I would say his penmanship is like a 7-year-old but my 7-years-old’s penmanship is better

Following altercations with Rep. McKinley and his staff over mistakenly having been put on a bill, Rep. Madison Cawthorn wrote letters in an attempt to smooth things over.

1. Socialist takeover? What does that mean, congressman?

[paleotn]

9. Ask him a question like that....

and all you'll get is a vacuous look and more bumper sticker snark. It's all his neurons can manage. I've tried it on others of his kind to no great effect.

2. Can't imagine it's real (apart from the words maybe I'd buy that), but it is funny (nt)

[Nevilledog]

4. It's real. I've seen his writing before.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

7. Are you f***ing kidding me? He actually sent that to another congressman?

OMFG ...

[Nevilledog]

12. I KNOW!

[ZonkerHarris]

20. Seriously?

[paleotn]

3. Christian home skulin' at it's finest.

And a perfect example of the moron party. Idiots unite!

[TexasTowelie]

5. Didn't he suffer a brain injury from the auto accident that left him paralyzed?

I don't know if that interfered with his penmanship, but I'm inclined to overlook it. It is fair game to criticize him for his political and social views, but commenting on his penmanship is petty.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

10. The penmanship is ancillary to ..

a) the text/content in general, and
b) deciding it's appropriate to hand-write it, knowing that his penmanship is elementary-school level (whatever the cause of that may be).

14. Icy Peas found another one....👇

[LiberalFighter]

6. I reviewed his bio. He has several strikes against him.

First, he was homeschooled which probably explains his poor penmanship.

Second, his disability is his fault. His feet were on the dashboard while his buddy was driving. The insurance company should have done more to fight his suit.

Third and beyond. He is a liar. Lied about the crash and lied about his acceptance to the Naval Academy.

He got mostly D grades in college.

A statement on Wikipedia has him saying the accident made him less intelligent with reading and studying more difficult for him. Then why the hell is he in Congress? Oh! That must be the standard for GQP.

[paleotn]

11. Why is he in Congress?

Like MTG, they're the best their local Republicans have to offer. Top of the line models in the party of morons.

[Progressive Jones]

24. The likes of Cawthorn and MTG come from safe GOP districts. Even the GOP

wouldn't be dumb enough to back this kind of human garbage in any competitive district. A meth head pedophile with an R behind their name could win in some places.

8. Here's a second one...

13. Jesus....that's painful.

[crickets]

19. My god, it is real. That's... wow.

Whether his horrible penmanship is due to his accident or not, he really should look into typing his letters or having someone else write them for him. Oof.

[smirkymonkey]

15. OMG, it's worse than mine!

Of course, I would never make the mistake of sending a hand written note with such atrocious handwriting. Seriously, I think my little nieces and nephews have better penmanship.

[Skittles]

16. he writes like someone who never learned to write in cursive

yup

[Claire Oh Nette]

22. This.....

He can't write in cursive, and his penmanship is indicative of slow learning and cognitive ability. He"s a third grader..

[BootinUp]

17. Send it to the Smithsonian! Important history

We will make our descendants laugh their fannies off.

[msongs]

18. some people go a long way on their pretty boy status and charm nt

[roamer65]

21. I hate him because of his gutter RW politics.

He could have the best handwriting ever seen and I would still hate him.

[NickB79]

25. I'm going to decline to bash him for this

He's writing in complete, grammatically coherent sentences, using properly spelled words, and at a fairly high reading level.

Can I write far more attractively? Absolutely. But given the abysmal state of education today, this is above average. I have TWO lab techs under me, both with bachelor's degrees in biochemistry, who's handwriting is almost unreadable. We had to literally change some of our lab practices to accommodate them, printing typed labels for EVERYTHING instead of just writing on samples like we've done for 20 yr.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

26. I don't give a shit about his handwriting, but his attitude is weird af.
