Kevin McCarthy Used FTX Funding to Sway GOP Primaries and Take Out MAGA Favorite Madison Cawthorn

This is really a stunning report.

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy used FTX funding to sway GOP primaries away from Trump supporters.

The National File originally reported on this on Friday. Kevin McCarthy Used #FTX #SBF Stolen to Defeat Conservatives in 2022.

Of course, it is widely know that the now bankrupt FTX US funded millions into Democrat campaigns through Ukraine.

But at least one FTX player funded hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kevin McCarthy to take out MAGA lawmakers.

Most of the rest of the money, $700,000, came from Ryan Salame, an executive at crypto currency exchange FTX U.S., a major donor both to McCarthy’s own operation and to other groups backing McCarthy’s favored candidates. West Realm Shires Services, the corporate name used by FTX U.S., gave $750,000 to CLF in August. Advisers to Salame and FTX declined to comment.

Cawthorn was my congressman. He was too young. Maturing another ten years with some really good mentoring, he’ll be ready for a comeback. If we still have a country.

“We recommend you read this entire article to understand that Kevin McCarthy is NO FRIEND of MAGA!”

The Freedom Caucus was the only group to go against McCarthy.

President Trump and Rep Jim Jordan need to rethink their endorsement of McCarthy.

We need a Speaker that is sharper than anything the ruling class can imagine.

“How deep does this corruption run? How many more are compromised?”


On May 4, 2022, a video began circulating online that showed Cawthorn naked in bed, thrusting his genitals toward another man’s face while moaning. Cawthorn said of the video, “Years ago, in this video, I was being crass with a friend, trying to be funny. We were acting foolish, and joking. That’s it.”[128] He called the video “blackmail” on Twitter after he had released an eight-minute video addressing it and other controversies.

In February 2021, Transportation Security Administration agents at the Asheville Regional Airport discovered an unloaded Glock 9mm handgun and loaded magazine in Cawthorn’s carry-on bag. A spokesman for Cawthorn said the gun, magazine and ammunition were meant to have been stowed in his checked luggage.

In March 2022, Cawthorn was charged with driving while his license was revoked and while two speeding tickets were pending. He faces possible time in jail.[89] An earlier charge, in 2017, of driving on a revoked license was dismissed.

I don’t know if there’s anyway to defeat these bastards.

I was so counting on sensible voting results outside the margin of cheating.

Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy have been very successful in preventing conservative candidates from being elected to the senate and house. In the primaries, they fund the moderates and RINOs while depriving the conservatives of money. If the conservatives manage to make it through the primaries, their cash is depleted and the Democrat wins. See Blake Masters in Arizona and Joe Kent in Washington state.

There will never be a conservative congress as long as we have “leaders” like McConnell and McCarthy.

Seems to me that Madison’s issues are different and separate from McCarthy taking FTX money to “take Madison out.”

I think voters should be able decide...not deep state money :(

Hawthorn defeated the Trump-supported candidate in 2020.

He lost to a Trump Supporter in 2022.

Trump: writing just before the primary: “Recently, he (Hawthorn) made some foolish mistakes, which I don’t believe he’ll make again … let’s give Madison a second chance!”

Hey, lizard, I asked you a question. I’d like to hear your answer. We know anything you say, the opposite is true. So what does that tell you, boy?
