GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn's Unhinged Parenting Advice Panned As 'Dangerous'

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) urged mothers to raise their sons to be monsters in an off-the-rails speech slammed on social media as “dangerous” and sociopathic.

The extremist first-term lawmaker said society wants to “de-masculate young men” because “they don’t want people who are going to stand up” in footage shared online Monday by activist group Right Wing Watch. It’s unclear where the video was filmed, but it’s now going viral.

“All you moms here — the ones who I said are the most vicious in our movement — if you are raising a young man, please raise them to be a monster,” added Cawthorn, who’s pushed Donald Trump’s election lies, warned “bloodshed” will be inevitable if “our elections continue to be rigged,” and once posed for pictures at Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s vacation retreat.

Cawthorn has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by former classmates at a Northern Virginia Christian college. Four women told BuzzFeed News Cawthorn was aggressive, misogynistic, or predatory toward them.

Yes let's raise them to be bullying beer guzzling Bubbas who fart and scratch their privates in public. Real manly.

I'm sure we can identify at least 12 men in the combined houses of Congress who are wonderfully positive role models. I'm not thinking of a pin-up calendar, but rather a thoughtful display of what it means to be a good person, a good parent, civic leader, etc.

Rarely does the media pay attention to competence. Instead, say the craziest most racist things and you get news coverage. Even better if liberals are outraged, which allows racist, incompetent idiots to suck up all the oxygen in the room. Worse, the continuous coverage normalizes this conduct.

It is better to just genetically condemn racists. Yes, they will then self identify and say that you are condemning them, but let them self-own themselves and focus attention on competency and science.
