Democratic Combat Vet Running Against Madison Cawthorn Calls Him A Traitor
Josh Remillard, a combat veteran and Democrat running against Rep. Madison Cawthorn, called insurrection inciter a traitor.

Remillard said:

I’m sick of politicians who send us to war and don’t take care of us when we come home. And I’m sick of people like Madison Cawthorn who betray the democracy that I fought to defend and that my friend Brice died for. Madison Cawthorn is a traitor, and I’m the guy to get him out of Congress.

Look at what Madison Cawthorn has done. He incited violence and hate by encouraging insurrectionists, admiring Hitler, and calling for ‘bloodshed,’ and now we have Swastika- and machete-bearing criminals at the Capitol and a second rally this week. This is not a coincidence, and he’s got to go.

Rep. Cawthorn is planning another attack on the Capitol. The freshman congressman is one of Trump’s most loyal devotees and betrayers of democracy.

Josh Remillard is one of a number of Democrats who are vying to face Cawthorn next year.

Remillard lived in foster care, was adopted by his grandparents, and then served his country in Iraq and Afghanistan.

His patriotism and willingness to defend his country has already been proven in war, and if he becomes the Democratic nominee, he will offer voters in North Carolina’s 11th District the choice between a combat vet and a domestic terrorist.

1. Man, the contrast between this guy and Cawthorn is just blindingly stark.

[cayugafalls]

2. Wow, that was powerful.

Madison Coward, we're coming for you!

[3catwoman3]

3. Superb ad. Best of luck to Mr. Remillard.

Is it just me, or does Cawthorn’s garb on Jan 6th, shown briefly in the segment, look rather Nazi-esque?

[toasty]

10. Righto...

Exactly what caught my eye

[flying_wahini]

11. Not your imagination, I think it was deliberate.

Those lapels on that jacket and the metallic buttons?!? It was not a mistake.

[ShazzieB]

49. YES!

It's downright creepy how Nazi-esque he looks there!

[C Moon]

4. Beautiful! This needs to be said more and more to more and more.

Because it’s the truth.
It’s not an exaggeration.
McConnell, trump included.

[New Haven]

5. the headline does not say where

[EYESORE 9001]

13. It's in the text of the OP

North Carolina’s 11th District.

[Picaro]

6. wish i could vote for Josh

This guy is legit. Wish I could vote for him. But I can give him money. And I will.

[joetheman]

7. Damn, that's a great ad. It should be shown all over the country. nt

[keithbvadu2]

8. Watch out for Cawthorn. He's tough. He beats up rotted trees.

Watch out for Cawthorn. He's tough. He beats up rotted trees.

[usaf-vet]

14. How about wheelchair bully Gov Abbott of TX he loves to bully a woman's right to choose.

[monkeyman1]

60. take him to a boat dock with a bunch of piss off people & watch him cry & shit himself !

[usaf-vet]

9. If I lived in NC he would get my vote. Sadly I don't but he will certainly get some of my money.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. works for me. I look forward to hearing more of his history and vision.

[PortTack]

15. Cawthorn won by a very narrow margin...sure hope this guy takes him down!

[Marius25]

17. I don't think his win margin was very narrow.

[FBaggins]

32. He won by double digits

It was a comparatively narrow win for how red that district is (he should have won by several more points)... but it was in no sense narrow enough to predict a switch.

And Josh Remillard is not a new candidate. He ran for the local state house district last year - and lost by 21 points.

Having said that. He's potentially the "right" person for this race. It's a "sacrificial lamb" district that isn't really winnable unless the incumbent falls on his face with some closet skeleton. If that happens, you still need a plausible candidate who is the mirror of the damaged goods in the seat.

[lagomorph777]

16. Duct-tape Cawthorne to Trump and Shameful Shaman.

[Pepsidog]

18. Cawthorn is right up there with the worst of them and must go.

[niyad]

23. I would say "down there".

[Pepsidog]

27. That's more accurate. He is male version of Sarah Palin.He literally knows nothing. Just plain dumb.

[ShazzieB]

48. Just as much dumb as Palin and a lot more malice.

And that's without even getting into the nazi crap. *gag*

[Wounded Bear]

19. K & R...for visibility...great ad video...

[turbinetree]

20. Donation...for Josh Remillard

[Mickju]

31. Thanks

Just donated

[turbinetree]

56. Your welcome....................

[onetexan]

59. He gets my $. Good man, great patriot. He w be a great politician we need in congress.

[liberalla]

21. Wow, I like this guy! Quite impressive. He's got a good story/resume... It would be so sweet to

kick Cawthorne to the curb!

Let's go!

[niyad]

22. That is one powerful ad!

[RicROC]

24. Another great Dem who is not afraid to say the word 'traitor'

Jan6 was not a riot or insurrection, it was a coup attempt by domestic terrorists.

The Gavin Newson/Calif. recall is another form of attempted coup (of state government).

The Impeachment of Bill Clinton....attempted coup.

SCOTUS involvement in Bush v Gore.....successful coup.

Reagan's deal with Iran before the Jimmy Carter/Reagan Election....successful coup.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

41. Nixon sabotage of LBJ peace talks in Vietnam

Traitor. Successful. Thousands more dead soldiers before war’s end.

[garybeck]

25. Wow.

This is exactly how we beat the refucklicans

[redstatebluegirl]

26. Just sent him some money.

[colorado_ufo]

28. Wow! What an ad and

what a man! Got my support.

[RicROC]

[peggysue2]

30. Right approach, too

Call these suckers out for what they are: seditionists, traitors. The press won't do it; they'd rather wrap everything in their 'objective' gauze and/or slide into bothsiderism.

There are not two sides to this fight.

You either support the continuation of our democratic Republic or you don't. You either demand accountability from the insurrectionists (and their supporters including Trump and his apologists) on January 6th or you don't. You're either on the side of science and rationality or you're not.

The list goes on and on. The choice is clear, stark.

Trump and his acolytes have poisoned the minds of what remains of the GOP. That poison needs to be fully acknowledged, then dealt with accordingly.

As in, they need to lose everywhere.

[UpInArms]

33. I hope he wins

He certainly has the personal strength to take them all on.

[Native]

34. I reside in Florida, but I gladly donated to him @ https://www.joshremillard.com/

I hope he gets all the money he needs to send Cawthorn packing.

[bahboo]

35. that's how you do it....

punch that fucker right in the face, then kick him when he's down...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. OK! I donated too. I am proud to help Josh beat Cawthorn. Let's do this! n/t

[brooklynite]

38. Are you donating to the six other Democratic candidates?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. Probably not. I have to be choosy, unfortunately.

[brooklynite]

37. Unless NC changes the district lines, Cawthorn will win re-election

His constituents like his behavior.

[MyMission]

63. Unfortunately I agree with you

I want to believe we can get rid of him, but this is a red district and cawthorn is a local yokel.

I was raised in Brooklyn, but have lived in the 11th district of NC for almost 20 years, and my family moved here in the 1980's. Dad was a rethug and felt this was the place for him! I've seen Dems try and try again. Heath shuler, a sports hero, was the last Dem congressman here.

If Moe Davis (an air force veteran) couldn't beat cawthorn, I doubt Josh will be able to.
Moe was from Shelby, which is in western NC but part of district 10. He attended a local college. Cawthorn is from this area. Josh was raised in Wilmington, a long way from these mountains.

Locals will support a local boy. It's not what you know, it's where you're family is from.

[Sogo]

39. "....choice between a combat vet and a domestic terrorist."

I hope he hammers this home in his ads.

[traitorsgalore]

42. Excellent!

Trying to violently overthrow your own government is the definition of treason.

[TeamProg]

43. Cawthorn is a wanna-be Nazi, he just doesn't have the courage to come out and fully embrace

the Nazi Party.

One day, he will. When his chips are down, he'll throw the table.

[3catwoman3]

45. In my comment (#3 above), I said that I think the coat he was wearing...

...in the video clip had a Nazi uniform look about it. Look at 1:12 in the clip.

[TeamProg]

51. And the gloves! n/t

[Cha]

44. KR!

[Mr. Ected]

46. No more playing nice

We've conducted ourselves in the manner in which we would want to be treated. The opposition is slime and makes no bones about it.

Call a slime a slime this time.

[Bristlecone]

47. I think this guy is going to get a donation from me. Right now

[Ruby the Liberal]

50. Wow - what an incredible launch video!

Go get 'em, Josh.

[trof]

52. $25, tomorrow.

Do it.
$1, $5, $10...whatever you can spare.
This guy sounds like the real deal.

[ecstatic]

55. I will donate too. nt

[trof]

53. Didn't wait until tomorrow. Link to donate:

https://www.joshremillard.com/

[ecstatic]

54. I really hope he succeeds because I believe that type of bluntness is really needed

It's really refreshing, actually. I'm sick of Democrats sounding weak and taking 20 minutes to answer yes or no questions.

[CRK7376]

57. I know that ruck well!

Thank you Mr. Remillard. This Afghan vet wishes you the best against Cawthorn. I just wish you were running against Virginia Foxx up in my Winston-Salem district. Get rid of these cowards!

[GoodRaisin]

58. Bookmarked.

Maybe best political ad I have ever seen.

[kentuck]

61. The simplest slogan, that might defeat a bunch of these Sedition Coalition.

"Traitor".

Keep it simple. No need to complicate matters.

[NNadir]

62. This is a great ad, but one wonders if a district that voted a lying traitor...

...to Congress can elect a patriot.

I don't want to be a downer, but...
