Madison Cawthorn

When the Republican Party adopted Donald Trump, it discarded accountability for its own kind. A lecture from Kevin McCarthy won't change that.

His record is hot air, and that’s the way he seems to like it. Cawthorn is a liar, but so is Trump. He’s an extremist, but so is Trump. (So, for that matter, are a number of other Republicans including Marjorie Taylor Greene.) The GOP can’t simultaneously be pro-Trump and anti-Cawthorn; by allowing Trump to set the standard for what it is willing to tolerate, the party has opened the door to Cawthorn and his falsehoods. That creates a quandary for Republicans who may be annoyed by Cawthorn and his fabulism. In fact, as the Asheville Citizen-Times reported, the academy had rejected Cawthorn before the crash. McCarthy’s lecture is meaningless to a politician like Cawthorn, who has fashioned himself in Trump’s careless image. “I look at a lot of these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life — I’ve always paid attention to politics — then all of a sudden, you get invited to … ‘Oh hey, we’re going to have a sexual get-together at one of our homes.

“Then all of a sudden you get invited.

McCarthy promised the GOPers that he would speak to Cawthorn about his remarks, the Hill said. He criticized Cawthorn — who was not at the meeting — for lumping everyone together with his accusations of craven behavior, reports said.

GOP lawmakers also were reportedly skeptical about Cawthorn's claims, with some considering whether his intention was to boost his appeal to voters by depicting ...

“Being kind of a young guy in Washington when the average age is probably 60 and 70 … you look at all these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life, then all of a sudden you get invited: ‘Hey, we’re going to have a sexual get together at one of our homes. (Cawthorn has been accused of sexual misconduct by several women.) “The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington,” Cawthorn said on the Warrior Poet Society podcast.

On Tuesday, GOP Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina said the freshman congressman has "been an embarrassment at times" to the party.

"I look at all these people, a lot of them that I've looked up to through my life, I've always paid attention to politics," the congressman said. While McCarthy criticized those comments, saying "Madison is wrong. "Or the fact that, you know, there are some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove, you know, addiction in our country and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you," he added.

We’re talking about an elderly legislative body whose idea of a crazy night is mixing a little bit of regular coffee in with the decaf. In one case, Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) stood up and addressed his colleagues, telling them that he rarely speaks during the closed-door weekly meetings but felt he must address the topic because he’s now getting questions about participants in Cawthorn’s alleged orgies and drug use. Meanwhile, in the House, Cawthorn’s colleagues were not thrilled to see the young congressman tossing around wild accusations. “So, Madison Cawthorne [sic] only hangs out with hard core MAGA people in DC,” McCain tweeted. Considering Cawthorn mainly interacts with Republican politicians, there’s been a huge stir in the House over his accusations, and lifelong conservative Meghan McCain is getting in on the action. Madison Cawthorn‘s wild claim that he’s been invited to orgies and offered cocaine by his Washington D.C. colleagues is causing a sizable freakout in Republican corners.

Apparently, multiple Republicans in a closed-door House GOP meeting told McCarthy they take issue with "Cawthorn portraying his own colleagues as bacchanalian and sexual deviants," Politico writes. And according Politico's Olivia Beavers, some in his caucus are not happy about it. Speaking with John Lovell of the Warrior Poet Society, Cawthorn was asked how closely life in Congress mirrors the fictional TV show House of Cards, to which Cawthorn replied by detailing some of "the sexual perversion that goes on in Washington." He said that, as a "young guy," he's been invited to "sexual get-togethers" at people's homes.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy will talk with North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn about his recent claim that lawmakers in Washington.

McCarthy never punished Cawthorn after he was arrested earlier in March for driving with a revoked license. McCarthy said he had conversations with them, but never publicly condemned them while cameras were rolling. And then you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy. Or the fact that, you know, there's some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country, and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. Politico reported that House Republicans have demanded Cawthorn identify any people who were involved in the activities he alleged to prove that the claims are true. Then all of a sudden you get invited to, like, Hey, we're going to have kind of a sexual get-together at one of our homes, you should come.

The Freedom Caucus is “way ahead of that at this point,” Perry added. Since his election, he’s sparked his fair share of political firestorms, including a House floor tangle with Rep. David McKinley (R-W.Va.) that later prompted an ethics complaint. Cawthorn suggested that such behavior was seen from lawmakers in their 60s and 70s. These people, speaking candidly on condition of anonymity, said Cawthorn’s comments caught many of the group’s members by surprise. Perry further indicated that Cawthorn should identify the individuals he alleges engaged in that behavior. Perry is not alone in that opinion among House Republicans — Cawthorn’s claims caused an internal uproar at Tuesday’s conference meeting.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn is getting a stern talking-to about his allegations of orgies and cocaine use among members of Congress.

During House Republicans’ weekly conference meeting Tuesday morning, multiple members “stood up to air their anger and frustration over Cawthorn portraying his own colleagues as bacchanalian and sexual deviants,” Politico reports. This week, McCarthy has a fresh case to add to his chat docket: Allegations from freshman North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn that certain unnamed members of Congress are doing coke and going to orgies. (I’d say the show that best captures the atmosphere, overall, is C-SPAN’s Book TV.)

Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry said Rep. Madison Cawthorn should out the fellow Republicans he claims invited him to orgies and snorted cocaine.

“And then you realize they’re asking you to come to an orgy.” Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday he also planned to speak with Cawthorn, after the issue was raised at a closed-door GOP meeting earlier in the day. ‘We’re going to have a sexual get-together at one of our homes, you should come,’” Cawthorn said.

Cawthorn claimed in a recent interview that Washington lawmakers who he's "looked up to" have invited him to orgies and done cocaine in front of him.

"I look at all these people, a lot of them that I've looked up to through my life, I've always paid attention to politics," Cawthorn said. Arkansas Representative Steve Womack was among those who spoke out, telling the group he has received questions from his constituents about the claims, Politico reported. "The American public deserves to know which members of congress are doing cocaine and having orgies because they are unfit for office.

"I think it is important, if you're going to say something like that, to name some names," another Republican lawmaker said.

(A spokesperson for McCarthy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.) "I look at all these people, a lot of them that I've looked up to through my life, I've always paid attention to politics," Cawthorn said. He continued: "Some of the people that are leading on the movement to try to remove addiction in our country, then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine in front of you."
