Current Events > Madison Cawthorn is in hot water with his GOP colleagues

(+) Yeah! (+)

Namely because he suggested they're having cocaine orgies

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is planning to sit down with Rep. Madison Cawthorn and talk to the North Carolina Republican about his latest incendiary public comment suggesting that some of his colleagues invited him to orgies as well as used cocaine in front of him.

During a closed-door House GOP conference meeting on Tuesday, multiple Republicans in the room said lawmakers stood up to air their anger and frustration over Cawthorn portraying his own colleagues as bacchanalian and sexual deviants.

In one case, Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) stood up and addressed his colleagues, telling them that he rarely speaks during the closed-door weekly meetings but felt he must address the topic because he's now getting questions about participants in Cawthorn's alleged orgies and drug use. Womack remarked that many lawmakers go to bed at 9 p.m. and still use fax machines and flip phones, stating that it was inappropriate to paint them with a broad brush, as Cawthorn did.

Cawthorns comments about sexual perversion in Washington comes in response to a podcast interviewer's question about whether the show House of Cards which features an ambitious, corrupt congressman trying to rise to power is unrealistic or if it paints a somewhat accurate picture of the D.C. political scene. Cawthorn suggested the latter.

The first-term conservative said he received invitations along the lines of: Well, hey, were going to have kind of a sexual get-together at one of our homes, you should come'. The 26-year-old described his response on the podcast Warrior Poet Society": "Im like, 'What did you just ask me to come to?' And then you realize they are asking you to come to an orgy.

Cawthorn also claimed to have seen other people who are "leading" efforts to eradicate drug addiction using cocaine in front of him.

Many GOP lawmakers privately expressed disbelief at Cawthorn's claims, particularly of orgies. Some wondered if he made the comments consciously in a bid to portray himself above such acts past media reports have addressed sexual misconduct allegations against him before his election. There's a desire among fellow Republicans for Cawthorn to identify the colleagues involved to prove the truth of his comments, but that desire to name names could also cause new headaches for a conference that's already faced an array of controversies this Congress.

It's an obvious lie. His wiener doesn't work so he definitely wouldn't get invited to an orgy.

just record it next time, Madison. you'd be doing everyone a favor.

lol he's so stupid. I get the feeling he was trying to paint a picture of corruption in the establishment, but everyone knows he's not out there hanging out with Dems so all he did was out his own party colleagues

That's the one with the eyepatch right?

This is stupid for so many reasons.

First, he's stupid for sabotaging his colleagues.

Second, it's stupid that holding people accountable is considered sabotage.

Third, it's stupid that "they're having sex" is considered shameful enough to be held accountable for.

Fourth, ditto for the cocaine use.

Fifth, it's stupid that the defense is "we go to bed at 9 p.m. and still use fax machines and flip phones," and therefore they're too boring to be guilty. Essentially championing how out-of-touch they are with the modern world and with younger generations. Yeah, these are the people we want writing laws to regulate technology.

Sixth, it's stupid that this stupid defense is actually pandering to real Republican "values."

You know what? I hope this is real. I hope a bunch of Republicans are having cocaine-fueled orgies, and that their hypocrisy gets exposed. Because I don't doubt for a minute that anti-drug and anti-abortion lawmakers are privately using drugs and having casual sex.

Would not be in the least bit surprised if the ones going hardest against drugs also do them.

It turned out to be true of our MP's in the UK, and is often something any rich/person in power does.

And guess what. It will change fuck all when it comes out and they will continue to hammer anyone else who does drugs and refuse to change any laws.

Praise Hitler? Oh u naughty boy!!

calls for racial cleansing? Lol youre trouble!!

Putin shilling? Oh, you! ;)

pointing out their deviant parties? YOUVE GONE TOO FAR BOY!!

So, this is where he crosses the line with the GOP.

Also,

Womack remarked that many lawmakers go to bed at 9 p.m. and still use fax machines and flip phones

I had to make sure this wasn't from the Onion or something.

Really dont get why he isnt in jail or something for getting caught driving twice with an expired license. Who knows how many other times he did that.

Cawthorn really put his foot in his mouth. McCarthy has a leg up on him and wants him to walk back his allegations.

He can't toe the line much longer. With any luck this is the final nail in the coffin.
