House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pledged to speak to Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) about his allegation that people in Washington, D.C., have invited him to orgies and done cocaine in front of him after Republican members expressed frustration with the comments.
Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) stood up in a House Republican Conference meeting on Tuesday to address the comment, according to a source in the room. Other members also expressed that they were upset at Cawthorn's allegations.
In response, McCarthy said that he would speak to Cawthorn about the racy remarks. Politico first reported the exchange.
Cawthorn's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He was not in attendance at the conference meeting.

If you continue to blab about these events, we will start providing proof to the press that they really happened. If the press starts to actually believe these stories, despite them coming from a Republican, then we're all screwed, so STFU or else let us in on the fun. Understood? I'm not gonna warn you again."

(14,674 posts)He needs their support to take his seat back due to redistricting, but no republican will help him.
So it's ok, here is the pin, you want the rest of the grenade or do I get some help?

(44,996 posts)They probably rhyme with Goetz and Jordan. Which, though totally gross to imagine, are probably the only two slimeballs who'd invite Cawthorn to their circlejerk.

So whose parties is he being invited/going to, hmm...?
Is the media capable of connecting the dots between one of their favorite both-siderism talking points and a much juicier and more substantial story than this mere soundbite and the reaction to it?
