@CawthornforNC
The Biden Admin just dropped $86 Million dollars to get hotel rooms for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS yet we have zero dollars going to our homeless veterans who are at a high risk of suicide.
UNACCEPTABLE. UNAMERICAN.

Rep. Gallego has been doing a lot of smacking down lately, with facts. The concept RightWingers fear the most.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/immigration-border-crisis/trump-admin-s-tent-cities-cost-more-keeping-migrant-kids-n884871
The cost of holding migrant children who have been separated from their parents in newly created "tent cities" is $775 per person per night, according to an official at the Department of Health and Human Services far higher than the cost of keeping children with their parents in detention centers or holding them in more permanent buildings.
The reason for the high cost, the official and several former officials told NBC News, is that the sudden urgency to bring in security, air conditioning, medical workers and other government contractors far surpasses the cost for structures that are routinely staffed.
It costs $256 per person per night to hold children in permanent HHS facilities like Casa Padre in Brownsville, Texas. And keeping children with their parents in detention centers like the one run by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement in Dilley, Texas cost $298 per resident per night, according to an agency estimate when it awarded the contract for the facility in 2014.

(2,636 posts)Cawthornis an incurious homeschooled idiot. His entire resume is crafted on one lie after another. He really did survive a terribel car accident, but that 's not enough. He has to lie about the details to present a fictional portrait of who this guy is.
Homeschooled in Henderson Co. NC. Clearly, not the valedictorian, since he demonstrates almost zero reading comprehension skill.
Rejected by Naval Academy before accident, yet never corrects anyone's misperception that he served.
Accepted $3,000,000 settlement form insurance, then sued for $30,000,000 and lied about his best friend leaving him to die. His parents stood behind the friend, and called their son out as a liar. He lied about being a world class Paralympic athlete.
He's facing credible accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior with women in his one semester at Patrick Henry College. He'd take girls for rides in his car to isolated areas and lock the doors, and feel them up w/o consent.
He's never held a job. He was an unpaid intern for Chuck Edwards, who, along with other NC11 GOP leaders, regrets backing this empty headed empty suit.
His Real Estate Investment company owns one $40,000 property. His property taxes on his home in Henderson county are delinquent since September, 2020.
He is involved in Cross-fit, and won (or lost) a weightlifting bet with her, so is getting married. She is Russian. This is his third fiancee (he's 25).
He incited MAGA supporters to "lightly threaten" their congressmen and tell them "we're coming for you, Madison Cawthorn's coming for you, everybody's coming for you..." He claims to have been armed on the day of the Insurrection. He voted not to certify after the violence. He's only interested in scaring his constituents about the border and protecting the second amendment. He loves to show film of himself shooting empty fields.
He is buddies with people who participated in Training Exercises in WNC for Proud Boy/Oath keeper groups. He's a self professed Nazi-ophile.
He recently posted video to twitter of himself dressed in Bubba Camo Plaid beating the shit out of a dead sapling.
I troll his twitter feed daily and support the woman running against him in 2022.
