Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) was reportedly seen carrying what looked like a switchblade dagger while he was at an event at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina on Tuesday.
Somebody needs to Denver Boot this deplorable idiot asshole…
What’s newsworthy about this? Another Lily-livered Republican whose life is so delicate, he must have weapons on his person when at a public school.
Same old, same old.
So … the brave GQPer is afraid of children?
So what do you do when your hands are registered weapons and your mind is deadly to Liberal thinking?
Has the sound of slightly older students.
And, yes, this is a totally unnecessary bit of information — perhaps even a gambit thought up by his publicist.
Yeah, but the knife keeps the other 3rd graders from being mean to him,
I can’t be the only person who thinks that the idea of a man, who is apparently paralyzed from the waist down and can’t walk, playing the the old ‘not very hidden knife in the wheelchair’ gambit a laughable (self) defense - literally and figuratively?
What is he supposed to do with said knife? Wave it about menacingly while his erstwhile opponent… takes a step backwards to continue whatever nefarious deeds prompted the knife to be wielded in the first place?
I mean, if he had a gun tucked in there, that at least is something passing the smell test, even if it is still somewhat illogical to begin with (wheelchair or not)
How brave this guy is. He helps incite his followers to be confrontational at meetings, then feels he needs to carry a knife at those meetings?? Of course he continues to ignore laws regarding carrying weapons, because those laws are for the little people, not (self) important people like him.
Does he have any legal liability for this? Or can he be banned from the school?
If only he’s nearby a large body of water with a very short pier …
Sloping downward coated with a layer of Vaseline?
Well now you’re just gilding the proverbial lily.
“A dagger was allegedly spotted under the Republican’s wheelchair…”
“Is that a dagger under your wheelchair, or are you just happy to see Trump?”
He’s obviously not going into the schools to prison pipeline but he sure ought to.
Laws for thee, but not for me…
North Carolina’s knife laws prohibit anything that has a spring-assisted mechanism to release the blade. Bowie knives cannot be sold to minors. Ordinary pocket knives can be carried concealed, but knives cannot be possessed on school grounds. All other knives must be carried openly, but there are some concealed carry exceptions for state-owned fishing and hunting reservations, and rest stops along highways. Charlotte and Greensboro have further restrictions.
And then there’s Indiana…
Most knives are legal in Indiana, except for throwing knives and ballistic knives. It is also illegal to conceal carry any permissible knife, except for bringing them to schools. Knives are not allowed to be sold or handed to anyone who is intoxicated.
Well he seemed to be afraid of the parents with children at the school board meeting.
Cawthorn only needs guns on airplanes.
That boy needs a good whupping.
“But mine comes with an attachment for the disabled!”
