Madison Cawthorn, controversial Republican Congressman from North Carolina, has lost the primary election

I heard one of his constituents refer to him as “Heil on Wheels”.

Suit yourself.

Let’s save the schadenfreude until after the general election. The guy who beat him in the primary is likely to be just as bad.

I’m going to save that gif in the off chance that Greg Abbott loses to Beto O’Rourke.

Of course they vetted him. That’s why they had the kompromat ready to roll when he squealed about the coke orgies.

I leave it to your imagination as to what they have in the Lindsay Graham file.

For what it’s worth, the Lincoln project says goodbye to him. I’m going to declare this one NSFW, however, because for a few seconds here there’s what appears to be a (grainy film) naked body doing some humping.

Bring a folding chair and some popcorn.

I asked that upthread and was told the person who beat him is not as bad. The bar is admittedly pretty low though.

When I drove past his HQ, there was a guy in a pickup truck pulling out a bunch of nylon rope from the bed. Either they’re tying up some boxes or they’re all going to hang themselves, I really don’t care which.

Liz Cheney might be enjoying Cawthorn’s defeat, after he mocked her on Twitter a year ago for being removed from her House leadership position by the GOP.

“Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye Liz Cheney,” Cawthorn tweeted at the time."

“This aged ironically,” Star Wars actor Mark Hamill tweeted while sharing a screengrab of Cawthorn’s original post."

I guess it depends how you define “bad.” Edwards didn’t have to talk a lot about his positions because the election was all about Cawthorn, but he seems to be right in the pro-Trump, save-America-from-Biden’s-socialism mainstream of the Republican Party.

Cawthorn was loud, but he didn’t accomplish anything. Arguably having a more effective MAGA-aligned Republican in that seat is worse.

I was thinking that he’ll also do the lecture circuit, for a while, anyway, since we all know he’s incapable of regular employment.

I also would be quite surprised if he sees his 30th birthday, because (among other things) paraplegics have drastically reduced life expectancies.

Don’t add that his marriage ended after less than a year. IDK, and IDC, if they’re offically divorced yet.

She had my lesbian-dar in overdrive anyway.

That bar is so far below ground level they have to winch the drunks up with a hoist.

Stranger

One reason I’m glad to see him go is I always confused him with eyepatch guy.

Wait, isn’t eyepatch guy the Seal with a decent sense of humor?
He seems like a pretty good guy, especially compare to Cawthorn.

ETA: Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas.
ETA: Well he might have a sense of humor, but his record appears to be terrible.

His name isn’t actually Madison?

Huh.

I don’t know. The market’s pretty saturated with right wing idiots.

That’s his middle name; his birth name is David Madison Cawthorn.

Mark Hamill is a national treasure.
