A North Carolina newspaper's editorial board on Sunday slammed state Representative Madison Cawthorn and the state's GOP for embracing extremism.
Cawthorn, who represents a western district of the state, most recently faced criticism for his remarks on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but has been a divisive figure within the GOP since his 2020 election and has long faced criticism for his stances.
The Durham Herald-Sun editorial called out the congressman, as well as North Carolina's Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who has been previously condemned for his use of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.
"In so many respects, they define what the North Carolina Republican Party has become: a party of extremism. A party that, despite everything, has stood by former President Donald Trump," the editorial reads.
The editorial chastised the state party for not doing more to condemn controversial statements by the two lawmakers, while dismissing anonymous reports that some Republicans are silently displeased with Cawthorn as "too late to reclaim the moral high ground."
