'Pretty gross but also very stupid': Madison Cawthorn blasted for bill blocking aid to Ukraine over Mexico border

Republican Congressmen Madison Cawthorn (NC) and Matt Rosendale (MT) are being blasted for bills they introduced as it became clear Russian President Vladimir Putin was intent on waging war against Ukraine. The bills, as GovTrack explains, "ban aid to Ukraine until Mexico border is secured."

Cawthorn's extremism has grown in the 14 months he's been a U.S. Congressman, but he may be best known for his trip to Hitler's vacation home, the Eagle’s Nest in Bavaria, when he was still a GOP candidate. On Instagram Cawthorn "referred to Hitler as 'the Fuhrer,'" which the Times of Israel says is a term of reverence, "and said the spot was on his 'bucket list.'"

According to GovTrack Cawthorn's bill "mandates that the number of Armed Force members deployed" to Ukraine "must be less than the number deployed to the Mexican border."

Tuesday evening Cawthorn, who has become one of the faces representing House Republicans (Rosendale is fairly unknown), was the target of outrage after his bill was revealed.

1. Good grief!!!

This is a man, who is supposedly educated. When did he fall in live with Hitler? AS a young boy, did a parent tell him that he was useless and would never amount to anything? Then he fell in love with Hitler, the strong man? Guess he didn't read to the end of the story, where Hitler blows his brains out, and Berlin is reduced to rubble.

5. Not educated

Home-schooled
Dropped-out after all-D's in first semester at Patrick Henry College in Virginia
Ever heard of PHC?
Yeah. Me neither. Current enrollment: 304.
Cawthorn said if you plan to be an engineer, doctor, lawyer then go to college
If not, then drop out because college is a "scam."

29. He has his PHD in Abject stupidity. n/t

[AZLD4Candidate]

31. His PhD stands for "Piled Higher and Deeper"

[3catwoman3]

35. And a faculty of 19.

With a student-faculty ratio of about 16:1, you'd think he would have been able to get enough attention from his instructors to do better than all Ds.

[colorado_ufo]

16. Maybe they just dropped him on his head.

On purpose.

[obamanut2012]

24. He isn't educated at all

Hearing him speak for literally 15 seconds is proof. He is stupid and inarticulate.

[Walleye]

2. We haven't deployed any of our military to Ukraine and we won

I’m so sick of these performative bills being introduced. Just once I’d like to see them write a bill if they want to become a law and then try and enforce it

[James48]

14. They shoukd require a deposit.

If you introduce a bill, it should require a withholding of pay of a week for each bill introduced.

If the bill becomes law, you get your money back, with intetest.

If the bill dies, you lose your money.

That way fewer stupid bills will be around.

[Walleye]

37. I really like that idea. You lose you pay.

[COL Mustard]

18. They could start by passing a budget for FY22

Which is already almost halfway over.

[Walleye]

38. But that is sort of like real work. The GOP would rather shoot off their mouths

[Guilded Lilly]

3. Standards for candidates MUST improve in the US...

The breakdown of education and decency have taken a disgusting toll on the character of so many who have no apparent skills other than running for office…
Or running their mouths.

[SergeStorms]

13. Only within one certain political party.

Hint: It's not the Democratic Party.

[Guilded Lilly]

26. Absolutely!!

[viva la]

4. Remember "Jade Helm"?

The wingnuts were all convinced that Obama was something-something in abandoned Walmarts something?

They were yelling, "Posse comitatus!" -- that the US military couldn't be used in combat inside the US borders. (Of course, the military was just doing training exercises, and not in Walmarts.)

But now Cawthorn wants to send Army troops there?
Like the Texas National Guard camped out there miserably now isn't enough, or the border police either.

But it's all just a stunt for him, like punching a tree.

36. Sapling

He beat the snot out of an already dead sapling...

[RainCaster]

6. Does NC & MT border Mexico?

Do they really think this is a winning hand? It sounds like a single pair of dueces to me.

[COL Mustard]

19. You misspelled

Douches.

[geardaddy]

21. LOL

[Bayard]

7. Apple, meet orange

[The Unmitigated Gall]

8. The Muscovite's Muscovite

Is Madison Madisinovitch.

[ashredux]

9. All he thinks about is "performance art "...He it's just a stupid kid

[PatSeg]

30. That is all too common today,

especially with this newer batch of republican congress critters. Boebert, Greene, Gosar, Gaetz, etc. It is all stunts and gimmicks, but they don't actually do anything that could be described as work and few of them know anything about government.

[iluvtennis]

10. He took a trip to HItler vacation's home - GAH

[ificandream]

11. It's really just showboating. And stupid showboating at that.

[Raster]

12. Hitler Youth in a wheelchair.

[geardaddy]

22. His feeble brain would make him

a prime target for Aktion T4 by his beloved Nazis.

[Ohioboy]

15. I prefer the term "congresschild" when referring to Cawthorn

He's more like a child who doesn't know enough to be a congressman.

[crickets]

27. Spot on. That's a good one. nt

[KS Toronado]

17. Hope he enjoys flushing he's political career

down the golden toilet. Bye Bye.

[Traildogbob]

20. Cawthorn

Needs 4 wheel drive on that chair so he can pick NC apples and harvest tobacco. Two major money makers for NC that employ tens of thousands of immigrates willing to do that work for less than min wage. White boys will not do that labor, but especially as cheaply as the currrnt work force. Over the last two years I have replaced medal roofs, wood siding and just repainted the entire exterior. Went through Angie’s list to find businesses. Every single one was white man owned with the entire crews Latino, Most spoke very little English. Every single one worked their asses off, and did top quality work and very quickly. Fuck Cowthorn, Bimbobert, Green and ALL the white assholes that would never do a days work, and expect any white boys would attempt this labor, and show up to work on time.
Local news portrays Matty Cowthorn as a working man’s warrior. Sinclair darling. He is just damn stupid. Period. Sucking off the SSDI cash (never paid a dime into it) while shouting his 10 point plan that will end SS to make old people get to work. He stole his seat from a life long Military officer, who served on the battlefield.
NC gerrymandering will reinstall his wimp ass. If only the top of that dead tree broke lose and cracked his thin empty skull.

[Tommymac]

23. Too stupid to think. He is just another uneducated White Racist Nazi scumbag.

Don't know the guy from Montana, but if he is in cahoots with MadDog then he is scum too.

[pandr32]

25. These guys are driving the wrong way down a one-way street

Let's not tell them. They'll find out.

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. If that was on his bucket lst,

the bucket can't come soon enough for me.

[AZLD4Candidate]

32. I need to ask again. . .does this barrel have no bottom?

[lagomorph777]

33. Aidrop him over Moscow.

Let Daddy Vladdy take care of him.

[Walleye]

39. If he goes to Russia, he really will miss Americans with disability act that makes his life easier

Thank you Senator Ted Kennedy

[lagomorph777]

40. Oh, well.

He loves Russia so much; he'll figure it out.

[Walleye]

41. Of course. He can trust God to get his wheelchair up over that curb

[Seinan Sensei]

42. Wonder how much he gets for disability and durable-medical-equipment

[SunSeeker]

34. K & R for exposure.

[area51]

43. Cawthorn wants to end Social Security

to "incentivize" the elderly to work.
