Congressman Madison Cawthorn, 26,and his CrossFit athlete wife to divorce after an eight-month marriage and allegations he sexually harassed more than 30 women: Cites pressure of 'hectic and difficult' job

North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn and his wife, Cristina Bayardelle Cawthorn, are divorcing after eight months of marriage
Cawthorn announced their separation Wednesday, citing his job as a Congress member as a factor in their split

He claimed the couple was 'committed to make things work' but quickly realized they were unable to balance his role as a public servant and their marriage

The couple wed in an intimate April ceremony after sharing a whirlwind romance; Bayardelle said she knew he 'was the one' after four months of dating

Their wedding followed an about six-month engagement
During their engagement, about 30 people accused Cawthorn of making unwanted sexual advances while he attended a Christian college in 2016

--------

In February, it was revealed that Cawthorn's ex-classmates claimed he sexually harassed women at Patrick Henry College in northern Virginia.

The alleged victims said they were warned not to go on so-called 'fun drives' with him in his white Dodge Challenger 'because bad things happened'.

1. Oh, I remember him and the "fun drives" quote

May his life be filled with lawyers.

[sop]

2. They were "unable to balance his role" as a lying, despicable POS and their fake marriage.

[True Blue American]

12. Oh, Lord, he blames

His infidelity !

[Poiuyt]

3. So he passes off sexual harassment claims because he's a member of Congress?

A lot of people have stressful jobs who don't harass women.

[ShazzieB]

4. I think the sexual harassment happened while he was (briefly) in college.

Although I'd say it's highly likely he's still sexually harassing women. Sexual harassment leopards don't usually change their spots.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Yup. And she knew when she married him. He probably convinced

her he had changed - in the unlikely event he confessed guilt.

[OldBaldy1701E]

58. I am thinking that he did this precisely because of his philandering.

I think he has realized that now, as a psycho rethug Congressperson, he has plenty of women who will throw themselves at him because of his position and connection to that orange gibbon. I think he started to realize that they stopped flirting because he is now married, and he does not like that. But, what do I know?

[FSogol]

21. LOL, he's the real victim here! Pressure of being a public servant!

Why does the GOP scum always rise?

[North Shore Chicago]

5. He and Josh Duggar

would make great cell mates!

[Hekate]

46. They could commiserate w/ each other & whine that women are to blame for their sad, sad lives. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Consecrated before a christian cross, "till death do you part". He swore an oath. Was that missing?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. Guess the former Mrs.Cawthorne won't be birthing "Monsters"

Family values my tush.

[Walleye]

9. Yep. Monster. He damn sure isn't a public servant

[Lovie777]

8. He's been advocating for a Civil War . . ..

A whole lot of GQP are doing the same, i.e. Flynn, Bannon, Gatez, Greene, Boebert, Meadows, Gosar, etc.

10. It is early, no caffeine yet, but several thoughts: so he can stand, and walk, apparently.

Does that mean that the wheelchair is a prop? (I know that some people use both, legitimately, but I wonder if his is not a cynical calculation.) I believe that many members of Congress manage to be married (even for years), and still do their jobs. She married him knowing about all those allegations??? 30 in the year he was at that school??? Busy little predator. And, finally, that cross. Something a bit unsettling about that pic.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Hardly walking.He has full leg braces on each leg. So he would be swinging his legs w the walker. nt

[niyad]

31. Thank you. As I said, no caffeine. I only saw what looked like him using a cane.

The rest of the observations stand.

[Hekate]

47. Oops. I apparently misjudged her too kindly. PC Intern (below) went and googled her...

My original post, which I pretty much retract:

His ex-wife is not the first naive Christian girl to be taken in by a "reformed" sociopath...

I can’t explain it any better than that. The desire of a young impressionable woman to believe that a combination of Jesus and a good woman will turn around a bad man is really powerful. Even older women fall for it.

As for him — I doubt he saw her as anything more than a beard for his politics and his predations.

I applaud her instinct for survival — and that she got the hell out before there were any kids.

49. It Doesn't

require Jesus. When I was in college a million years ago there was this guy who was a known date rapist. Women continued to date him. And get date raped. I was friends with a girl who did. They definitely think it won't happen to them, because - reasons

13. I did a Google search on her...

I will admit mostly images which are fairly “intriguing”… I’ll leave it at that. In my humble opinion the only reason a woman of this type would marry a guy like this is for personal advancement. She probably realized that she wasn’t going anywhere and that he was an absolute catastrophe in every way shape and form. I don’t think she will have any problems finding a second husband, so don’t worry too much about her. 😀

25. Instagram fitness influencer

I guess that's not as crazy as Congressman Cawthorn.

[Cryptoad]

14. who????

[USALiberal]

37. Try google!!!!

[BillyBobBrilliant]

15. No surprise here

End of story.

[rownesheck]

18. Hold on.

You mean to tell me they put in a solid 4 months of dating, and the guy is an absolute piece of shit, and they couldn't make it work?! What chance do the rest of us have?!

[634-5789]

20. Same thought occured to me. What's the odds?😂

[Skittles]

55. he couldn't balance work and marriage!

you know, like MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE DO!

[634-5789]

19. 'Cites pressure of 'hectic and difficult' job' ... that bullshit is adorable!

He is his own worst enemy, screw that MAGAt clown

[tanyev]

22. Hectic and difficult job, huh?

Seems like the family values choice would be to keep the marriage and ditch the job. Also, lots of other people in the same job somehow manage to keep a marriage going. Of course, they're probably not sociopathic a$$holes.

[milestogo]

23. "they were unable to balance his role as a public servant and their marriage"

Yeah that's never been done before.

[viva la]

24. Recently he called women earthen vessels

Maybe that was the final offense.

[Stainless]

26. Madison Cawthorn is probably impotent.......

He was partially paralyzed in a traffic accident at age 18. That accident and the resulting physical and emotional trauma has created what you see. He compensates for his inadequacy by bullying and bluster. He's one sad dude.

[vanlassie]

27. I can't get over the chewing tobacco and spitting into a cup on TV

on the House floor. Yuck.

[Crowman2009]

33. He was already mentally f***ed up a-hole before the accident.

Do not feel sorry for that SOB.

[Pinback]

44. A paralyzing accident is no excuse for his behavior.

I think it's safe to assume that the majority of people who undergo such trauma are not toxic, bullying assholes. Cawthorn was almost certainly a shithead before his accident.

[Gore1FL]

28. There goes his "earthen vessel"... nt

[Midnight Writer]

29. I hope she learns from her mistake and find happiness.

Him? He will never change, never admit a mistake, never be in a loving relationship. It is beyond him.

[DesertRat]

30. According to Cawthorn, he was mysteriously set up with his wife *in Russia*

...by a stranger claiming to be an Army Ranger

[Captain Zero]

32. His overall health can't be good. Darwin lurking.

I don't give him a day past 50.

[niyad]

51. With any luck (ou4s, not his), not a day past. .27 or 28.

[hurple]

34. So...

He is just as big an asshole in everyday life, to the people he supposedly "loves" as he is at his job and on TV.

What a shock. Not.

[Patterson]

35. " pressure of 'hectic and difficult' job" - So 434 people should be in the same position.

[Johonny]

36. He's basically a great representation of the new generation of GOP in the house

uneducated openly white nationalists that fakes a love of ultra-RW Christianity, but violate their Christian oaths as soon as possible, and shows no ability to govern at all.


It seems like gone is the day you see a legacy Ivy League education on these people. They're all college drop outs, high school drop outs. Most from upper middle class families, and none seem to have taken a civics class in their life. I can't imagine how hard it will be to run the house if the GOP win in 2022. The last two GOP speakers left the job in complete disgust. Herding idiots isn't easy.

38. Madison Cawthorn's wife files for divorce.

On the grounds of being married to Madison Cawthorn.

[BannonsLiver]

40. Let's address the tiny elephant in the room.

His penis probably doesn’t work and she’s got a lotta life ahead.

[Hmongliberal]

52. Yep...

Honestly tongues and fingers only go so far.

[Mickju]

41. LOL!

[Jimbo S]

42. Will the divorce be finalized on 3 April as well?

Another inflection point in his life.

[rsdsharp]

43. I know this is shallow, but I have two questions:

1. Who wears scuffed shoes to their wedding?

2. How does someone in a wheelchair GET scuffed shoes?

[Aristus]

54. You'd be surprised at the degree to which guys, no matter how much they may aspire to being

well-dressed, totally fail when it comes to shoes.

I confess I'm an extreme example going the other way; I own about fifty pairs of shoes. A pair for almost any occasion, and/or outfit imaginable.

But I've seen guys wearing fine suits or other excellent tailored clothing with the rattiest shoes in the world.

Before COVID-19, I was a regular at Seattle Opera. Now Seattle is a pretty egalitarian place. I see guys at the opera wearing anything from black tie to cargo shorts and Birkenstocks.

But I'll never forget the time I saw a guy wearing a superb tuxedo; impeccable black tie and all the accessories. And on his feet, a pair of faded, scuffed black loafers! Seriously? After all that effort expended on everything else.

IMO, a man is not truly a detail-oriented dresser unless he sports a good pair of shoes.

Anyway, this is Madison Cawthorn we're talking about. He's a total loss, no matter what he's wearing.

[Demovictory9]

56. Wow..50 pairs!!

[geardaddy]

45. Womp womp

[irisblue]

48. Cawthorn is going to be questioned by the J6 committee, She can talk to them, if she wishes to.

Source-https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/exclusive-jan-6-organizers-met-congress-white-house-1245289/
snip--"Along with Greene, the conspiratorial pro-Trump Republican from Georgia who took office earlier this year, the pair both say the members who participated in these conversations or had top staffers join in included Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas).

“We would talk to Boebert’s team, Cawthorn’s team, Gosar’s team like back to back to back to back,” says the organizer."

much more there

[davsand]

50. Absolutely he's a pig and a horrible piece of sh*t.

Having clearly established that, I have wondered about how difficult it is to be newlyweds dealing with the stuff he's been associated with since they got married. That first year after we were married saw more fights than we'd had the entire three years we dated and lived together. Imagine that coupled with the public humliation of your new husband being publicly accused of being a sexual predator AND the knowledge he's viewed by many to be a traitor. I can see how it would be too much to deal with. Now, imagine thinking about LIVING with all that for the rest of your life...

I'd leave skid marks getting away from that, and I'd bet a lot of other women would too.

I have no idea what she's like as a human being, but I do hold a certain sympathy for her at this point. Clearly, she made a poor decision to marry him, but I really wonder how well she knew him before the wedding. My mom is fond of saying, "Marry in haste and then repent at your leisure." Mom is a pretty smart lady.

53. Job before marriage

Marriage does not have the same degree of limelight.

[malaise]

57. No sane woman will put up with this monster

for long.
He has more baggage than a hub airport carousel

[kimbutgar]

59. He probably was a monster to live with!

She got out of that marriage before she became his “vessel”.

The guy is evil,and probably said some bad stuff to her and treated her disrespectfully. She can put him behind her and move on.
