9. "Earthen Vessels Against Cawthorn - 2022" Thom Tillis's wife (Sue?) already slammed Maddie...

I'd like to see sane Republican women in his new district (NC-13) band together and defeat his ass. I don't know if he has a GOP challenger yet but I hope like hell he does.

[blm]

3. The religiosity is his schtick, an act.

He is evil through and through.

[plimsoll]

25. He is evil, but it's not a schtick.

He is stating his religious beliefs. The mistake we allow is to assume that his "Christianity" is Christianity, just because he quotes the bible we shouldn't assume that he isn't using for nefarious purposes.

[blm]

27. He's a hedonist. Nothing Christian

about him - just his well-oiled act.

I know quite a bit about his life, so far.

[plimsoll]

29. Not at all inconsistent with what I said.

He quotes the bible, and that will fool some people.

[Walleye]

5. I think he's never had sex with a woman. Maybe with his hand

[IcyPeas]

6. I saw him referred to as a Ken Doll with about the same amount of brains.

[plimsoll]

26. I think that's an insult to Ken dolls.

[Tommymac]

12. I seem to remember rumors of sexual abuse or assault while he was in college...

before his accident.

Typical unprincipled young rethuglican.

Evil asswipe.

[Walleye]

14. Sexual assault in college? Maybe he will make it to the Supreme Court, said sarcastically

[Celerity]

19. he never attended college until after his accident, he lied and claimed that the accident derailed

his going to the US Naval Academy, but he was rejected before the accident

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Cawthorn

U.S. Representative Mark Meadows nominated Cawthorn to the United States Naval Academy in 2014, but his application was rejected before his 2014 car accident; Cawthorn had claimed during his congressional campaign in advertisements that the accident "derailed" his plans to attend the Academy. Cawthorn subsequently said that at the time of the injury, he knew only that he had been nominated to the Academy and that he had expected to be accepted, and added that he never said that he had been accepted before the accident took place, but could have applied again later. But in a lawsuit deposition, Cawthorn admitted that he had been rejected before the accident.

During the fall 2016 semester, Cawthorn attended Patrick Henry College, studying political science, but earned mostly D grades and dropped out. He said his grades were low primarily because his injuries had interfered with his ability to learn. Cawthorn said in a deposition, "You know, suffering from a brain injury after the accident definitely I think it slowed my brain down a little bit. Made me less intelligent. And the pain also made reading and studying very difficult." He also said he withdrew due to "heartbreak" after his fiancée broke up with him.

7. Will Nazi Maddy take another 'earthen vessel' out for a 'Fun Drive'?

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/01/politics/madison-cawthorn-sexual-misconduct-allegations/index.html

Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn is facing allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct by several women who say he put them in uncomfortable situations when he was a college student, with the former classmates detailing to CNN on Monday how the rising star of the conservative right would use "fun" drives as a way to make unwanted advances on them.

Allegations of sexual misconduct by Cawthorn, who at age 25 is the youngest member of Congress, have followed him since he launched his run for North Carolina's 11th Congressional District. But the claims have gained renewed attention as the freshman congressman's popularity has steadily increased in some Republican corners following his move earlier this year to Washington, where he has closely aligned himself with some of his far-right colleagues and former President Donald Trump's lie that the November election was illegitimate.

Cawthorn has repeatedly denied wrong-doing since the allegations first surfaced, and his office pointed CNN to a September 2020 statement from the lawmaker in which he said, "I have never done anything sexually inappropriate in my life." The women alleging misconduct against the congressman are former classmates of his at Patrick Henry College in Virginia. Cawthorn attended the private Christian school for a short time in 2016 before dropping out, and it was during that time that the women say he made unwanted advances on them.

"His MO was to take vulnerable women out on these rides with him in the car, and to make advances," Caitlin Coulter, one of Cawthorn's former classmates, told CNN in an interview. Coulter said she was taken on something Cawthorn called a "fun drive," where he asked about her purity ring and her sexual experiences. She says she felt something was off and shut down the conversation. "He got really upset. And he whipped the car around and started going back to campus at 70-80 miles an hour on these one-lane roads," she said. "And it was -- it was really scary."

15. Was he driving when he had his accident?Reckless driving and sexual assault. Real Christian

[Celerity]

16. he was a passenger, and lied about the driver

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Cawthorn#Personal_life

In 2014, at age 18, Cawthorn was seriously injured while returning from a spring-break trip to Florida. He was riding as a passenger in a BMW X3 SUV near Daytona Beach, Florida, when his friend Bradley Ledford fell asleep at the wheel. The SUV crashed into a concrete barrier while Cawthorn's feet were on the dashboard. In a 2017 speech, Cawthorn said that Ledford left him "to die in a fiery tomb"; Ledford publicly disputed this in 2021, saying that he pulled Cawthorn from the wreck once he escaped the vehicle.

In their depositions, Cawthorn stated that he had "no memory from the accident", while Ledford said that he had helped rescue an unconscious Cawthorn. In the same 2017 speech, Cawthorn declared that he was "declared dead on the scene" of the accident, but the official accident report listed Cawthorn as "incapacitated". The injuries from the accident left Cawthorn partially paralyzed, and he now uses a wheelchair. He said he accrued $3 million in medical debt during his recovery; he has received that amount as settlement from an insurance company, as well as other payments, and as of February 2021 is seeking $30 million more.

17. Feet on the dashboard? Seatbelt buckled?

[tanyev]

8. Wow, does he call his wife Ofmadison?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

10. Boys like Cawthorn are slop jars full of shit sanctified by the devil.

Real men don't behave like that.........

[UTUSN]

11. K&R for, he gets more ahole the more i hear of him

[Retrograde]

13. Translation: women are property

on the same level as inanimate objects and thus not entitled to rights. They exist solely for the benefit of and use by such sterling examples of dominionist thinking like little Maddy Cawthorn - since no sane woman would date him voluntarily.

[patphil]

18. If I told my wife she was an earthen vessel, she'd smack me 'long side the head.

The dehumanization of women is part of the Republican agenda.
As my Lutheran brother-in-law "jokingly" used to say, "a woman's place is barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen".
The "joke" is a means of delivering the point while pretending it's not a serious position.

[Poiuyt]

20. Me too. I can just see the frying pan coming at my head!

[Progressive Jones]

21. He needs to watch his mouth. That wheelchair won't protect him forever. nt

[iemanja]

22. He's been watching the Handmaid's Tale

and envies Fred Waterford.

[barbtries]

23. basically horrifying.

[ShazzieB]

24. 😠😠😠😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Fuck you very much, Mad Dog Cawthorne. Fuck your racism, your xenophobia, your misogyny, and your fucking white supremacy.

Also: God damn you straight to hell.

[IronLionZion]

28. GOP would probably nominate this Nazi for the Supreme Court

or run for higher office. Maybe he'll be on the short list for the next GOP VP candidate.

[BlueIdaho]

30. Little Christo-Fascist

I wonder if that little piece of shit has told his mom what he thinks of her yet?

[SergeStorms]

31. Amen, sister!

The American Taliban is every bit as dangerous, or perhaps more so, than any other religious extremist group on the planet.
