"SNIP......

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) “has been charged for the second time in the past five years with driving on a revoked license, a misdemeanor that carries up to 20 days in jail,” the Asheville Citizen Times reports.

“Along with the misdemeanor, Cawthorn is facing two pending citations for speeding.”

1. Blame Biden of course

[Poiuyt]

29. Yes, this wouldn't have happened if Biden hadn't been such a weak leader.

[sakabatou]

2. He doesn't doesn't give a shit about breaking laws he himself broke

[TheBlackAdder]

47. He's gonna walk.

[nolabear]

50. Dammit, you led me down an evil path...

[iscooterliberally]

55. OMG. I'm going to be laughing about this for the rest of the day.

[Achilleaze]

3. He's been busy digging into Hilary's emails

What a Republican this scofflaw assclown is.

[UTUSN]

4. K&R

[Journeyman]

5. You'd think a guy whose life was upended in an automobile accident would . . .

be exceedingly cautious in all regards about moving vehicles.

But then, that presupposes he has a well-functioning brain and a normal share of empathy . . .

[FailureToCommunicate]

34. All true.

[DENVERPOPS]

40. Sounds like possible good reason

for a BAC.....?????? Just saying...........

They might possibly be a "dry" state?????, but that doesn't stop anyone in reality.........

[patphil]

6. Why would he adhere to the law when he doesn't expect to suffer consequences when he doesn't?

Until he does, he will continue to arrogantly flaunt the law.

[littlemissmartypants]

7. I'd love to see the bodycam footage ...

speeding: 89 mph in a 65-mph zone in Buncombe County on Oct. 18 and 87 mph in a 70-mph zone in Polk County on Jan. 8.

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. He was probably an arrogant prick

like that asshole in Floriduh. I'd like to see that video too.

[Traildogbob]

11. "Do you know who I am"

Officer, “yea I sure do, you are the little prick that cheered on DC police being beaten and support treasonous take over of the country I served. Is there an illegal gun in the vehicle.”

[TeamProg]

21. +1

[FailureToCommunicate]

35. +1

[Thtwudbeme]

16. Didn't learn too much from being in a wreck

Eh

[Phoenix61]

37. I have a friend who is an attorney.

His advice is “Never break two laws at the same time.”

[Walleye]

52. When we were smoking weed in the car we used to say,never break the law when you're breaking the law

[Phoenix61]

53. +1,000nt

[sheilahi]

59. weed side effect

And then he said "I love you man".

[BlueJac]

9. LMAO, what a jerk!

[calimary]

49. He IS a jerk.

Thinks he’s some kind of hotshot, but he’s just another jerk.

[sop]

10. For Republicans, being required to follow the law is evidence we live under tyranny.

[drmeow]

26. Only when Republicans are required to follow the law.

Democrats being required to follow the law means everything is OK. Even the same laws.

[Alan_Wells]

12. Law and Order

Equal justice for everyone, even politicians.

[panader0]

30. Welcome to DU.

[niyad]

57. Welcome to our DU family.

[NewHendoLib]

13. A very fine person

[bucolic_frolic]

14. He is a danger to society and the public at large.

[Demovictory9]

51. he is

[young_at_heart]

15. Having this poor excuse for a human being as my NC rep

makes me want to throw up.....and the guy before him, Meadows, was no picnic either. Asheville, where I live is very progressive and Democratic but all the small counties surrounding us are solid Republican. The people in those counties will NEVER vote for a Democrat and so we get the very bottom of the barrel!

[LittleGirl]

17. I'm so sorry. Abhorrent behavior. eom

[MyMission]

27. Our district elected him, but he's not my rep

I refuse to call him my representative, he doesn't represent me. It makes me sick too.

And I live south of Asheville, where 40% will vote against him. Maybe with the redistricting we can elect a Democrat. I feel and share your frustration.

[lame54]

18. Traffic School him up

[Kingofalldems]

19. We need the police bodycam of this.

Was he arrested and put in the back of a police cruiser?

[SouthBayDem]

44. He wanted to fund the police, he got it.

Cawthorn has frequently tweeted in favor of funding police departments. On July 14, he even tweeted: "Crime is out of control."

[TeamProg]

20. Irresponsible at pretty much EVERYTHING!

[gratuitous]

22. What part of "illegal" doesn't Madison understand?

Sounds like an incorrigible recidivist to me. Should be locked up for the good of society.

[COL Mustard]

42. He's a Congressboy

And not a very good one. But he thinks laws are for you and me, not for him.

[Mr. Ected]

23. One day he'll launch through the window and nary a tear will be shed

God forbid he hurts someone else in the process though.

[keithbvadu2]

33. Or he will hurt another tree

[DBoon]

43. He will launch out the windo and hit a cow

The cow will be injured

He will be killed

Poor cow

[ShazzieB]

24. Driving on a REVOKED license?

So he didn’t just "forget" to renew it! He did something serious enough to cause his license to be revoked. I wonder what that was? Would blowing off those two speeding tickets be sufficient, or was there more?

This article needs more details!

[Captain Zero]

25. CAN'T. FOLLOW. RULES

Don't surprise me none.

[Totally Tunsie]

28. Wonder why and how long ago his license was revoked.

"second time in the past five years" indicates the revocation was some time ago. What would cause him to lose his license for such a long period of time?

He really is an entitled a**hole, isn't he?

[Salviati]

31. If I had to guess...

... I'd guess his licence was revoked for multiple instances of excessive speeding, and that he's in for another 6 month suspension due to these two new citations. (actually, make that a year long suspension, for driving with a suspended license)

https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/license-id/license-suspension/Pages/speeding.aspx

He should definitely do the 20 days in jail, since just revoking his license doesn't seem to be working to stop the behavior, at least if we had judges worth their salt.

[jmowreader]

32. Let me guess...

When the police search his private vessel they will find:

One Black’s Law Dictionary
One framed copy of 18 USC 31
A printout of dicta from a bunch of court cases he claims say you need no driver’s license
A stack of blank UCC-1 forms and 1099-MISC forms
Three webcams all set to live streaming

I feel sorry for everyone in NC who didn’t vote for Madison el Bey the Moorish Sovereign Citizen. Everyone who did vote for him deserves never ending scorn.

[ffr]

36. Was he driving his mother's car?

While talking on a phone provided by his mommy?

Does his mommy dress him too? Just curious.

[MissMillie]

38. nothing will happen to him

that's the way the world works, rich, white people w/ power rarely suffer consequences.

[IcyPeas]

39. Remember last year he tried to board a plane with a gun!

Madison Cawthorn admits he "erroneously" tried to bring gun onto plane

Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) tried to bring his Glock onto an airplane in February — an event that his campaign chalks up to an accident.

"The incident was first revealed in audio obtained by FireMadison.com, a group trying to drive the far-right Cawthorn from the halls of Congress," reported Justin Rohrlich. "But according to the 25-year-old legislator's spokesman, the entire dustup was just a simple mistake. 'Five months ago, while boarding a flight, Rep. Cawthorn erroneously stowed a firearm in his carry-on (that often doubles as a range bag) instead of his checked bag,' Cawthorn spokesman Micah Bock said in a statement.

How many chances has this little twerp been given?

[COL Mustard]

41. LOCK HIM UP!!!

Lock his sorry azz in the clink for a while.

[kairos12]

45. Too busy boxing trees to get his license renewed.

[BlueIdaho]

46. Throw his ass in the pokey.

Tack a couple of years on his driving suspension. The little shit.

[Blue Owl]

48. Was he cleaning his gun while driving again?

[sellitman]

54. But her emails!!!

🙄

[Enoki33]

56. Typical gop thug trying desperately to cover his

own thuggery.

[The Jungle 1]

58. He as stupid a boobert

"He was my brother, my best friend. And he leaves me in a car to die in a fiery tomb," Cawthorn said of the accident. "He runs to safety deep in the woods and just leaves me in a burning car as the flames start to lick my legs and curl up and burn my left side." Cawthorn also claimed he was pronounced dead at the scene, but thanks to "adrenaline or divine intervention, I definitely believe it's the latter, I had a deep inhale of breath." Cawthorn quote
Problem is the whole statement is a lie. His "friend" did pull him out. What kind of maggot lies about that?

[sheilahi]

60. last resort

Guess now he has to find out if his wheelchair has a street permit.

[MiHale]

61. Remember Cawthorn is a thug... his words but no Ukrainian name...

So I substituted with his.
