Maybe he can spill more info on the drug fueled orgies in DC before he leaves.

Hope his fellow crazies are getting a little nervous about their upcoming primaries now. Maybe not too much. His major downfall, within the party, was talking about/against the drug sex orgies of old white male Republicans in powerful positions. The rest was not so much their problem with him. But they could no longer trust him with their personal lurid secrets.

I’m glad he conceded, there was definitely some uncertainty. But in a primary, who would he accuse of cheating? A fellow Republican ?

It was too close. WTF? The better news? I saw this tweet: Madison Cawthorn will NOT be eligible for a congressional pension. It requires five years of service. Oh well.

I don’t know anything about the guy who beat him. Isn’t he probably every bit as awful as our boy Madison?

Well, he ran on almost the same platform as Biden did in 2020
“I won’t be as embarrassing”
Sadly this is what we’ve come to.
( yes Biden had a platform detailed but the general public air of the campaign was “I’m a less embarrassing old white guy”. It’s not like he was the most qualified candidate in the field for POTUS )

I mean, 8 years as VP plus all those years in Congress are kind of hard to beat.

The Democratic field was wide and there were other candidates that had more detailed platforms, that had more ideas about how to move forward. But Biden was the ‘safe’ old white guy choice. I’m not saying other candidates would or would not have beat Trump. I’m saying it’s a shame this is where we are that we have to choose this way. Biden has a lot of years of service, yeah, but his record is years of mediocrity

I followed this one last night. It would be a ray of hope for our state and our country if not that the majority of counties in the district still went for Cawthorn. What saved us from him again was Asheville and Hendersonville.

This guy is still aligned with Trump and will still work to hurt the country and block any progress.

I'm sure we have not seen the last of him. He'll get a job on FOX, Newsmax, etc.

Wow, he’s truly delusional. Trump has people’s back until the end? 😳🙄 Tell that to any of the hundreds of people he’s disposed of and/or tossed directly under the bus the second he was done with them!

I need to look into this more, but it sounds like no, Cawthorn is not going away.

Maybe he can spill more info on the drug fueled orgies in DC before he leaves. I'm not a conspiracy type but...isn't he only gone because the GOP had about enough of his shenanigans and they unleashed all that scandalous dirt on him so he wouldn't get re-elected? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's gone but I somehow I don't feel good like the tide is during towards blue somehow. IDK maybe I'm pessimistic but I don't feel like this is a real 'win'....he only lost because THEY wanted him out of there. Am I off base on that?

Just look at all of the ridiculous stunts and statements from Marjorie Taylor Greene and McCarthy says he'll give her committee assignments back if he becomes majority leader.

He still got way too many votes. Do people not pay attention to what's going on at all? In a Fox echo chamber?
Now to get the other crazies out.
