“This is unacceptable,” McCarthy told reporters after the meeting, in which he admonished Cawthorn and told the young lawmaker (who once posted a video of himself beating up a tree) that he had lost his trust. But wait, we’re not done!

Longtime GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone, who has a friendly history with orgies, came in with a last-second plot twist. On the right-wing social media platform Gab, Stone wrote, “Congressman Madison Cawthorn just told me [he] has NOT retracted his claims about drug-fueled orgies among D.C. elites.”

Who should we believe? Who cares? It’s a mortifying episode for the Republican Party, but unlike so many other outrageous sins committed by GOP members, the leaders are actually mortified this time!

The alleged illicit sex and drugs are not the main reason Cawthorn earned the vocal wrath of his Republican colleagues—such as Sen. Richard Burr, who called Cawthorn an “embarrassment at times” and Sen. Thom Tillis, who said the youngster has “not done much for his House district.” As if to prove their disdain, Burr and Tillis, North Carolina’s two most powerful Republicans, appeared at a fundraiser for Cawthorn’s primary opponent state Sen. Chuck Edwards last week.

1. Well, now we know why his marriage broke up

"Hey, let's snort coke and go to an orgy!"

[sarcasmo]

2. First rule about the Orgy, don't talk about the Orgy.

[Cha]

3. Beyond the pale!

💙💛

[SoonerPride]

4. He broke the cardinal rule of republicans.

Never tell the truth.

[wnylib]

18. But I keep wondering WHY?

What does he get out of turning against his colleagues?

[SoonerPride]

19. He's a little snitch

[wnylib]

21. I think there must be more to it than that,

considering that he makes enemies of all of them by talking.

Why now? Why not before?

[Midnight Writer]

5. Since he has been speaking to Roger Stone, Madison probably has been invited to a drug-fueled orgy.

I picture Stone's wife doing "key bumps" off Madison's lap while Stone films it.

8. OMFG

STOP IT USONIAN, YER KILLING ME

[usonian]

9. I don't make this stuff up, you know!

Not yet, anyway. It's still March 31 here.

I just grab weird shit off the internet.

[RussBLib]

23. citizens want to know!

who invited Cawthorn?
who was snorting coke?
were the wives of Congress members there?
were prostitutes employed?
were the women there sexually trafficked?
who else was in attendance?

Let's blow the roof off of these hypocrites!

If any Dems were there, they should be outed too.

If it's just sex between consenting adults, that's one thing, and it's ok, but mix in illegal drugs and we have a big-time scandal that Dems need to push, hard.

11. Roger Stone is notorious swinger/sex club entrepreneur (back in the day)

I would believe him before that fake Christian Kevin McCarthy. Rog has laid out quite a few lines for his asshole Republican buddies over the years, not even to mention the babes--literally.

[wnylib]

20. So why is Jones talking about it now?

What's in it for him to publicly talk about his customers?

[Marcuse]

12. Blackmail potential must be investigated by the FBI.

[sop]

27. Russians were likely "hosting" these GOP get-togethers behind the scenes, getting kompromat.

[UTUSN]

13. They're not embarrassed, just scurrying for cover in being exposed.

[mahina]

14. We all need to know who recruited him from the Chick-fil-A counter

And supported his run and win against the very qualified vet Moe Brooks (D). This didn’t happen all by itself. I’m very curious how the far right ended up with three completely unprepared flamethrowers like MTG , Bobert and this Jackass.

[Efilroft Sul]

15. Wait, wait, I have a question.

You’re telling me that the same political party that lied us into Iraq, cozied up to a Russian dictator, and is up to its eyeballs in overthrowing the government now suddenly finds itself embarrassed by a wheelchair-bound gimp who fantasizes about orgies but couldn’t get laid in a whorehouse? Get the fuck outta here.

[IronLionZion]

16. Freepers are blaming his youth and inexperience

since a wiser Republican would know to keep his mouth shut about the drugs and orgies.

[OverBurn]

17. Unless we can flip his seat blue, I hope he stays, let the embarrassment continue.

[Permanut]

22. I think a sternly worded letter will resolve the issue..

[Leith]

25. I'm sure he learned his lesson

Just ask Susan Collins.

[SpankMe]

24. Cawthorn is the classic frat boy douche bag

I expect gay porn with him in it to be leaked in the run-up to his next election.

[TeamProg]

26. Nope, the GQP is still shameless. n/t
