Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) mused about busting Jan. 6 “political hostages” out of government custody at a raucous Macon County Republican Party meeting Sunday.
Responding to a question about how he would support the people who were “captured” on Jan. 6, Cawthorn began by calling them “political hostages”
Gripping the shotgun, he closed by discussing gun rights.
“The Second Amendment was not written so that we can go hunting or we can shoot sporting clays,” he said. “The Second Amendment was written so that we can fight against tyranny.”
So, these fine patriots who were “captured” on Jan. 6 are not so much “political hostages” as they are prisoners of war.
Then, someone in the crowd interrupted: “When are you going to call us to Washington again?”
“We are actively working on that one,” Cawthorne grinned, before adding that he didn’t have a specific answer for the man but that “we have a few plans in motion that I can’t make public right now.”
The FBI should be very interested in what those “plans” are.
