First-term U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn has conceded to North Carolina state Sen. Chuck Edwards in the Republican congressional primary. Luke Ball, a spokesperson for Cawthorn’s campaign, told AP that Cawthorn conceded.

Cawthorn faced negative publicity for speeding and gun violations, as well as for calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug.” He also infuriated fellow Republicans in Congress when he alleged on a podcast that he had been invited to an orgy in Washington.

Cawthorn soon became a leading spokesperson for Trump’s “America First” policies and conservatives in the culture wars. Trump has endorsed him. Cawthorn acknowledged speeding and gun citations as failings, but said the videos were part of a “drip campaign” by his political enemies, of which he has included some Republicans, to flood the district with negative stories.

Speaking to reporters earlier Tuesday evening at his campaign headquarters in Hendersonville with the result still uncertain, Cawthorn said Trump’s support had been solid.

Time for him to grow up. Maturity will serve him well.

Lolz he got Will Smithed by his constituents...

Welp,more time for him to beat up rotting trees

Ay, don't let the door hit ya,,where the good Lord split ya,,go give Donnie a hug

I guess he won’t be invited to any more orgy parties 🤣

Republicans finally voted for sense. Cawthorn can now either accept a big offer from far right propaganda machine fox, or dish the dirt to those investigating trump. Oh what joy

No it was a Joke, also nobody.

Good

Thank god he’s gone…. Only 200 more whack jobs to go

So does he still get his lifetime salary?

He doesn’t care. FAUX will pay him to be a mouthpiece. He got his fame. That’s all he ever wanted.

why he got girl's name?

Its nice to see at least 1 asshole didnt make it further tonight.

Yeah! One crazy down. Two to go

(not even looking up from his cereal) thoughts and prayers or whatever

It’s still hard to believe that over 28,000 people voted for Cawthorn. The bar is very low for these people!

Goodbye to the Insurrectionist.

Madison you can still have the last laugh. You can name names of who was at the drug sex parties you were invited to. I'm sure the evangelicals should be very interested in that....

Hey CawthornforNC RepCawthorn based on your orgy and the video of you and your “friend” maybe have someone read you the lyrics (because we all believe that you can’t read) to this song because the verses describe you well while the chorus is your plight

Just goes to show you, the coke orgies were real..

Awww...that's too bad. He's a resilient guy tho. He'll walk this off and run again someday. 🤭😁

Poor Madison! If he'd only acted even crazier he would have gotten enough MAGA votes. Next stop: President.

Give him a one way ticket to Russia.

Now he's got more time to dedicate to those cocaine fueled orgies...

Georgia voters appeal decision on Rep. Greene's eligibilityA group of voters who challenged U.S. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene's eligibility to run for reelection said Monday they have filed an appeal of the Georgia secretary of state's decision that she can appear on the ballot. The five voters from Greene's district in March filed a complaint with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Georgia Administrative Law Judge Charles Beaudrot last month held a daylong hearing that included arguments from lawyers for the voters and for Greene, as well as extensive questioning of Greene herself. So then just dont vote for her? Let the people decide Liberals just hate democracy. . . .we know. What has she done for the state of Georgia? Those Bible Belt patriots would vote for the devil if he carried a AR-15.
