'When we take the majority back in 2022, I'll make sure consequences are doled out,' said Rep. Madison Cawthorn.

Republicans are outraged that Democrats are governing by majority rule in the House. In retaliation, they are vowing to do the same things they now decry as unprecedented and wrong.

"Never in the history of our country has a Speaker acted like such an authoritarian," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted on Thursday.

He was upset that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had rejected his request to appoint Republican Reps. Jim Banks (IN) and Jim Jordan (OH) to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. Both men voted to overturn the 2020 election results and pushed the lie that President Joe Biden only won because the election was stolen.

And you just gave your opponent sound bites why you are unqualified.

3. Local GOP hates this clown

He's uneducated, and his whole purpose is to attention whore and fund raise off the rubes. He won't sit for a town hall with his own district. He hasn't paid property taxes on his house in Hendersonville. He is dumber than a box of used hair.

The local GOP has an Anybody but Cawthorn Billboard up.

He won't be doing anything in 2022.

2. Predictably, little Maddie doesn't know his history

It's not even a case of selective amnesia. He literally doesn't know.
