GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Receives A Brutal Reminder After Veterans Tweet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Far-right Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s tweet evoking veterans backfired.

The North Carolina Republican appeared to criticize House approval of $40 billion in aid for Ukraine with this post on Wednesday:

In response, he received a series of searing reminders of his own votes against bills that assist former U.S. military service members.

“DON’T EVEN pretend you care about Veterans,” responded VoteVets, a progressive PAC promoting Democratic military veterans for Congress.

They know no repercussions ever… That’s EVER.

[moose65]

30. Ha!

[ancianita]

32. Oh. Rollin' around, then.

[LakeArenal]

34. That diploma doesn't mean a thing to me.

A diploma wouldn’t have made him any nicer or less toxic.

[Lovie777]

2. GQP always ignore what they do . ...

and claim constantly otherwise. Lie, lie, and lies.

[SergeStorms]

9. Like taking credit for Bidens infrastructure program...

after every single one of them voted against it.

Now that's hypocrisy!

[speak easy]

19. +!

yeppers

[blueseas]

20. +1000

3. This is the stuff that should play in ads 24/7

Showing repug voting records commercials should be running everywhere an incumbent repug is running.

[BigOleDummy]

4. As a veteran myself....

... I am stuffed to the gills with contempt for creatures like this. I am TIRED of the Gang Of Putin claiming the mantle of patriotism like the rest of us aren't. I am TIRED of these asshats who never served a second telling me that they love the veterans. I am TIRED of these traitors to everything I served for claiming to be "pro-veteran"! I am TIRED of these people. TIRED!!!!

[Initech]

5. Imagine if we spent $40 billion on education!

[SergeStorms]

10. And then gave it to...

religious and charter schools.

[EarnestPutz]

6. Anyone know what "Award Obligations" are? Does the last chart tell us the VA plans on not......

......spending $200 Billion that it has available, or am I missing something. One more thing, fuck Cawthorne.

[Whatthe_Firetruck]

[EarnestPutz]

35. Thanks for information.

7. The prick

Has a wheel chair silhouette on his campaign signs for sympathy. And he ain’t in a wheel from serving the country. The local news in Asheville is right wing and owned by Sinclair and I rarely see a Dem add, always pro republican adds. BUT, they have been pretty relentless with Anti Cawthorn adds. He pissed off Art Pope, our very own Koch stain that bought the NC GQP party. Mattie’s predecessor, Mark Meadows (damn gotta be proud here in D-11,) introduced a bill right after he took a senate seat to close the Asheville VA hospital. Rated the very best in the country. Just got back from Primary voting. Only could vote for Dems, sure wish I coulda voted that asshole out. The repukes were all decked in bright red, and gathered at the entrance doors. It was hard for me not to say fuck you all. Concerning there where no outside Dems in support of our candidates. One more day of early voting. Maybe just maybe we will be done with Cawthorn in a few weeks. But his 7-8 opponents are just a combo of Bang Bang Barbie, Mattie Gaetz, MTG and just as dumb as Cawthorn. We owe the country so much for giving it Meadows and Cawthorn. Yet the GQP here is so damn proud.

11. I just wish he would be told these things to his face.

AND, with the press present.

[uponit7771]

12. K&R, this guy can post this silly shit because FAUX NewZ

[bringthePaine]

13. shit for brains - what a total damn waste of protoplasm

[IronLionZion]

14. GQP supports veterans by screwing them

[Caliman73]

15. Imagine if Cawthorn had any sense of shame, or self awareness, or even a bit of conscience?

This attack might sting a bit. He doesn't seem to have that. In fact, it seems to be something lacking in most Conservatives/Republicans these days.

[C Moon]

16. So to be a member of the GOP, you have to awake every morning with a new lie to spread.

That is all they do: lie and cheat.

[NoMoreRepugs]

17. I remember showing my FIL, a WW2 vet from Omaha Beach landing, McCain's voting record

for Vets. He was astounded.

[lunatica]

18. His name should be Madison Blowhard

For his services rendered to Trump.

[LudwigPastorius]

21. That fascist fuckboy can...

get bent.

Hopefully, the voters of North Carolina will tire of his bullshit and send him home.

[Blue Owl]

22. Symptoms of Mad Caw disease include....

Hypocrisy, delirium, senility, foolhardiness, and dishonesty

23. Cawthorn's veteran connection...

Cawthorn's veteran connection...

“One of the biggest lies I’ve heard was you lying about getting accepted to the Naval Academy. As a veteran myself, that’s a real crappy thing to do,” replied @Amy0227.
