Madison Cawthorn departs House floor with a warning against "soft metrosexuals"

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

On Wednesday, Rep. Madison Cawthorn took to the House floor to deliver what will be his last speech before his 11th District seat turns over. Referencing prepared notes to compose his thoughts, Cawthorn departed with a firm warning not against the dangers of lax gun restrictions in North Carolina, but that of social media turning American men into "soft metrosexuals" unwilling to raise arms and fight.

"Our young men are taught that weakness is strength, that delicacy is desirable and that being a soft metrosexual is more valuable than training the mind body and soul," Cawthorn said in the opening of his speech. "Social media has weakened us, siphoning our men of their will to fight; to rise in a noble manner, square their jaws and charge once more into the breach of life to defend what they love."

Referring to what he views as a decline in his version of true masculinity as being a degrading force that's ushering America towards "the precipice of disaster," Cawthorn goes on to ask if we will "sit behind a screen" while these fancy boys of his nightmares lead to our ruin.

"I ask the young men of this nation a question," Cawthorn furthered. "Will you sit behind a screen while the storied tales of your forefathers become myth? Or will you stand resolute against the dying light of America's golden age? Will you reclaim your masculinity? Will you become a man to be feared? To be respected? To be looked up to? Or will you let this Nation's next generation be its final generation?"

[hatrack]

3. The good news? We never have to listen to this dumb fucker ever again . . .

[TreasonousBastard]

4. I have been soft metrosexual (whtever that is) for over 70 years,...

and it was damn near always the badasses who caused trouble

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

7. he is a metrosexual also

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Dunno about that, but he is photographed wearing delicate women's lingerie. . . . nt

[Better Days Ahoy]

5. Don't cry for me, Argentina

What an f'ing diva.

[2naSalit]

18. LOL!!

[Coventina]

33. LOL!

[temporary311]

6. Metrosexual...?

Is it still 2005 in his district?

[Wonder Why]

19. No. I live in his FORMER district (as of the next congress).

Thank goodness the idiot is gone. He lost the primary because he is too stupid for a brain.

Now we in Western NC can take our final "wipe off the sleaze" shower and take off our "maggot protector" masks with him gone.

Of course, we still have to wear them for his successor Chucky Cheese Edwards.

"As a parent and grandparent, he instills the same values of Christianity, hard work, honesty, and integrity that his parents taught him. [I don't think they taught him very well or they had the same sense of ethics he has].Those are the values that made him successful as a father, husband, business owner, and community leader," Edwards' campaign website reads. [No, big money made him successful].

[Wounded Bear]

8. Far more worried about hardass Ammosexuals...nt

[Aristus]

9. I'm a metrosexual.

I love tailored clothing, opera, ballet, theater, the symphony, Shakespeare, and artisanal soaps.

I also crewed a tank in the Army, and served in the Gulf in 1991.

Does he think I'm incapable of both?

[Drum]

15. 👆👆👆

[Skittles]

26. it's just plain misogyny he is displaying

he finds the attributes he considers "feminine" to be abhorrent

[Midnight Writer]

10. He's equating fear with respect. That is ignorant.

[Mr.Bill]

12. I'm not sure how to react to a man who is paralyzed

and figuratively threatens to kick the shit out of everybody.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. The Door Is That Way, Little Maddie

Find it and use it.
Moron!
He still is fooling himself into thinking anybody cares what he thinks.

[CurtEastPoint]

14. Ignorant fucker. His handicap is not his useless legs. It's his useless mind. What a dipshit.

[vlyons]

16. Well so much for "blessed are the peacemakers"

nt

[marmar]

17. He's dumb enough to think that's an insult.

[onecaliberal]

20. Loser said what?

[2naSalit]

21. Sounds more like...

He's advertising for a sugardaddy.

[Kid Berwyn]

22. He's gonna miss the GOP cocaine parties.

Sniff.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

23. Raise arms, Madison!

[Skittles]

24. what he is really saying is he hates women

the misogyny here is mind-boggling

[Scrivener7]

50. Yup. Glaring.

[Blue Owl]

25. Go tan your junk under a UV light

[TlalocW]

27. When I see bumperstickers

That say things like, "Real Men Love Jesus," "Real Men Do This," etc. I always thought, "Real Men Don't Need Bumperstickers to Say What Real Men Do." Part of being a strong PERSON to me has always been not to care that much what other people think. If you wanna do something, and it doesn't harm others (insert exceptions for consensual adult BDSM here - LOL), do it.

[JHB]

28. I'd say "Don't let the door hit you on your way out", but...

...I'm actually fine with the door hitting him. Hard and repeatedly.

[MerryBlooms]

54. A sliding glass patio door. Wham!

[judesedit]

29. Isn't he the one who was running for cover on Jan 6th?

Some man lol

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. He can't run, but Sen. Hawley can and did. . . nt

[judesedit]

42. Oh. I got them confused somehow. Cawthorn's in a wheelchair

[Coventina]

31. No, that was Josh Hawley

[VGNonly]

37. That was "real man"

Josh Hawley running away. Madison likes to punch trees!

[MyMission]

32. Remember the photos of him in women's lingerie?

Here's the link to the photos, because he's talking about metrosexuals.

I live in his district, which is very red, rural, christian, conservative, holier than thou folks who still party and get wild. There are fewer Dems and forward thinking people, it's a 60/40 split, but we find each other and pay attention and make our voices heard when we can.

I think his speech is both directed at his own masculinity and his GOPQ Nazi affiliation, challenging men to be "real men" and raise arms and fight. For what? That's the question. There are those who want and expect civil war, and other stuff I can't comprehend about defending their rights. He's part of that gun toting mentality and I hope he doesn't start peddling that crap locally.

[Red Mountain]

36. I think I read he bought a house in Florida

With who's money was not disclosed.

Not far enough but a good start.

[Captain Zero]

48. He's moving to Florida to declare bankruptcy,

That's my guess/bet.
Because Florida has the most lenient bankruptcy laws.

So he has taken a stash of cash (any doubt where he got that?) and dumped it in a house and other personal property that escapes Florida's bankruptcy laws.

Watch.

[MyMission]

52. He bought a million dollar home there

I looked it up after reading an earlier reply. And he still owns a house here, bought when he had no income to afford it.
He was a grifter before he was part of tfg's orbit. I hope he moves there, but he'll probably split his residency between here and there.

[judesedit]

45. Thanks. I never saw those. Another GOP hypocrite. What's new?

[Retrograde]

34. "Will you reclaim your masculinity?"

Maddy, roughly half of your constituents are not male: what about them?

[Wingus Dingus]

35. Thought he got caught in photos fooling around with his "assistant" who is also his male cousin.

Hand on crotch and whatnot.

[newdayneeded]

56. yep, plus being naked and humping

his buddy's face, and pics of him wearing lingerie......you know, the thing all repubs call alpha male stuff!

What we have here is a hypocritical asshole.

[Efilroft Sul]

38. Says the alpha male dweeb who is certainly, absolutely not named after a mermaid.

[Boomerproud]

39. I don't see anyone in the chamber listening to your drivel.

[Wednesdays]

40. Is he even relevant anymore?

[Sky Jewels]

41. The Cousin Humper says what now?

[purr-rat beauty]

43. I'm straight, I'm pro-LGBTQAI, I am a Veteran, I am into reasonable gun laws...

I don't care about redneck culture, I don't care about Conservatism...

what I care about is the hateful hypocrites like this slug and his trashy colleagues pontificating about what should be masculinity while humping other men in the face while naked

[LenaBaby61]

47. REALLY THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[Kennah]

44. He is gonna get trolled royally with a fake profile on Twitter under username soft_metrosexual

[msongs]

46. sounds like something right out of Mein Kampf nt

[Scrivener7]

49. "Charge into the breach" to fight what? Who is he at war with?

[MerryBlooms]

55. Himself.

[Meowmee]

51. Ok ugh

He is not to be respected for sure.

[LudwigPastorius]

53. Ahhh... the same old Nazi appeal to "protean masculinity".

Now, roll the fuck out of the people's House, you fucking shitheel.
