Washington Twenty five-year-old North Carolina GOP congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn is on the defensive over photos on his Instagram page that show him in 2017 visiting Adolf Hitler's vacation house in Germany known as the"Eagle's Nest."
The caption refers to Hitler as"the Fuhrer" and says that a visit to the site -- a popular tourist destination documenting the horrors of the Nazi regime -- had been on his"bucket list for awhile" and"did not disappoint.""Strange to hear so many laughs and share such a good time with my brother where only 79 years ago a supreme evil shared laughs and good times with his compatriots," the caption states.
They're desperate.
Millions of people have visited the same site - millions from all over the world. More books have been written about Hitler NAZIS than any other subject - this is a low blow even for Democrats.
That’s historical place! What’s the problem.. just because I watch documentaries doesn’t mean Iike him, what’s wrong with people!!
WHOA!!! Candidate M. Cawthorn did something thousands of American tourists do every year - visit a WWII Historical site in Germany, no less. You should definitely can him for such a misdeed. (HA!) The joke's on CNN.
There is nothing wrong with visiting places and getting to know your history. I like reading about Salem and Stonehenge. It is all about history.
i visited my Gandpa's work once too.
Wonder if any of the snowflakes bitching can name the US division who was the first to capture and occupy it. Without having to google it of course. Probably not. This is because the cancel culture knee jerk reaction is rooted in ignorance.
We fought Nazis into abject defeat. No doubt many Americans have been curious to see Hitler's hideaway, and are perfectly free to do so. CawthornforNC
Meanwhile FIVE DAYS LATER: CNN Finally Reports On 5-Year-Old Killed By a Black Man in Broad Daylight, Doesn't Mention Race
If you actual read the posts - he talks about Hitler as “pure evil”. He was paying respect to those lives lost. Do you think people that visit the Freedom Tower in NYC support those idealogies that crashed into the WTC? Happy to provide more examples. Facts sheeple. FakeNewsCNN
At least he may know something about world history, unlike so many other Americans
I didn’t realize visiting historic places (good or bad) was not allowed anymore. Being curious about places in history does not make someone a racist or Nazi. Nice reach there...
So now you aren't allowed to visit historical sites?
So by your logic no one should visit any historic sites that were part of the Confederacy in the south. You are a complete joke and should have to take News out of you name.
I'm more concerned about that popped collar, personally.
Why can't we just raise the stakes and say anyone who visits Germany is a supporter of Hitler?
The embrace of Hitler by Republicans, and their Supporters, is troubling.
It’s a tourist attraction. It’s not like photos emerged of him pissing on Anne Frank’s memorial. This is a joke
Here’s the caption to the post if anyone cares to read the whole statement
Replies on this thread are evidence that the left has lost its mind.
Just because he visited it doesn’t make him a nazi. Pathetic CNN always promoting racism.
It’s called history and I would love to have that opportunity to see things like that!
His true colours exposed.
Is it on a tour or open for tours? That’s not odd or newsworthy. If you’re telling us that he booked it for a stay through VRBO, then say that.
Young man, you don’t need to defend yourself. Anyone with half a brain, knows it’s a historical site. Many tourist go there. Just need to cleanse their blow hole with nonsense. Typical CNN
can’t stand history. It wants to throw out everything.
Sounds like an educational history trip. Pretty cool!
This is CNNs attempt to imply another conservative has ties to Nazism. Pathetic.
And?
The same photo were he condemns what hitler did? You guys sure love twisting bullshit as fake as possible.
Get over it! Its part of history! That's it!
but your... collar is popped...
And your point is? I would visit it to as a reminder of what not to be. Doesn't mean I believe in it
Ahh, good ol CNN with a manipulative headline and reaching article....
Reaching so hard! Nice try.
This is part of the tours in Austria when u visit. Give me a break. Many people have been there.
It’s a tourist destination...like Auschwitz...the coliseum...beaches of Normandy...Dahlmer’s house. To be in the place where it happened. Fascinating!!
Of course he did. He is taking notes. I’m sure there is a female scandal from high school in there as well.
Why the fuck would anyone go there
So we're now being shamed for visiting historical sights? I think cnn is on a suicide mission..
I lived in Berchtesgaden on the very road that leads to the Eagles Nest, for 10 years. I loved it there. It didn’t make me like Hitler.
😱 He is looking at history!
As an observer, this was the paragraph in the article that struck me the most... 'Strange to hear so many laughs and share such a good time with my brother where only 79 years ago a supreme evil shared laughs and good times with his compatriots,' the caption states.
I love people who pose questions about this guy but didn’t bother to read the actual story...this is the age we live in...outrage without knowledge
OK so what is the point How many or 1,000's of visitors did the same? It's like going to any historical location I do not see any problem!!
I don't see the problem with going to a tourist destination on vacation..... Another example of trashy CNN trying to influence an election.
Oh CNN. Seriously? The guy was visiting a historical site.
OMG! That is a tourist attraction that even the US European Armed Forces Recreation Section had tours to. It is to show how opulent he wanted to live and how the US Army captured it!
Dear Lord, why would anyone want to do that? What kind of animals are we dealing with?
So what Hitler was a hero.
This is hogwash. There is nothing special with the building. You can't erase history neither can Hitler be erased
Man goes on vacation, story at 11.
Why should he be on the defense? It’s a historic site. There is nothing wrong to go see where the most evil man on earth lived
Unless he has a swastika tattooed on his ass... who cares. I toured Graceland once and toured a plantation.
Lets rid the government of these racist, it is 2020.
CNN it’s called history
So what? I watch Hitler on the History channel all the time just to see the maniac things he did. He was a crazy ass lunatic and it’s very interesting to see the chaos he caused
So what. It's part of history. Y'all need to get over it. Doesn't make a person racist for visiting a historical site
Is this seriously a story? It's called history fuck heads.
Before picking up a political career, tighten up your loose ends! The political world is not for dummies. Good morning
Eh, I'm a bleeding heart liberal and don't see the issue here. I watched Band of Brothers (trice), I'd go there.
x
Terribly fake and biased story.
A million people a year visit that historic site and you think this is newsworthy but a 5 year old NC BOY IS SHOT IN HIS FRONT YEAR AND YOU SAY NOTHING?!
My profile pic is from there when the band of brothers took it over. If we are going by this logic then him going to auschwitz would make him an anti-semite?
How dare he call hitler “supreme evil”! -Democrats
So the dude saw some history on vacation. Gtfoh
CNN FAKE NEWS!!!!👎👎👎🇺🇸🇺🇸
BreakingNEWS!cnn on the defensive for picking on a disabled man,for'wanting to visit historical sites of WW2,'sources say.CNN declined to comment due to recent controversy for not reporting on the death of a 5yearold boy, shot at point blank range by a black man.CannonHinnant
You called AOC an upstart and didn’t to this man. Seems he is much more (arrogant ) then she is as you say.
CNN IS SO PATETIC THAT A VISIT TO HITLER'S VACATION HOUSE IS CONSIDERED AS A SYMPATHY FOR NATIONAL SOCIALISM, EVERY WORLD CITIZEN SHOULD DO THAT AT LEAST ONCE TO SEE WHERE FASCISME /ANTIFA TO LEADS DUTCHNATIVE
I don’t know what Mr.Cawthorne had in mind by the visit but I’d like to visit Eagles Nest myself. From the history and the beauty of this structure it’s on my bucket list. I know it was built for one of the most evil men in history but maybe that’s why it should be studied.
AND?
The man is visiting a historical site?!? When was the last time you pointed out the Squad antisemitism? WTF is wrong with you? EnemyOfThePeople
You realise Hitler's dead right? Ya'll actijglike the dude is vacationing with Adolf in Bavaria. A lot of people interested in WW2 visit that, and it's open as a museum detailing Hitler's crimes. I mean grow up people, really, wtf is wrong you?
OMG he was a tourist! Thats the worst thing ever.
You are such a loser network.
Soooooo? History is history... Good or bad it's history... Mountain meet mole hill.
So what?
Now I have to wonder if that old S & M bar in NYC was named 'The Eagles Nest' after Hitler's vacation home.
Why? I have no idea why people are so interested in Hitler's life. He murdered millions.
CawthornforNC Another Nazi GOP is no longer a party of Republicans or Conservatives and clearly now only a Radical-Right Extremist group. Need to change that name as you no longer represent our Democracy SenateGOP HouseGOP GestapoTrump
This is stupid. Like saying that visiting Dachau somehow supports naziism. Nonsense. The Germans have done what the US needs to do better — grapple with the ugliness of its past w historical landmarks established as tourist destinations. Hitler’s home is part of that history.
Seriously?
Aint buying your Narative CNN
As a history buff, I can understand. Bucket List for me is a WW2 tour, to see what our Greatest Generation endured and did and the sacrifices they made for our freedoms. It's called RESPECT, CNN. Learn it. Love it. Live it. They died for you to be this shitty? Grow up, assholes.
Um, it’s part of history. Who the hell cares?
It’s a damn historical monument for crying out loud. I’m a WWII history buff - I would go visit that stuff as well. God I hope CNN burns to the ground. You people are truly worthless one one sided.
Why are we not surprised?
Maybe “Bucket List” Normandy if you like WW2 stuff.
I’ve visited the Eagle’s Nest near Berchtesgaden, the culmination of years of study on the Third Reich. If these smiley pics were from Dachau, that would be something different. This is a stupid ‘controversy’ that takes our eyes away from real issues we’re grappling with today.
What the f*** is wrong with people in the cancel culture? Eagle's Nest is a historically significant site that people should visit if they get a chance. I really hate the narrow-mindedness disease that has infected western civilization.
AYFKM?
I have been there too. Any student of the second world war would have interest in seeing this location. period
Yup been there it is a beautiful location and history... the real history must be remembered and past on.
It's a fascinating historical site
Why are you posting a story like this? What do you have against disabled persons? He did nothing wrong by visiting a historic site like the Eagle’s Nest or Auschwitz. Shame on you CNN!
Only you communists want to destroy things. Its actually a thing to visit History sites...
Puh lease, he called him 'the fuhrer' it's a no for me dawg.
Dear Americans: Hitler's domicile is in Berghof, Obersalzberg with a view of Salzburg (birthplace of Mozart) in Austria and not in Germany! Yes, today this is a popular viewpoint and little reminds of Hitler and Eva Braun- nevertheless there are enough signs for what it once was!
Been there done that twice. Oh the humanity.
What a joke.
Twenty-five? Wow! Future Democrat President JFK visited the Eagle’s Nest when he was 28.
Fits nicely with in cnn’s politically bias tabloid shtick. Democrats state run media. Unethical journalism!Propagandist!
Seriously...get a new grievance people.
Really? Imagine that!

What the blazes for..... its friggin history
I would love to visit that sight it looked beautiful. I would also visit concentration camps that doesn’t make you a Nazi! This is a ridiculous article you have to learn from history!
Another Trump supremacist
And looking very happy to be there.
So now people have to get the ok from the left to go on vacation... How is this not election interference by the media, only going after Republicans? Good luck in November. Smh.
CNN won't tell you this bc they're hacks so I'll do their work for free.The caption under the photo reads as follows: Strange to hear so many laughs and share such a good time with my brother where only 79 years ago a SUPREME EVIL shared laughs and good times with his compatriots
Cnn azzHoles On vacation
Then dont put that shit on instagram.
CannonHinnant CannonsLifeMatters
Good grief! Who cares?!
No he isnt, some idiot is baselessly calling him a nazi and you're just providing cover for it
In Germany we name them simply Nazi!
Oh my god really CNN
The GOP is filled to the brim with these kinds of racist troglodytes
Hmmm yeah tell me more about his big cock.
Why shouldn't he go? It is a historical and tourist site. You leftist aren't right in the head.
What’s wrong w that? History
Keep it going the more you report this bullshit, obviously race baiting narrative the more irrelevant you become. People are waking up.
So?
Visiting the location should not be a problem, it is a tourist place for sure. The problem is what he thinks about Hitler.
