Photographs obtained by POLITICO appear to show Madison Cawthorn, the embattled Republican congressman from North Carolina who recently accused his GOP colleagues of inviting him to orgies, wearing lingerie in what appears to be a party setting.
Cawthorn, 26, was raised in a conservative Baptist community in Henderson County, North Carolina, and has staked his political persona on arch-traditional Christian principles and the insistence of the importance of a kind of hypermasculinity. His comments about “the sexual perversion” in Washington made on a podcast, which he later admitted were exaggerated, drew the public disapproval and disavowal of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as well as other Republican leaders including those in his North Carolina congressional caucus.
The revelation of the two photos is the latest in a series of unflattering headlines for the freshman member of Congress in the run-up to the primary in his first re-election bid. The primary in North Carolina is May 17. Cawthorn has seven Republican opponents who see him as vulnerable.

POLITICO could not independently verify the photos, which are screenshots of original images. They were provided to POLITICO by a person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign. A second person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign confirmed the origin of the photos. The date the photos were taken is unclear, though they appear to show Cawthorn sitting in a wheelchair, indicating the event happened after his accident. In the photos, he is wearing a distinctive pendant necklace that has appeared in other images and videos of Cawthorn. The photos have started to circulate among political rivals.

I could care less. Well I guess I care enough to post.
Theater, Halloween, and costume parties were once fun.
I may have pictures which would be judged like this or even like that Trudeau guy,
not online cause my AI does not allow stuff like that
Those chicks are easy on the eyes, so there is that consequence to his misguided actions.
On a cruise how long ago, get a life politico
WTF???
The fourth comment is pretty telling

They do this sh*t on cruises all the time, folks.
I have no problem with a man dressing up funny for a goofy party.
But what makes him a ‘hero’?
I thought Big Media said we weren’t supposed to judge people and to get tolerant?
Yep, the way he is pictured in those photos is nothing more than a standard part of Royal Caribbean’s Quest adults-only scavenger hunt. Plenty of people who have done it have written about how the teams have to bring back things like a man in a bra and lipstick (sound familiar?), among other silly stuff. As usual, the leftist media are trying to make much of absolutely nothing.
Did a biologist take the picture???
Looks like he lost a bet.
AND PS... What did he do with the babes in the pic when the stripped him of the offending lingerie???
rudy guiliani supposedly wore drag-
Looks about right.
My mistake, I see the situation as you do.
These sly fluttering homo republicans do more damage than anyone.
Good heavens McConnell announces that he and McCarthy are conservatives...that's a lie, a sickening falsehood that not even many democrats would try to get their lips around. (My mistake in misunderstanding your initial post.)
Seems to be just fine with a good many Freepers as well.
I do not care. Plenty of guys have done this for fun and no one cares. What...do the rats suddenly think there is something wrong with a guy dressing up like a woman after they put people who do it SERIOUSLY in high positions?
