'He's Gone from Awful to Alarming': N.C. Newspaper Demands GOP Censure Madison Cawthorn

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A leading North Carolina newspaper has called for Republicans to join with Democrats to censure Representative Madison Cawthorn after he made controversial "bloodshed" remarks earlier this week.

During a Republican event in North Carolina on Sunday, Cawthorn suggested there would be "bloodshed" if elections continue to be "rigged" in the U.S.—promoting former President Donald Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 election was "stolen" in favor of President Joe Biden. Cawthorn said that he would not want "to pick up arms against a fellow American," but suggested this could be necessary if Trump's baseless election concerns weren't addressed.

In a Wednesday opinion article, the editorial board of The Charlotte Observer—which has the second-largest circulation of any newspaper in the Carolinas—blasted Cawthorn, who represents North Carolina. The newspaper's editorial team wrote that the GOP congressman's actions have "moved from awful to alarming."

"Cawthorn has veered from awful to even more alarming. It's time to pay attention again," they wrote.

2. Cawthorn told his armed thugs that Gov Cooper rigged the vote

and stole the election from Dan Forest. In the same space of time he made his bloodshed remarks.

Cawthorn drew a target on Gov Cooper and Fvcking broadcast media skips over that very real danger. Broadcast media refuses to tell whole story and GovCooper is in immediate danger from these armed nutcases.

3. I wonder what would have happen if Ilhan Omar made the same comments?

Never mind, we all know what would have happened.

4. Good rhetorical question...

She has never made anything close to those remarks and yet she is painted as the most dangerous person in Congress, often from both sides.

If she even hinted at anything Cawthorn, Boebert, or Greene has said directly, she'd have been shipped to GITMO.

6. What the hell

Is it with assholes in Wheelchairs? Are those two trying to blame their condition on the world and exact revenge. Cawthorn caused his own, Abbott made a shit load of cash from his.

7. This is who the republicans are now

They actively recruit and fund people like Margie, Boebert and Cawthorn. It's amazing to me that some still believe this is a sane party and Cawthorn is some sort of outlier.
