Rep. Madison Cawthorn promotes false election claims, warns of 'bloodshed' if fraud occurs in future

WASHINGTON — Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., on Sunday promoted false claims about election fraud and warned that there could be “bloodshed” over any future elections Republicans consider to be rigged.

“The things that we are wanting to fight for, it doesn’t matter if our votes don’t count,” he said at the Macon County Republican Party headquarters in Franklin, North Carolina. “Because, you know, if our election systems continue to be rigged, and continue to be stolen, then it’s going to lead to one place, and it’s bloodshed.”

Cawthorn’s spokesman, Luke Ball, said Tuesday in a statement that the lawmaker was advocating against violence.

“In his comments, Congressman Cawthorn is clearly advocating for violence not to occur over election integrity questions," Ball said. "He fears others would erroneously choose that route and strongly states that election integrity issues should be resolved peacefully and never through violence.”

and that Dan Forest was the real winner.

He says it at the same time he’s talking about taking up arms.

Media needs to force answers out of this demagogue.

That's what this is allllllll about.

This one annoys me to no end. He's cunning. From a ruby red district so he can say "F all of ya" and get away it. He's young and from the fame, look at me, me, me generation. Trump protege all the way. All hat no cattle.
