So there's a new Madison Cawthorn video where he was um...
Never mind.
I muted all that. What was he doing? I assume another republican move (the leak) to remove an embarrassment?
Humping his cousin’s face with no clothes on.
Makes me realize
1) I’m guessing Cawthorn was paralyzed not in some massive accident, but perhaps by a flat tire cuz his head was in a compromised position under the steering wheel, and
2) this is a distraction for something bigger about to come out of the GOP.
I think he made some enemies with the coke orgy comment. If his allegation was true, then of course they want to shift the focus to Cawthorn being a weirdo and make him disappear. If the allegations are bullshit, and with Cawthorn's history of telling crazy lies, who knows, they still want him gone.
I saw a great piece, can't remember where, about the future of the party. Mostly interviewing young people at CPAC, and showing how they joined the GOP because they love how Trump is an immature buffoon who insults everyone. Young Republicans coming up know that they need to act like an even bigger outrageous buffoon than Trump to get attention. Look at MTG, Cawthorn, Boebert, etc..., All new to politics without any education or experience, and they jumped right to the top of the most known Representatives in Congress. Throw Gaetz in there as well. It used to be, you spent a career working towards building a reputation through accomplishments to become a big name in politics. Now, you create viral video by doing saying batshit crazy things and making up crazy conspiracy theories and allegations against Dems. My hope is the powers behind the GOP are fed up and want to cut this shit out before they lose all power to the wingnuttiest. Because let's be real, Cawthorn, MTG, and Boebert aren't going to take orders from the GOP power brokers once they make a name for themselves. It's like how the old school Dem power structure fights to keep the Progressives at bay.
I will say, the lingerie pictures is actually a bullshit story. Cawthorn was on a cruise ship, and they played a game where people put a bra on over their clothes. Perfectly innocent and crazy that they are trying to make a scandal out of this. The humping video is flat out weird, but I don't know the context of it yet.
