It looks like anti-LGBTQ congressman Madison Cawthorn‘s weird sex scandal isn’t going away anytime soon.After House minority leader Kevin McCarthy warned the 26-year-old this week that has “got to turn himself around” following his appearance on the Warrior Poet Society podcast, where he bragged about how he’s been invited to all sorts of cocaine-fueled sex parties in Washington, D.C., GOP Sen.
Thom Tillis endorsed Cawthorn’s primary opponent, Chuck Edwards.Related: Madison Cawthorn’s mission to destroy his career makes significant progress“Unfortunately, Madison Cawthorn has fallen well short of the most basic standards Western North Carolina expects from their representatives, and voters now have several well-qualified candidates to choose from who would be a significant improvement,” Tillis said in a statement yesterday.“I believe [state Sen.] Chuck Edwards is the best choice,” he added, noting that Edwards “puts his constituents first” and is a “hardworking conservative leader”.Madison Cawthorn affirms Washington DC is like the movie House of Cards and said people that he’s looked up his whole life who are now in their 60’s or 70’s have invited him to an orgy at their home and others have done cocaine in front of him.
