Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) has become one of the loudest and most extreme voices in the modern Republican party. Now his Democratic opponent, a lesbian minister, is pointing out what has happened in front of voters eyes.
The Congressman, like many young men, has been radicalized by extremists and fits the stereotype now for a would-be domestic terrorist.

“Like too many young people before him, from around the world to right next door, Madison Cawthorn exhibits the signs of a young man who has been radicalized by extremists and is now—dangerously—radicalizing others,” Jasmine Beach-Ferrara tweeted with a copy of the ad.
In the short spot, Beach-Ferrara notes that Cawthorn started out claiming he was interested in unity and bipartisanship before switching to violent rhetoric and urging insurrection.
Cawthorn helped to instigate the MAGA riot at the Capitol building and has been accused of sexual harassment and predatory behavior. He has shown support for white supremacy and was exposed for lying about a car accident that left him paralyzed by his former friend, the driver of the automobile. He also claimed the accident derailed his plans to attend the Naval Academy, but his application had already been rejected before the accident.
Earlier this year, Cawthorn took fire for abandoning his constituents as floodwaters ravaged his district, destroying homes and sweeping residents away. While the region experienced calamity, the Congressman posted photos of himself to Instagram smoking a cigar and listening to conservative podcasts.
“Cawthorn has trafficked in really reckless and dangerous conspiracy theories,” Beach-Ferrara told LGBTQ Nation shortly after announcing her candidacy.
“He helped incite a violent insurrection. He has called for the overturning of election results, and he’s stoking the flames of a lot of division, and what I hear people [in my district] saying is that’s not who we are. It’s not the community we want to be creating, it’s not the future we want to be building together.”

I will continue to post this list I created in every thread I see about this predatory racist bag of shit:
stolen valor he lied about becoming a Marine, he lied about being admitted to the naval academy, and he admitted to this lie under oath during a lawsuit implicating his insurance company. Source: https://politicalwire.com/2020/08/11/gop-candidate-was-rejected-from-naval-academy/
sexual assault in the one semester he spent in college (at one of the most ultra conservative college in America) before dropping out due to having straight Ds (his own admission), he was accused of sexual assault by a dozen women, in a letter signed by over 150 former classmates who corroborated the victim’s accounts, which represents almost 50% of the entire student body of Patrick Henry College. It was so bad and brazen that RAs and staff would warn female students to never be alone with him, and never get in his car.

white supremacy he accused a political opponent of “leaving his career in Boston to go work for non-whites”. Like, he wrote that, on his website, as an insult. As a way to discredit someone. He later said the words were “taken out of context” and it was a “syntax error”. The name of his shell company is “SPQR Holdings”, and SPQR, although a historical acronym with Roman roots, has been appropriated by white supremacist groups in recent years. sources: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/republican-house-candidate-s-website-attacks-critic-going-work-non-n1244531

neo-nazi support he celebrated his visit to the Eagle’s Nest, on social media, saying it was a dream and a bucket list item to visit this place. Source: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/north-carolina-gop-candidate-deletes-photos-hitler-retreat_n_5f32f340c5b6960c066d6972?ri18n=true
lying about Paralympics training he lied about training for the olympics by pretending he was actually on the verge of cracking the track and field Paralympic team. He posted all these insane videos where he talks about being obsessed with breaking the 100m world record, like he actually has a chance of breaking it. I could post videos online telling the world I’m obsessed with running a sub 2 hour marathon, doesn’t mean it’s a real thing... Source: https://www.towleroad.com/2021/01/madison-cawthorn-paralympics/
lying about his career he has never held a job in his adult life (he worked at a Chick-Fil-A as a teen). He used the insurance payout from his car accident to buy a $20K foreclosed property in Georgia, registered an LLC with 0 employees and $0 top line revenue, and calls himself a “real estate investor”.

lying about Harvard and Princeton "Cawthorn said in an earlier deposition he was accepted to Princeton and an online program at Harvard, along with other universities. He later revised his statements to say that he had not been admitted to Princeton and Harvard and that some of his statements about college admissions were “not accurate.”’ source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/02/27/making-madison-cawthorn-how-falsehoods-helped-propel-career-new-pro-trump-star-far-right/?tid=a_classic-iphone&no_nav=true
Lying about his car accident He lied in interviews and said he heroically crawled out of a fiery crash and that friend in the car with him left him for dead when in fact his friend dragged him out while he was unconscious. The friend in question has since done many interviews sharing his side of the story. Source: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/madison-crowther-lies-wheelchair_n_603c5e83c5b6d7794ae01026
He has the signature of a 7 year old Not the most relevant point to expose his predatory behaviour and his racism, but this shit bag misspells his own name, twice, in his signature... https://www.dailydot.com/debug/madison-cawthorn-signature/
Here are the facts. He is a sexual predator. He is dumb (at a literal level). He is shameless. He is racist. He is the future of the GQP.

He idolizes Hitler. Hell, he even dresses like a Hitler Youth. Does no one remember his IG posts, basking in the fact that he was visiting Hitler's vacation spot and relishing that he was in the home of "Supreme Evil" as he called it.

You don’t even need to look at the fucking stereotypes, just look at his Twitter account.
