Outrage Over Madison Cawthorn Is A Distraction, And Republicans Are Taking The Bait
The Federalist ^ | MARCH 31, 2022 | TRISTAN JUSTICE

Posted on 03/31/2022 6:49:18 PM PDT by conservative98

North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn is capturing flak from his own party this week after claiming Washington D.C. is a sexually obsessed swamp run on cocaine.

[CUT]

The controversial comments set off members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and provoked a meeting between the congressional newcomer and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who is weighing further action.

“There’s a lot of different things that can happen,” McCarthy told Axios Wednesday. “I just told him he’s lost my trust, he’s gonna have to earn it back, and I laid out everything I find is unbecoming. And, you can’t just say ‘You can’t do this again.’ I mean, he’s, he’s got a lot of members very upset.”

The scandal, however, is nothing more than a distraction from Democrats presiding over an increasingly depressed nation coping with severe economic uncertainty with excess sugar, alcohol, and opioids. Meanwhile, as Republicans prepare to discipline Cawthorn, Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell continues to serve on the House Intelligence Committee with access to the nation’s top secrets despite a relationship likely turned romantic with a suspected Chinese spy.

I wish it was just Cocaine and organs. More than likely pedophilia and infant sacrifices

Must really have a terrible scheduling problem, if transients have to live in the park during their layovers between planes, trains, or busses!

TRANSIENT: One who is in transit, while awaiting the next leg of their scheduled travel during a layover.

The attacker sounds more like a bindlestiff...in the old, original sense: a hobo who robs fellow hobos.

McCarthy wants to be Speaker so he won’t do anything but attack the accuser.

Rush always said that D.C. was Hollywood for the ugly, so I don't doubt that Cawthorn is correct on this one.

I have no doubt he is telling the truth. And McCarthy knows it.

Grooming little kids — ok.
Consenting adult orgies — bad.

So many Repubs go weak in the knees within months of their arrival in DC. Either someone already had a file on them before they got there, or they get compromised soon after, financially, or morally, and they have the choice to do the occasional favor or be outed. Or go home. Not many go home willingly.

[[and may likely be guilty of what the freshman congressman has alleged]]

That’s exactly what i wondered earlier- The fact that he is threatening cawthorn over comments that pretty much everyone knows to be fact anyways is pretty telling- He is way over reacting to the ocmments0-

McCarthy: “I just told him he’s lost my trust, he’s gonna have to earn it back.”

In other words, how can we trust this freshman if he doesn’t want to join our orgies? He’s obviously up to no good.

"It was a podcast."

The January 6th Committee has been trying to railroad President Trump since it started on July 1, 2021, and the only thing that gets McCarthy's panties in a wad is something a Republican Congressman said on a podcast?

What makes McCarthy think that Cawthorn even wants his trust? McCarthy’s a snake.
