Celebrate now. The guy elected in his place is not only MAGA, but much more seasoned. I think you’d be better off with Cawthorn.

Yep NC is screwed. Elected in a smarter dude. Insanity yes but also smarter.

It won't matter 2024 GOP wins US dies.

Americans are fools. We had a good thing now it is destroyed.

The House Committee on Ethics is launching an investigation into GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina to determine whether he was involved in financial improprieties or had an improper relationship with an individual on his staff, the committee announced Monday.

The committee voted unanimously on May 11 to establish an investigative subcommittee.
"The Investigative Subcommittee shall have jurisdiction to determine whether Representative Madison Cawthorn may have: improperly promoted a cryptocurrency in which he may have had an undisclosed financial interest, and engaged in an improper relationship with an individual employed on his congressional staff," the release reads.

I thought the progressive liberal mantra was to be open and inclusive and respect the privacy of men and women exploring their sexuality. But you cheer on a smear campaign trying to shame him for being gay. It doesn't mesh with what liberals and progressives claim to stand for. It's a bad look for y'all, not for this kid. A dumb kid I frankly don't give a damn about -- and I'm not sure why anyone here does either, as I doubt anyone from his district posts here.

We're not shaming him for being gay or bi. We are shaming him for his hypocrisy. For doing real damage to LGBTQ+ people while being one of them.

DP. What exactly is the hypocrisy here? As a preface, I loath Madison Cawthorn, so this is not meant as a defense of him personally beyond this limited issue. But personally, I believe sexuality is innate and not a choice, which means Cawthorn did not choose whether or not to be gay. He simply is. Hypocrisy is about conflicting actions - doing one thing for yourself but holding other people to a different standard. Even if Madison Cawthorn has taken anti-gay stances, this would not be hypocrisy based solely on his status as gay. Had Madison Cawthorn ever advocated for criminalizing gay sex? Not that I’m aware of. In fact, in the past he has expressed support for gay marriage rights. So where is the hypocrisy in that?

This isn’t about exposing hypocrisy, it’s about playing on people’s bigotry against LGBTQIA people to try to defeat an election campaign. I would not shed a tear about Cawthorn losing the primary, but if you support gay rights, you should not be celebrating this particular smear tactic at all. When, how and whether someone comes out is their own intensely personal, private business, and no one else should be outing a person against their will without extremely compelling reason (which this isn’t).

Cawthorn voted against protecting gay and interracial marriage rights this week.

And also, he’s broke.

I almost felt sorry for him until I read the fine print: He broke because his campaign ILLEGALLY spent funds.

Huh? Is this what GQPs tell themselves when they vote for authoritarians who hate freedom? That some global cabal could be worse? Please.

Assumes facts not in evidence- that Democrats are trying to cede control to the WHO. Turn off OANN and turn on your brain, please.

In light of Cawthorn's vote not to protect gay marriage, I am curious to see whether his "improper relationship with an individual employed on his congressional staff" was with a male.

Where have you been? It’s probably up thread but he had his male cousin on his Congressional payroll and was paying him additional funds. Cousin lived with him and posted homoerotic pictures on social media. I’m so glad he’s done after January.
