A line has been crossed — so says House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) after getting Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) to confess that those cocaine and orgy allegations he lobbed against his colleagues over the weekend were, in fact, overblown.
“A line has been crossed…” or snorted!
First!!!1!!
According to Politico, Cawthorn admitted to McCarthy that he had mistaken “a staffer in a parking garage maybe 100 yards away,” who he thought was doing blow, for a lawmaker. Cawthorn also reportedly told McCarthy that “he doesn’t know what cocaine is.”
“You can’t make statements like that as a member of Congress, it affects everybody else and the country as a whole,” McCarthy said, according to Politico.
Why did McCarthy suddenly start caring about zany, lie-filled accusations? Oh, because they started to implicate HIM.
And this whole “I dunno what cocaine is”, from a goddamned US representative. In a just world self-proclaimed shitheads like this wouldn’t come within a mile of any elected office.
Kevin is a profile in courage today. Hahahahahahaha.
Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR), who was among the Republican lawmakers at the meeting offended by Cawthorn’s off the cuff comments, quipped that lawmakers are too boring and old to throw a bacchanal like that in the first place.

“It is just frustrating. There is no evidence behind his statements,” McCarthy said, according to Politico.
Man. Could one just plop this statement into just about anything of any consequence the Republican Party has had to say for the past, oh, 20 years or so?
O-t: I love psuedo disco
Since he is a R, what did he say that was out of line ?
I just mentally pictured a naked Yertle the Turtle McConnell at a Georgetown swingers party.
Excuse me, I have to go bleach my brain now…
I’m like, “not becoming what?”
stops voguing
Reminder: Paul Ryan was a compromise candidate.
Me: “that’s my jam.”
turns it up
So threatening the lives of congress people is ok, but talking about orgies and snorting coke is bad? Typical GOP
was just about to say the same thing. It’s almost like McCarthy has no self-awareness or understanding of the basic GOP playbook…
Did he ever pay back the money he misappropriated?
There seems to be a mismatch between the title of this article and one of its sentences:
McCarthy Knocks Cawthorn After Private Chat: ‘He Doesn’t Know What Cocaine Is’
Cawthorn also reportedly told McCarthy that “he doesn’t know what cocaine is.”
Cawthorn also reportedly told McCarthy that “he doesn’t know what cocaine is.”
I was getting ready to watch Marvel’s “Moon Knight” with Oscar Isaac on Disney+ at 6:30, but I’m laughing so hard at that quote I may not even be able to turn on the streaming box until 8:00.
He doesn’t know what cocaine is like Tena and I don’t know what weed is.
McCarthy: “I’m trying to be king, what’s wrong with you?”
…and now you understand the moral compass of today’s GOP.
“There is no evidence behind his statements”
Bwahahahaha! And now, let’s hear from everyone who believes that…
