Madison Cawthorn is a Republican creation and North Carolina embarrassment

Editorial in the Charotte Observer

We’re all for public officials being attentive to the “public” part of their title. It’s good for everyone when elected representatives explain what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. But on behalf of a whole lot of North Carolinians, we have a request regarding one of those officials:

Can someone please keep Madison Cawthorn away from the cameras? And the microphones? And really, most situations in which he publicly tries to turn words into meaningful thoughts?

The first-term, District 11 U.S. House member has been an embarrassment to the institution, to his party, and to his state. In the last month alone, he:

▪ Helped incite the U.S. Capitol invasion with a Jan. 6 speech that lied about election fraud and stoked anger, then less than 24 hours later said the president’s election falsehoods played a role in the riot while claiming his own, similar election lies weren’t a factor. Cawthorn wasn’t alone in that kind of whiplash-inducing pivot, but he was the only lawmaker calling for unity after Jan. 6 who also sold “Cry more, lib” T-shirts on his web site. (He later removed the listing.)

Where slime like Gymbag Jordan, Lauren BimBoebert, Timmy Tubularville, Marjorie Traitor-Green, and this Madison CaCawthorn are bred and released into the dumbest districts, somehow rising like swamp gas to a position of government power...

and managed to get 150 people from the college to sign a letter basically saying he's a piece of shit. Quite the accomplishment.
