Photo: Gabriella Demczuk for New York Magazine/Gabriella Demczuk Madison Cawthorn has a vision of a January 6 that did not happen. One in which he does the noble thing for career and country. He uses his MAGA celebrity for good. He transforms from shitposter to statesman. And he emerges from the U.S. Capitol as America’s savior.
After winning a competitive primary and the November election, he avidly promoted the president’s false claims of voter fraud. In a December speech to Turning Point USA, the right-wing youth organization, he said, “Call your congressman, and feel free — you can lightly threaten them and say, ‘You know what? If you don’t start supporting election integrity, I’m coming after you, Madison Cawthorn is coming after you, everybody’s coming after you.
Cawthorn, who was paralyzed in a 2014 car accident, recalled navigating the escape route with “an abundance of calm” alongside Ted Budd and Richard Hudson, fellow representatives from North Carolina. “They really played a huge role in helping me get over barricades and down some staircases,” he said. “The evacuation route was not very accessible. I’m pretty physically vulnerable, just being in a wheelchair.
A Meadows aide at the time described Cawthorn as “a typical overachiever College Republican type” with a good sense of branding. As an intern, Cawthorn was tasked with assembling each day’s “clips,” the collection of news items relating to the boss. “What I took away from it is it’s almost a scattergraph of where different news outlets and media organizations are,” Cawthorn told me, referring to partisanship.
