GOP Representative Madison Cawthorn (R-N.Carolina), is no stranger to controversy. The self-proclaimed “holy roller” has been telling other people they live their lives wrong and they are sinners for his entire 15? months of his Congressional career.
TL/DR Bullets?
- Pics and video of Cawthorn with his longtime aide and campaign staffer’s hand on his crotch.
- Lots of Venmo payments to his longtime aide, with message notes suggesting (way more than suggesting), sexual things.
- Cawthorn paid or loaned (or gave the equal) to his “friend,” hundreds of thousands of dollars to live with him. And travel with him.
- Cawthorn’s friend came with him on his honeymoon, for a marriage that lasted 8 or 9 months. And lived with them they entire time Cawthorn and his “wife” were married.
- Read the article- it is much worse than I’m saying.
I think nobody on kos has brought this up yet, because we don’t care if someone is exploring their sexuality. But we do care when a bigot openly contradicts their own professed morals. When they go so far as to ridicule or shame or demean people who are maybe doing the same things as him, but are not hiding it.
Here’s the thing:
We may mention Cawthorn’s sexual ambiguity or disingenuous- but it is not because he is any of the LGBTQIA letters. It is because he has openly and violently been an opponent of people who identify that way.
If Cawthorn were a Dem or liberal or libertarian, we would still call him out on this crap, because it isn’t about the above acronym, it’s about the hateful hypocrisy. He has preached too many times about this crap. And there is no way that his side of the aisle will allow this to pass.
The GOP condones lying, cheating, stealing, fraud, adultery, grift, violence, racism, sexism, insurrection, fascism, idolatry, gluttony and almost everything else… but it won’t allow any deviancy from their sexual OCD.
