This little before and after tells you all you need to know:
"Get ready, the fate of a nation rests on our shoulders, yours and mine. Let’s show Washington that our backbones are made of steel and titanium. It’s time to fight."
“I don't feel I had any responsibility for them attacking the Capitol,” Cawthorn said. “It was despicable. They are thugs.”
This guy is so deeply, madly in love with himself he needs to get a room. With a strong lock on it:

NC DEMOCRATIC ELECTED OFFICIALS CALL FOR REMOVAL OF TRUMP: After pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol and forced Congress to evacuate and lock down during the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory, several North Carolina lawmakers, including Gov. Roy Cooper, have called for Trump to be removed from office, either through the 25th Amendment process or through impeachment. “President Trump invited violent rioters to the U.S. Capitol and encouraged the mob to breach the Capitol building and attempt a coup.
This seditious act comes just days after he was caught on tape soliciting election fraud in the state of Georgia. He must be removed from office immediately,” said first-term Rep. Kathy Manning, a Greensboro Democrat, in a statement. Democratic Reps. Alma Adams of Charlotte and David Price of Chapel Hill both said Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet should take that step.

Our local Congressman, Madison Cawthorn (NC-11), who replaced co-conspirator in sedition, Mark Meadows, is all about being proud to be an armed fascist provocateur. Below are a few stories I picked up. Surely there is a way to recall this monster in our midst.

While many North Carolinians have been transfixed this week by the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, state Health Secretary Mandy Cohen sought Friday to refocus the public on the pandemic.
Friday marked a second day this week that North Carolina has recorded more than 10,000 new cases of the coronavirus with nearly 4,000 people hospitalized across the state.
“In the ten months that we have been fighting this pandemic, this is the most worried that I have been for our state,” Sec. Cohen said.
Many hospitals have stopped non-urgent procedures to free up staff, others have opened additional COVID units.
Cohen’s secretarial directive issued earlier this week underscores how dire the situation has become as the state experienced exponential virus spread.
“You should only leave home for essential activities, like going to work or school, to care for family members or to buy food,” cautioned Dr. Cohen.
If you are over 65 or at high-risk, the state is recommending using delivery services or an alternative pick-up method and not spending any unnecessary time indoors shopping or around others outside your household.
Thanks again, please stay safe.
