Cawthorn moves to Florida; fails to hand over constituent casework, Edwards says

Former far-right Western North Carolina Congressman Madison Cawthorn has moved to Florida, doing so without passing on important information about constituent problems.

That is according to a social media post by Cawthorn and the Republican who replaced him as 11th District representative.

Cawthorn bought a $1.1 million house in southwestern Florida in August, three months after losing the primary but more than half a year before he finished his two-year term. The Constitution requires House members to live in the state they represent.

As first reported in the Raleigh News and Observer, Cawthorn said in a Jan. 4 Instagram post that he had moved to the state where he bought the Cape Coral house. That was one day after his term officially ended.

Also, he is not currently employed. How could he get a mortgage, never mind the down payment for a house?

TFG, Bolsanaro, Cawthorn, DeSantis...

It is the appendix attached to the Americas... only accumulates the poison... and should be removed if it gets inflamed.
