McCarthy will speak to Madison Cawthorn after comment about drug-fuelled orgies in DC

[AZProgressive]

House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has said that he will speak to North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn about his comments that he’s been invited to orgies in Washington, DC and that he has seen people do cocaine.

The expected reprimand comes following expressions of frustration from Republicans at Mr Cawthorn’s comments.

(Snip)

Politico reported that Mr Womack stood up, noting that he almost never stands to speak, and said that he’s now getting questions about which members are taking part in orgies and doing illegal drugs. Mr Cawthorn was not present.

Mr Womack said that many legislators go to bed at 9pm and still use flip phones and fax machines.He added that it was unfair to generalise about members in the way Mr Cawthorn did.

1. If the thought of GOP pols at an orgy doesn't creep you out

...you're tougher than I am.

[Dave Bowman]

11. Yuck, now I'm stuck with that image in my brain.

[dchill]

2. My opinion is that flip phones and fax machines...

...are not mutually exclusive of drug-fueled orgies.

3. McCarthy is likely upset because...

...he wasn't invited!

[grumpyduck]

5. Darn, you beat me to it!

[JoeOtterbein]

9. Ha!

I was afraid you were going to beat me to it!

(LOL)

[Hassin Bin Sober]

4. He wants to know how he can get in on that shit!

[Ziggysmom]

6. I didn't know what he was referring to as a "Key Bump" of cocaine. Had to Google it for

crying out loud. Apparently the boy knows the drug lingo better than me. Hmmmmmmm?

[Boomerproud]

7. "The expected reprimand ". You betcha.

What Womack reportedly said (whoever he is) was just as unbelievable. Cocktail parties full of donors don't end at 9pm.

[viva la]

12. Also: "I almost never stand to speak in this chamber..."

That is, he just shows up to collect his pay check.

8. Sounds like a good time to me

Well, minus the drugs. It’s funny coming from the republicans who claim “family values”, but otherwise, I could care less if my elected officials were orgying it up, so long as they weren’t in a position where they could be blackmailed (which wouldn’t be the case if everyone was open about it).

10. This guy obviously does not belong in the House.

He also recently call Zelenskyy as thug. He's out of control and should expelled.

[relayerbob]

13. He just wants to know where they are being held

[JHB]

14. "Can you get me an invite too?"

[Siwsan]

15. I'd try to imagine who he's talking about, but that's the thing of nightmares.

[Tanuki]

16. "No leaks...this is how we know we're a real family here."

McCarthy will probably pass along the advice Paul Ryan gave him years ago.
