GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn missed 15 House votes bc he was fulfilling his 'service as a husband'

[riversedge]

My guess is that this will be ok with his constituents and get re=elected.

..........................

Data collected by the legislative-analysis firm Quorum and reported on by Axios found that Cawthorn had missed the highest percentage of votes - 16.2% - of any freshman House member during the 117th Congress. The top five freshmen to miss the most votes are all Republicans.

"To that, I really laugh. It shows how the Democrats feel about the nuclear family in America right now. I was doing the only thing that I find more important than my service in Congress, and that's my service as a husband," Cawthorn told host David Brody when asked about Axios' reporting on his missed votes.

Cawthorn said that "they had the votes pile up" the week he was away for his honeymoon after marrying his wife, Cristina Bayardelle, in his home state of North Carolina in early April, which resulted in him missing out on 15 votes.


"Every single vote that came up was some Democrat garbage, so I was happy to be able to not actually have to vote on those," Cawthorn said. "They're eliminating our voices. They're not allowing us to debate on the House floor. And, I'm telling you, if I had to choose between voting with Nancy Pelosi or spending time with my beautiful wife, I'll choose Cristina every time." .......................................

1. LOL!. . .

These people are INSANE.

[riversedge]

3. Republican voters love the insane Reps.

[jimfields33]

9. They certainly are

Do other representatives get to take a honeymoon during sessions? That was not a necessary absence because it could be Scheduled during any numerous recess’ congress has.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. They only serve in politics to steal money for themselves.

No money. No incentive.

There was a time we would have called these people thieves and bums.

............Cawthorn also did not designate another lawmaker to enter votes on his behalf while he was on his honeymoon. Under special COVID-19 procedures, House members can vote by proxy via a colleague..............

26. Under the House Rules, Members must attest

To the reason that they are not voting is “ due to the current public health emergency”. One would hope that there was no public health emergency on his honeymoon, although, maybe something was caught at the bachelor party if Matty “call girl” Gaetz was responsible for procuring the “talent” for the show.

[JanMichael]

4. Fucking loser lazy nazi wannbee. nt

[Dave says]

36. Thus he has a strong future in the Repub party

[Claire Oh Nette]

39. Even his local GOP handlers are pissed off at him

The local sheriff and the Henderson Co. GOP bigwigs regret their backing him. He was not their first choice.

NC11 on twitter excoriates him, daily. He won't win again. Democrat Lt. Col. Moe Davis may run again, and already there are multiple GOP challengers for his seat.

5. Erm... not what the taxpayers are paying you for.

Yet another Qbert scam artist.

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Perfect. The Missus is "...an Instagram fitness influencer..." As vapid as he is.

[Docreed2003]

7. It's incredible how everything with these psychopaths can be turned into an attack on Dems

Fail at meeting the requirements of your job? Blame Democrats for "stacking up votes" when you were dedicating yourself to the "nuclear family". What horse crap! I would be more surprised to see the "party of personal responsibility" actually take on some every now and then.

[bottomofthehill]

27. The only reason most, not all but most

Of the votes were called is because Marjorie Taylor Green was throwing a temper tantrum.

[Zambero]

8. So if the bills he missed votes on were "Democrat garbage"

wouldn't that actually increase the imperative to show up and vote against them? I am amazed at the flimsy and laughable excuses that wingnut legislators conjure up whenever they find themselves with backs to the wall.

[GoCubsGo]

23. The only "garbage" is what he sees every time he looks in the mirror.

What a putrid waste of flesh.

10. Washington inoculated his Army against smallpox you blithering idiot

11. Shitbirds like Cawthorn are only in congress to slow down progress.

He has no positive ideas to contribute, so let his sorry ass stay home where he can do less damage.

[eShirl]

15. you don't know

[blm]

18. That is NOT the issue.

He travels quite a bit to appear at rallies all over the country. He sees himself as building his personal brand not bogged down in boring legislation.

His strength is his shamelessness.

Spokesmodel for Uneducated NeoNazi Youth

[tanyev]

19. It didn't stop him from visiting Hitler's vacation home in Bavaria in 2017.

He seems to get around very well.

[marble falls]

14. In two years he'll have plenty of time.

[tanyev]

16. I wouldn't appreciate my husband describing a honeymoon trip as 'service',

but I'm sure Cawthorn married a woman who's as obnoxious as he is.

[OnDoutside]

17. Looks like they're well suited....

[tanyev]

21. Oh my goodness. Is that even possible without steroids?

[eShirl]

24. Yes but it takes a lot of work, excellent diet and rest.

[GoCubsGo]

30. It's possible if you spend your life in the gym.

Which this twit apparently does as a "fitness influencer." If you look at Simone Biles and other gymnasts, they're built like that, and they don't use steroids. The same goes for women hockey players, skiers, cyclists, etc.
I put on muscle in my thighs fairly easily, even at my advanced age. If I spent the day on a bike, or doing squats with weights, I'd have legs like that, too. Not that I'd want to, since I'm not an athlete.

[tanyev]

38. That's true, a lot of elite female athletes do look like that.

Although I don't think many of them try to maintain it once they stop competing. It must take a tremendous amount of time and discipline.

[OnDoutside]

33. Oh I'm sure it's all natural.... !

[3catwoman3]

31. That is very odd wording, to be sure.

[Claire Oh Nette]

40. FUn fact: he married in December

Cawthorn is a pathological liar.
He marrie din December because adding a wife to his federal benefits package in APril would have been too complicated for him.

[link:http://ashevilledailyplanet.com/news/5138-cawthorn-bayardelle-seal-legal-marriage-in-december-with-religious-rite-on-april-3-|]

She's at least his second fiancee. He blamed the first one for his stellar D average in that one semester of junior college.

Funny, but Matt Gaetz proposed in December, before his tawdry personal pedophilia history emerged. Many are saying Cawthorn's "wife" is a beard, too.

[area51]

20. What?

[Diamond_Dog]

25. F-U Cawthorn.

If you are unwilling to do the job you were elected to do, Resign.

[hatrack]

28. Honeymoon in Berchtesgaden? He obviously enjoyed his first visit .. .

Top it off with a trip to the Burgerbraukeller? Maybe Prinz Albrechtstrasse?

[MuseRider]

29. I finally went and really read some stuff about this guy.

He lies better than most and gets caught all the time but just like we know of them, they love it apparently. He lies, then recounts his story after caught but then makes up better lies that get caught. PERFECT!

Here in Kansas we have little to say about any of that anymore since our party took out a long term Democrat and filled his position with a young, inexperienced guy with a big mouth who has been caught and still believes that revenge porn is OK, hitting your girlfriend is OK etc. Makes me not so very proud of our state Dems and makes me scared of what is next.

We have always had our own problems with these kinds of things, never like this though and it seems like most of the new R's are all just making it up as they go.

[Hotler]

34. The man has no empl;oyment skills. Showing up for work and on time is

Jobs 101. That is why many on the hill fear losing an election, they have no skills other than being mean, hateful and selfish.

[Vinca]

37. Wonder how many of his constituents get to skip work to be with the wife?

[riversedge]

41. "The Democrats are cowards for hiding and not showing up to work." says the hypocrite Cawthorn......

During the pandemic in July 2020, Cawthorn chided Democrats, tweeting, "Leaders show up no matter how uncertain the times are. The Democrats are cowards for hiding and not showing up to work. I guess we can label them as 'Nonessential personnel'?"
