Rep. Madison Cawthorn, North Carolina Republican, swung back after photos of him wearing women’s lingerie during a cruise-ship game made the rounds, saying it would take more than “goofy vacation photos” to scuttle his political career.
The photos posted Friday by Politico prompted his critics on social media to accuse him of hypocrisy, citing his recent allegations of “sexual perversion” in Washington, D.C., and opposition to the gender-identity movement.
Mr. Cawthorn said that the photos were taken before he was elected to Congress in 2020 and linked to a CruiseCritic article about Royal Caribbean’s Quest scavenger hunt, where items to be found included “a man wearing lipstick or someone with their pants on backward.”
“I guess the left thinks goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise (taken waaay before I ran for Congress) is going to somehow hurt me?” Mr. Cawthorn tweeted. “They’re running out of things to throw at me…Share your most embarrassing vacay pics in the replies.”
Mr. Cawthorn also responded to a tweet from progressive journalist Aaron Rupar, who said, “It’s not the photos. It’s the hypocrisy.”
“My gender didn’t change when I put that stuff on,” said Mr. Cawthorn. “And neither does anyone else’s.”

Rep. Cawthorn is facing a primary challenge the deep state wants him gone...
He looks Purdy
He’d be hawt if he were the head of the FBI...
All politics aside, what kind of MAN submits to a game like that?
Drunken frat boys who are also repeatedly pulled over for driving without a valid driver's license.
My guess is that it's someone who doesn't care what other people think and just likes to have fun, especially on a cruise ship.
A gay one
It’s funny but some men like wearing women’s underwear. I have a friend who does and he’s quite open about it.
It’s a fetish.
A man named “Madison”? Sorry but that is so very gay. I think his om wanted a girl
How good of a friend? Do you like to wear womens underwear too?
I wouldn’t worry about it - they seem to be all our new Uke / Biden Boize suddenly all over this site
Stay offa de Cruzes.
I’m old enough to remember a guy in a dress being used as a joke and not an expression of someone’s deep seated sexual desires or gender confusion. If a drunk is at a party and puts a lampshade on his head it doesn’t mean he suddenly thinks he’s a lamp.
A good friend and no I do not myself.
In fact I tend to act a bit embarrassed when he talks about it and change the subject...
“All politics aside, what kind of MAN submits to a game like that?”
True.
“Madison became a girl’s name with the movie, “Splash” in the ‘80s, so that’s relatively new. It’s been a boys name for at least a century.
“As a masculine given name, Madison can be found within the top 1,000 names for boys in the United States up until about 1952.”
“A man named “Madison”? “
Yeah, but, there’s a famous pitcher from that neck of the woods (Carolinas) named Madison Bumgarner.
So it might not be that unusual as a male name there.
These don't make me look gey, do they?

One that is goofing around and is secure in his manhood.
You stupid conservatives are once again being Alinsky-ed by the left and tearing into our own.
Read the rules.
Bunch of dogs chasing your own tails and letting the foxes kill all the hens.
When the left genocides all conservatives and their children yours will be the blame.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

While I certainly support Cowthorn, I personally have trouble thinking it would somehow be fun to dress that way.
