Madison Cawthorn Once Opposed Electoral College Certification…Now He Says Biden’s Victory was Legitimate

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) has admitted that he never thought there was large-scale voter fraud that occurred in the 2020 presidential election, and he only opposed certifying the electoral college results as a political calculation.

Cawthorn made the admission when he was pressed during an appearance on CNN. Liberals are gloating on Twitter over Cawthorn’s pathetic and embarrassing hypocrisy:

“I think I would say the election was not fraudulent. The Constitution allowed for us to be able to push back as much as we could, and I did that to the … constitutional limits that I had at my disposal. So now I would say that Joseph R. Biden is our president,” Cawthorn said.

It's going to get really interesting when the blacks in the swing state big cities realize that like $15-an-hour McDonald's counter workers getting replaced by robot kiosks, their biennial "voting jobs" got replaced by robot Dominion worker-machines.

You have to give blacks voting in the big cities some considerations between the vote and walking-around money come voting time.

You don't have to pay Dominion voting robots ANYTHING...   winking face

Madison Cawthorn:
There is some fake news circulating recently that I backed down on the issue of election integrity.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I was one of the first Republicans to call out the clear constitutional violations that took place in the 2020 presidential election, and I stand by my decision.

I firmly believe that election laws were violated in 6 key swing states by Democrat election commissions. I recently addressed this issue on CNN where the host asked me to point out the number of fraudulent ballots in the election. My argument has always been a constitutional one that does not rely on proving just how many illegal ballots were cast. But, for the sake of the argument, let’s break down the state of Wisconsin, using only stipulated facts agreed to by both Democrat and Republican lawyers:

The Constitution gives authority solely to state legislatures for determining time, place, and manner of elections. In Wisconsin, election law establishes only three means of collecting absentee ballots: through the mail, in person, and in alternate absentee ballot sites.

In April of 2020, Wisconsin’s Democrat Governor tried to push through a new method of voting, ballot drop boxes. His order was denied by the State Legislature of Wisconsin.

Then, just weeks before absentee balloting began, the unelected Wisconsin Elections Commission ignored the direction of their state legislature and approved these ballot drop boxes in public parks, referring to them as “Democracy in the Park” events.

According to Democrat legal counsel, and in facts stipulated by a federal court opinion, across the state, unelected “volunteers” stood on street corners and in public parks collecting absentee ballots from voters and tossing them into literal duffel bags. What did these unsupervised, unelected, and unreliable ballot gatherers call themselves? “Human Drop Boxes.” I call them Ballot Harvesters, and so does the Wisconsin State Legislature.

What was the rationale given for so flagrantly violating the Constitution? Surely violating the clear legal rule of the Wisconsin State Legislature required some commission, some legal adjustment or perhaps a court ruling? Sadly not.

The City Clerk of Madison came up with the idea of illegal ballot drop boxing while walking her dog in the park…That’s it. That’s not a disputed fact by either party, but what it is, is a bastardization of democracy that reeks of corruption.

If only I had known that City Clerks had the legal authority to override state legislatures, I may have run for a different office.

In response to this brutal dismemberment of state law by a city clerk enabled by her Democrat handlers, members of the Wisconsin State Legislature issued a cease-and-desist letter telling them that they were breaking the law.

Did this unelected, electoral, oligarchy obey? Far from it. No, Wisconsin’s Election Commission doubled down.

Democrat city clerks began harvesting absentee ballots through “human drop boxes” as early as September 26th and October 3rd in violation of state election law.

Democrats prohibited special voting deputies from helping the elderly fill out their absentee ballots in direct violation of the Wisconsin Election Code.

Democrats instructed voters that they should apply to be an “indefinitely confined” voter so that they would not have to go through “the trouble” of showing ID.

The Wisconsin Election Code and our Constitution are not some series of suggestions that can be ignored or rewritten on a whim. They are the law. And it is because I refused to sit by and watch this American Empire crumble, that I objected on January 6th.

In Milwaukee and Madison alone, over 91,000 ballots were illegally harvested through “human drop boxes.”

In Milwaukee and Dane Counties, 5,517 incomplete and inaccurate ballots were tampered with by Democrat election officials and then illegally counted.

170,140 illegal absentee ballots were cast and counted without a written absentee ballot application.

The margin of difference is 20,000.

This isn’t about conspiracy, this isn’t about a coup, this is about the Constitution. If we let unelected officials ignore the rule of law today, they will subvert our elections tomorrow. We must take a stand. On January 7th I took that stand, and I would do it again.

Agree. I believe he is still solid. He was just not prepared for his struggle session. See Rand Paul/Steffie.

Conservatives should be prepared for their struggle sessions.

Killed his political career -—right out of the gate.

Hope he has a back up profession on hand.

A most unfortunate flash in the pan.

Send him home in 2022, don't let him play the sympathy game.
