On January 6th, or 7th, Cawthorn came out hard against the Demonstrators - not distinguishing between the obvious plants (be they FBI, or AntiFA) and the real Americans. I think his Deep State comrades (Lindsey Graham? McDonnell?) scared him into thinking that there was real danger involved.
I can understand with him being in a wheel chair, and with the loud noise, and senior Congresscritters selling fear - that he could have fallen for it -- but his reaction certainly left a bad taste in my mouth.
It wasn't an "insurrection" it was a staged event put on by Pelosi and the Deep State actors.
Has he ever explained his actions on that day?
Read his bio on wikipedia and it is hard to find anything positive about him:
