Madison Cawthorn Committed the One Unforgivable Sin of Politics

[Zorro]

The ingredients are there for an upset.

If the worst thing Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) did this month was call Ukraine’s President “a thug,” or get caught speeding multiple times with a revoked license, or accuse Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being an alcoholic, the 26-year-old MAGA-influencer would probably be just fine in his re-election bid.

But Cawthorn did something far worse, at least for his own political prospects, and it may cost him his seat: He left his constituents—and then was forced to return to them, hat in hand, after the courts predictably struck down the state’s new map, and eliminated the district he left to run in, on Feb. 23.

The about-face opened up a more damaging line of attack than anything Cawthorn has said or done. It showed, at least briefly, that he was less interested in representing the voters who first elected him than he was in just being in Congress.

The numerous candidates challenging Cawthorn in the GOP primary, slated for May, do not intend to let voters in North Carolina’s 11th District forget it.

Hopefully this little Nazi will lose in this upcoming primary election.

1. Was anyone who voted for him under the delusion he gave a shit about constituents?

[blm]

2. There's a GOP primary debate Saturday for that seat.

Expect his opponents to be merciless.

3. I would like to watch that!

I hope they are vicious!

6. Careful

He will have a big stash of guns in his wheel chair. Will the howling monkeys, Bimbo Boebert and Trailer Queen, be there to shout for their little boy toy?

11. And also his chewing toobaccy and red spitting' cup.

14. Most of my college

Students dipped Baccy products. Before campus made it not legal in class. That stopped nothing. Red cups would have been welcomed. The sickest part of their habit was clear soft drink bottles. They would spit in em all day and fill em up, then leave them in classrooms, in lab room drawers and on vans we would transport them in for field labs. The best part of retirement, I have not seen one damn bottle full of spit. A couple times I would sit a clear bottle half full of a green slimy mixture I created in lab, on my lecture podium, and keep acting like I was blowing my runny nose in it during cold season. Childish, yea, but payback for cleaning up their crap. One all day field trip, a group shared a litter bottle, fill it up, spilled it on seats and floors of the van. Guess who had to clean that up.
God bless retirement. Ya think Cawthorn leaves his spit bottles in congress halls?

[vanlassie]

15. Probably. I will never get over seeing him spitting into a cup at the podium in Congress.

🤮

16. Hi.. is there any chance for a

Dem to win in District 11?

Mahalo!
💙💛

17. Best odds would be if Cawthorn is the Rep candidate.

There are growing numbers of Republicans here who can’t stand him and are embarrassed he represents this area. Other elected Reps hate his guts.

[Cha]

18. Thanks.. we know the feeling.

💙💛

4. There is no bottom for them.

It’s a race who can be the most bottomest.
It’s a badge they wear proudly.
And what their constituents require.

5. It seems the gop field

of candidates gets more and more evil. That cawthorn is an absolute piece of garbage. Are we sure the person replacing him wouldn't be worse?

That is what constantly worries me.

7. That dickwad needs to GO. nt

8. He's a tough guy. He can handle it. He beats up rotted trees.

He's a tough guy. He can handle it. He beats up rotted trees.

Wonder if Trump will endorse him.

9. It's like he went to Cancun

[peppertree]

10. Them's what you'd call "qualifications" in the Repugverse though

Their primaries have basically become one-up contests, with the most outlandish brain farts often determining the winner (the only other factor being money).

12. I have wondered if Madison was a bully in grade school and beyond?

[NHvet]

13. He was homeschooled,

hence his problems with playing well with others. His one semester in college, before dropping out, those that knew him categorized him as a sexual predator and bully, so there's that.
