The revelation of the two photos is the latest in a series of unflattering headlines for the freshman member of Congress in the run-up to the primary in his first re-election bid. They were provided to POLITICO by a person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign. “I subscribe to Judeo-Christian beliefs,” he continued. The date the photos were taken is unclear, though they appear to show Cawthorn sitting in a wheelchair, indicating the event happened after his accident. His comments about “the sexual perversion” in Washington made on a podcast, which he later admitted were exaggerated, drew the public disapproval and disavowal of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as well as other Republican leaders including those in his North Carolina congressional caucus. He has court dates in May and June.

After the trooper learned he was driving with a revoked license, Cawthorn turned over his license and traded seats with a female passenger. Michele Woodhouse, one of the seven Republicans challenging Cawthorn in the upcoming GOP primary, said Friday that the photos are the latest example of Cawthorn embarrassing his constituents and “dealing with self-inflected wounds.” Woodhouse is a former chair of the 11th Congressional District Republican Party. “The people of Western North Carolina want a member of Congress that’s making headlines about good work, and serving constituents, and writing good legislation, and rolling back Joe Biden’s failed policies, and helping to give them relief at the grocery store and the gas pump,” Woodhouse said in an interview with The News & Observer. “Not stories like this that continue to show that Congressman Cawthorn sadly doesn’t have the maturity or the discernment.”

Madison Cawthorn Appears to Party In Lingerie In Newly Unearthed ... (Jezebel)

To be unequivocally clear, the problem here is hypocrisy—not a man wearing lingerie! This might be the only cool or acceptable thing Cawthorn has ever done.

And the young congressman’s own behavior, between repeatedly getting pulled over for reckless driving and having his suspended license confiscated, is giving his enemies plenty of material to work with. And it’s not hard to see why, in the wake of Cawthorn’s self-inflicted cocaine-and-orgy circus, sparking intense drama and backlash that’s clearly still unfolding. He’s also frequently made clear his stance that “there’s only one God and two genders,” and has referred to women as “ earthen vessels” whose existential purpose is procreation. In any case—amid the mystery of when these photos were taken, who provided them to Politico, and what happens next, one thing is clear: Someone—presumably Cawthorn’s own party leadership—wants him out of office. The jarring, problematic aspect of this is the hypocrisy: Cawthorn has repeatedly made anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ statements, including going so far as to lecture about how “real” women don’t have “tallywackers” on the House floor earlier this month.
