GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Cleans Gun During Veterans' Affairs Hearing

The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee took Wednesday as an opportunity to hold a virtual hearing on how toxic chemicals are killing U.S. soldiers. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) took the hearing as an opportunity to clean his gun.

Cawthorn, the youngest current member of Congress, fiddled with his black pistol while one witness explained how university medical researchers could help the government examine how burn pits are harming military service members.

“It was immature. He’s a child. He lacks common sense. I think the congressman was overcompensating for something that he lacks and feeling inadequate among the heroes on that call,” said John Feal, a 9/11 first responder who was at the virtual meeting.

Feal was one of at least two people at the Veterans’ Affairs meeting who noticed what Cawthorn was doing. Both were infuriated. But the general public couldn’t see it, because the two-hour virtual hearing was held over Zoom—which meant that those tuning in could only see the person speaking.

1. What a colossal ass.

So disrespectful to those on that call.

[Paladin]

2. Cawthorn is sub-human garbage. (nt)

[CatWoman]

3. i think that's his way of masturbating

[sheshe2]

4. Bingo.

[Hekate]

5. Well-spotted. He's certainly overcompensating for something. ...

That and murderous, threatening behavior.

[obamanut2012]

17. He has penile function

[ms liberty]

49. That doesn't mean he's not compensating though

Lots of guys have complete penile function, and still build their lives around compensating for their shortcomings, real or imagined.

[FSogol]

65. True, he's paralyzed from the neck up.

[True Blue American]

30. I was watching an old video of Jeffry Toobin

Criticizing Clinton for having sex last week

Guess where my mind went?

40. Congressman GunWanks During Congressional Hearing...fixed the title. ya

[orleans]

51. lol

[VGNonly]

6. Madison says:

See my gun, it ain't teeny, it makes up for my little weeny.

[GB_RN]

10. Such A Poet!

And we didn't know it...

All joking aside, Madison "MadCow" Cawthorn (R-Roller Nazi) is like a teacher work day: No class.

[True Blue American]

31. LOL

[IronLionZion]

7. His wife is divorcing him

so he must be compensating for his many inadequacies.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Cawthorn has various tales of meeting his wife.

[AverageOldGuy]

28. How long were they married?

As I recall, it was all of eight months.

[IronLionZion]

45. Long enough to get classified info from him

It's perfectly normal to meet a nice woman in a Russian casino

[EX500rider]

52. He didn't meet her in Russia...he met the guy who introduced them later in Miami.

Cristina Bayardelle is an American fitness model, athlete, fitness instructor, personal trainer and entrepreneur from Florida.
She mainly works for the CrossFit fitness company.
I seriously doubt she is a Russian agent,

[Captain Zero]

57. The perfect Russian Agent would be one you seriously doubted was

And Maddy would give her anything to fluff him for 8 months.

[ananda]

8. Seriously? They allowed that?

That is just so wrong on so many levels.

[leftieNanner]

24. It was on zoom

not in person. So he was either at home or in his office. Not in a room with others in the meeting.

He's still an ass and yes, it's wrong on so many levels.

[lagomorph777]

33. It could have gone horribly right.

"An accident while cleaning his gun" is a common euphemism coroners use to protect families in suicide cases.

[iscooterliberally]

9. I thought this was going to be a post from The Onion, or Borowitz.

[elleng]

11. He's a child.

[EYESORE 9001]

39. A child with serious mental problems

I hope there are sufficient people in his district to realize that someone who has that pathology in their head doesn’t belong in Congress.

[area51]

53. +1 n/t

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. And if a Democrat did that...What would mass media do? Always ask myself...

[TheRickles]

13. Why didn't one of the other participants call him out on it as it was happening?

[lagomorph777]

34. They thought he might run over their office and blow their brains out?

Wouldn't put it past that psycho.

[Midnight Writer]

46. Doubt he would run.

[Captain Zero]

58. I see what you did there

[Emile]

14. In his own mind he's such a bad ass!

[dchill]

15. If rotten trees could quiver...

[keithbvadu2]

16. Cawthorn just wants to fondle his big weapon in public.

Cawthorn just wants to fondle his big weapon in public.

[FakeNoose]

18. Just point that thing a few inches lower, idiot!

[Busterscruggs]

23. I thought

We weren't supposed to advocate violence or something here?

[ChubbyStar]

55. Hah!

Sure thing Buster....

[Busterscruggs]

63. I'm sorry

That you feel that way

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

59. Gripping it like......

[lonely bird]

19. Little Maddie...

Don’t you have to go punch a tree somewhere?

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Just shoot yourself on live TV. That will own the libs.

[lagomorph777]

35. I might dream about that tonight.

That would be so sweet.

[Evolve Dammit]

43. I mean, if you're that much of an attention-seeking macho dumbass, just get it over with?

[paleotn]

21. He's just as immature and childish as the Amurkins he represents.

[Pas-de-Calais]

25. Auditioning for Prequel to Idiocracy

[Orrex]

27. This is why non-gun-zealots recognize gun worship in males as a sign of a tiny penis

Not gun ownership, mind you, but gun worship. Like what Li'l Maddy Cawthorn displayed here.

[BlueIdaho]

29. What a pathetic little weenie.

He is so starved for attention I’m surprised he wasn’t jacking off on camera.

[True Blue American]

37. No, that was Toobin

Cawthorn is still hunting his.

[BlueIdaho]

50. Home Run!

[cinematicdiversions]

32. Meh it was a zoom meeting. NT

[muriel_volestrangler]

60. It indicates a lack of respect for Congress, and for the participants

It was saying "this is a waste of my time, I'm going to do a chore instead of paying attention".

[hadEnuf]

36. Did that asshole with his pistol really think he was intimidating Veteran Affairs?

They crap bigger than he is.

[Aviation Pro]

38. What a fucking toddler....

...fuck you, you worthless oxygen thief.

[turbinetree]

41. Cawthorn is a punk...

[Marthe48]

42. Maybe a squirt gun

because he is such a precious child. Not.

[SunSeeker]

44. "I think the congressman was overcompensating for something that he lacks"

Yup. Ask his soon-to-be ex-wife.

[cstanleytech]

47. So essentially he was fondling his little pea shooter in public?

[sarchasm]

48. What a knob.

[Grins]

54. How many active duty/retired military in NC...?

Wonder if they might be a bit miffed over the way this weasel conducted himself in a meeting about military members dying…?

[Raster]

56. Hitler Youth in a wheelchair.

#BigWheelsMcFuckstick

[Woodwizard]

61. He got what he wanted. Attention.

[Mysterian]

62. Imagine a board meeting of a major corporation conducted remotely

and a junior executive of the corporation is seen doing menial tasks while the board discusses operations/plans. It would show a lack of interest in the matters before the board and the executive would be fired.

Cawthorn obviously cares more about putting on a fucking show rather than dealing intelligently with matters important to veterans.

As a veteran, I am disgusted by Cawthorn and every idiot in North Carolina who voted for him.

[thucythucy]

64. Albert Speer, in "Inside the Third Reich" describes how Hitler

was cleaning a gun the first time they met.

Didn't Cawthorn made a big deal out of visiting Hitler's mansion in Berchtesgaden like it was some kind of holy shrine?

I would be willing to bet this was his homage to his hero, a dog whistle meant to be heard by his neo-Nazi fanboys.

[Sapient Donkey]

66. Nothing more than internet trolls who managed to get elected
