More like a meteor.
This punk is going to blunder his way out of office.
He only won by about 50,000 votes.
That whole district can't be all crazy train red.

Moe Davis. A veteran who did manage to get some Republican votes.

He won before. And Cawthorn's "heroic defeat of disability" will be old news.
And, this punk will go too far and alienate the middle.
Davis should consider it!

IF...they did and he STILL won...god help us. If they knew, he should have been defeated something like 99% to 1% unless a third candidate ran. Sadly, that small minority of Hitler-lovers will always be with us, hiding under a rock or, disguised, in Congress.

and serial liar. The more you know about him, the worse he gets.

https://avlwatchdog.org/attack-by-madison-cawthorns-schoolmates-goes-viral/

"A scathing public letter signed by more than 150 of Madison Cawthorn’s former schoolmates at Patrick Henry College alleges that the Republican candidate engaged in “sexually predatory behavior,” vandalism and lying as a student and is unfit for congress or as a representative of the conservative Christian school.

The letter, in the form of an online petition, was posted over the weekend by alumni who said they knew Cawthorn during the 2016-2017 academic year. He dropped out before the end of his second semester and didn’t return. [snip]

based on our knowledge of Cawthorn’s character and our experience with him as a classmate at PHC, we have determined that we must speak out and resolutely oppose his bid to represent the people of North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District,” the letter stated.

“Cawthorn’s time at PHC was marked by gross misconduct toward our female peers, public misrepresentation of his past, disorderly conduct that was against the school’s honor code, and self-admitted academic failings.”

The letter said Cawthorn frequently asked female students to join him on “joy rides” in his sporty Dodge Challenger. He would take the women “to secluded areas, lock the doors, and proceed to make unwanted sexual advances,” it said.

One of the authors, Giovanna Lastra, was a senior and the head RA – residential assistant – in the female dorm, where her responsibilities included counseling younger students. In an interview with AVL Watchdog, Lastra said several students reported having been victimized by Cawthorn in this manner to the point where she said she felt it necessary to warn others that, if invited by him to go on a “joy ride,” to “stay away; he’s trouble.” [more...]
