right thing”?

And he’s correct, too. For a year all we could do is wear a mask ( well most of us did a lot of hand washing). You effs couldn’t even do that right.

So for a year we did that. What do you guys do Cawcorn?

I now wear my mask because I am unvaccinated and it provides limited protection against Covid and I love my community.

My question to that dickhead, if you think I'm doing it out of love, who or what is it you hate so much that you are against masks?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_boy

Soy boy is a pejorative term often used in online communities to describe men lacking masculine characteristics. The term bears many similarities and has been compared to the slang terms cuck and low-T ('low testosterone'), two other terms popularly used as an insult for male femininity by online communities.[1][2]


So, in his latest childish dog whistle to the alt-right, Cawthorne gets a swipe at Dems for mask wearing and calls them girls at the same time. Everyone knows that being called a girl is an insult, since women and girls are less-thans.

This from a grown man in Congress.

and disdain for empathy and concern for the health of others.

That statement doesn't have much internal logic (big shock), but it's part of their "Virtue Signalling" narrative they like to pin on us Librulz.

I can’t remember what his first name is (and I don’t care enough about him to look it up), but I’m sure it isn’t awful enough that “Madison” was the more appealing moniker to go by. 🙄

In 2014, at age 18, Cawthorn was injured while returning from a spring-break trip in Florida. He was a riding as a passenger in a BMW X3 SUV near Daytona Beach, Florida, when his friend Bradley Ledford fell asleep at the wheel. The SUV crashed into a concrete barrier while Cawthorn's feet were on the dashboard.[9][10] In a 2017 speech, Cawthorn said that Ledford left him "to die in a fiery tomb"; Ledford publicly disputed this in 2021, saying that he pulled Cawthorn from the wreck once he escaped the car.[7] In their depositions, Cawthorn stated that he had "no memory from the accident", while Ledford said that he had helped rescue an unconscious Cawthorn.[7] In the same 2017 speech, Cawthorn declared that he was "declared dead on the scene" of the accident, but the official accident report listed Cawthorn as "incapacitated".[7] The injuries from the accident left Cawthorn partially paralyzed, and he now uses a wheelchair.[6] He said he accrued $3 million in medical debt during his recovery;[11] he has received that amount as settlement from an insurance company, as well as other payments, and as of February 2021 is seeking $30 million more.[7]

U.S. Representative Mark Meadows nominated Cawthorn to the United States Naval Academy in 2014, but his application was rejected before his 2014 car accident; Cawthorn had claimed during his congressional campaign in advertisements that the accident "derailed" his plans to attend the Academy.[8][12][13][14] Cawthorn subsequently said that at the time of the injury, he knew only that he had been nominated to the Academy and that he had expected to be accepted, and added that he never said that he had been accepted before the accident took place, but could have applied again later.[15][16] But in a lawsuit deposition, Cawthorn admitted that he had been rejected before the accident.[7]

During the fall 2016 semester, Cawthorn attended Patrick Henry College, studying political science, but earned mostly D grades and dropped out. He said his grades were low primarily because his injuries had interfered with his ability to learn.[8] Cawthorn said in a deposition, "You know, suffering from a brain injury after the accident definitely I think it slowed my brain down a little bit. Made me less intelligent. And the pain also made reading and studying very difficult."[17] He also said he withdrew due to "heartbreak" after his fiancée broke up with him.[14][18]

From January 2015 to August 2016, Cawthorn worked as a staffer in Representative Mark Meadows's district office.[19] He told the Asheville Citizen-Times he worked there "full-time", but it was a part-time role.[7]

Cawthorn is the owner of SPQR Holdings, LLC, a real estate investment firm in Hendersonville. The firm was started in August 2019 and reported no income; Cawthorn is its sole employee.[8] The initialism SPQR was commonly used as a symbol of the Roman Empire and stands for Senātus Populusque Rōmānus ("The Roman Senate and People" ). SPQR "has been embraced by skinhead gangs in Italy and by some white nationalists in the United States".[20] Cawthorn has stated he used the initials for his company name merely because it is "a term for Rome" and that "SPQR is a warning to my generation from the ages against tyranny and authoritarianism."[20] The Anti-Defamation League does not include SPQR in its hate symbol database, and the organization's Mark Pitcavage has said it is used "just as much or more often by nonextremists than extremists".[21]
