Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Wednesday cheered news of Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s (R-NC) primary defeat the night before, calling the freshman GOP congressman’s loss something “good for the country.”
Kinzinger I’ll give a pass to. He’s earned the right to make such comments.
As for all the other Republicans pissing on Cawthorn after his defeat, screw you. If a few votes had gone the other way, they’d be praising him as the second incarnation of Christ.
Chuck Edwards: Hold my beer.
Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) also panned Cawthorn as he appeared to fall behind in the primary on Tuesday night. “I don’t think he was ready for Congress,” Rice said, according to CNN.
Rep. Rice has resorted to comedy!!
Republicans chose @ChuckEdwards4NC tonight because he is the embodiment of Mountain values
Mountain values?
I wasn’t aware that there were specific value requirements for living in the mountains.
This means Cawthorn was saying too many of the quiet things out loud.
“I don’t think he was ready for Congress,” Rice said, according to [CNN.]
Way down the list of things that jagoff isn’t prepared for.
Though he is currently ‘yay team’, Cawthorn’s term ends in January.
Cawthorn’s family: “Dude! Speak for yourself.”
Cawthorn’s cousin: “OH GAWD NO!!!”
I hope that on his way out the door in Jan. someone remembers to hand Maddy a list of what he can and can’t do with campaign donations.
Oh wait isn’t his campaign’s finances in the red? In that case who is responsible for that debt?
In a deposition in a trial regarding the car accident that put him in a wheelchair, Madison Cawthorne said:
“You know, suffering from a brain injury after the accident definitely I think it slowed my brain down a little bit. Made me less intelligent. And the pain also made reading and studying very difficult.”
But it made me eminently qualified to serve as a Republican Congress rep!
yep…I’m curious what a pissed-off, lame-duck, nothing-to-lose, man-child Cawthorn might do in the next few months.
There are things he can’t do with campaign donations? Are we sure? hahahaha
It requires a special level of ineptitude for a R incumbent to lose a primary election in his own district. Violating his party’s sole remaining principle (disrespecting another party member in public) did the trick.
Maddy just might be the recipient of some hush money to keep his mouf shut about you-know-what.
Personally, I was hoping MadCaw would be a rotting albatross hanging from their necks.
Oh, yes. You have to be a manly man!
Though it’s a little foggy here since the districts were redrawn this year. There were questions initially which district Cawthorn was even going to run in and I don’t know the differences between the old and new district lines, but he may not have been as much of an incumbent as he would have been in another year.
Not that he did himself any favors with his strident grandstanding and buffoonery, all for his own self-aggrandizement.
That’s a good point, and the added information is appreciated.
It is somewhat remarkable that his challenger performed as well as he did.
