Outgoing U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who currently represents the 11th Congressional district in western North Carolina, has bought a $1.1 million home in Cape Coral, according to the Lee County Property Appraiser's records.

Records show that the 27-year-old congressman purchased the home, located at 2213 SW 52nd St., in August. The Citizen-Times in Asheville reached out to Cawthorn's spokesperson, but didn't get a comment about his plans once he leaves office on Jan. 3 or whether a potential upcoming move would be permanent.
...
If Cawthorn makes Southwest Florida his new permanent home, he might have a chance at reigniting his political career back up. Lee County's voter demographics show 149,731 votes cast by Republican voters out of the 276,255 overall votes counted during the 2022 midterm elections.

1. one wonders how he can afford it based on his various situations nt

[Journeyman]

3. I suspect it has something to do with his parents . . .

that, and a slew of potential backers who'd like a pliant idiot in Congress working on their behalf.

[tblue37]

11. Settlement from the car accident that paralyzed his legs.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

28. He was very popular on the cocaine & orgies circuit.

[sarcasmo]

30. Rich parents same as Matt Gaetz.

[agingdem]

2. who cares???

the media has got to stop covering GOP maggot assholes (Cawthorn/Taylor Greene/Boebert/Gosar/Gaetz/Jordan) ...they are reptilian know-nothing amoral apathetic gutter trash not rock stars...they have nothing to contribute to the general conversation other than hate...

[BradAllison]

10. If someone is being paid off by certain foreign entities....

....they can be forgotten in jail, not with a free pass.

[wishstar]

4. He actually bought it back in August before Hurricane Ian came through that area

That area of SW Cape Coral got hit hard by the hurricane leaving lots of damage and debris everywhere.

[Meowmee]

5. Who gave him the money to buy it?

[tblue37]

12. Settlement from the car accident that paralyzed his legs.

[Meowmee]

18. I think he rejected a settlement offer

And the trial was supposed to be in October. I can’t find anything about the trial.

[tblue37]

29. Insurance settlement.

[Meowmee]

32. Ok so he got a settlement and is still suing his friend

[onetexan]

13. Bingo. What's the POS doing these days?

[GenThePerservering]

6. "Reigniting his career back up"?

What kind of bastard writing is that??

[Mister Ed]

7. That's awful. Don't writers have editors any more?

A mixed metaphor that strikes such a sour note should have been derailed.

[Nay]

31. No, they do not. Editors cost money -- didn't you know that? And we wonder why

everyone sounds so ignorant. It's "Idiocracy" in real life.

[LowerManhattanite]

8. Ah, Florida...the NEW Brazil for the modern-day fascist...

…on the run.

[2naSalit]

16. +1

[multigraincracker]

19. I thought it was a state that allows one to

keep your main resident when you go bankrupt. That explains a lot, except how they will be able to afford home insurance.

[hunter]

34. If you own the house outright you don't need it.

Lenders require you have enough insurance to protect them.

[Better Days Ahoy]

20. This 100%

My sister says she's surrounded by a bunch of dumb fucks in Coral Springs.

We can hope for a nice, sudden sinkhole.
Would be Biblical.

[fierywoman]

9. Looks like a flood zone.

[2naSalit]

17. Makes me wonder if he planned to live there...

Or if it was to flip it in a money laundering venture. The idea that he might try to run for office again is interesting but I hope he never gets another vote.

[Better Days Ahoy]

21. South Florida literally is all flood zone.

Build over unstable limestone.
Stellar.

[brush]

14. Out going Rep? Didn't he get forced out over...

claiming he saw GOPers doing coke at a party or something?

[onenote]

23. He lost his primary election. He's still a member of Congress until January.

[Samrob]

15. Soon, FL won't need to secede. FL and TX will be a wasteland of MAGA cultists. nt

[mdelaguna]

22. Such a white and sterile interior.

Not my aesthetic. Which is beside the point of the political purpose of this thread.

[In It to Win It]

24. WHY DO ALL THE A-HOLES KEEP MOVING HERE??? FUCK!

Fine, I’ll do it for the greater good. I’ll take some Republicans from Georgia and North Carolina but you guys have to win! Give us some senators and House Reps. Give us the majority for the long haul! 😡😤

[tanyev]

25. A 27 year old buying an expensive house in an area that will see significant impact

from climate change in the next couple decades. Jeenyus.

[303squadron]

26. It's a red district he could easily win

Ever been to Cape Coral? It's cultural and artistic significance in comparison to other Florida cities could only be measured in negative numbers. Madison will fit right in.

[Zorro]

27. Impeccable timing

Buying a home at hurricane central one month before Ian.

[gldstwmn]

33. Formica countertops and old bathrooms for $1.1 million?
