Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn Accused of Stolen Valor
Congressman Madison Cawthorn (R)
I’ve been seeing quite a few articles on this so thought I would post it here. In a nutshell, a superPAC associated with North Carolina Republican senator Thom Tillis accused Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., of “lying” about his past in a new political ad released just last week. In the ad, seen here, Tillis claims that Cawthorn claimed he got accepted into the US Naval Academy and that leverage swayed in favor of Cawthorn being elected.
Madison Cawthorn called out for “lying” in new ad funded by Republican senator’s super PAC
New GOP-funded attack ad calls Rep. Madison Cawthorn a liar
Last week, Cawthorn, staunch religious conservative, took a beating over recently-surfaced photos of him wearing lingerie in what appeared to be a party setting. The photos were first reported by Politico.
After the pictures were released, Cawthorn suggested that they were part of a left-wing smear campaign.“I guess the left thinks goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise (taken waaay before I ran for Congress) is going to somehow hurt me?” he tweeted. “They’re running out of things to throw at me … Share your most embarrassing vacay pics in the replies.”
This incident prompted various tweets.
Tillis, the senator behind the Super PAC ad, has endorsed Cawthorn’s primary opponent, state Sen. Chuck Edwards, who has also been backed by a number of other Republicans. Last month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., firmly claimed that Cawthorn had “lost my trust.”
Cawthorn is the youngest Republican to ever be elected to the United States Congress and is currently the youngest member of Congress. He is wheelchair-bound since age 18 as a result of injuries sustained in a 2014 car accident returning from a spring break trip to Florida.
In regard to the claim about the US Naval Academy, Wikipedia states:
U.S. Representative Mark Meadows nominated Cawthorn to the United States Naval Academy in 2014, but his application was rejected before his 2014 car accident; Cawthorn had claimed during his congressional campaign in advertisements that the accident “derailed” his plans to attend the Academy. Cawthorn subsequently said that at the time of the injury, he knew only that he had been nominated to the Academy and that he had expected to be accepted, and added that he never said that he had been accepted before the accident took place, but could have applied again later. But in a lawsuit deposition, Cawthorn admitted that he had been rejected before the accident.
Not your normal Stolen Valor claim, but it is for you to form an opinion on. But, there’s a takeaway lesson here…
Tip: If you’ve been accused of snorting cocaine off of a stripper’s butt, you may not want to counter that with “It wasn’t her butt.”

The cross dressed photo is meant to hurt him and the
wheelchair photo is meant to help him. I’m torn…….
Photoshop the two to show him cross dressed in a wheelchair
and start the narrative anew.
Anyone who speaks against him is an ableist transphobe. As Biden might say, “Handicapped cross dressers are just as bright and just as capable as white kids.”
Swallow-well wants to know if those girls were spies just the spy he slept with and contributed to his campaign.
Vacation photos with Ted Kennady?

Why does the name Thom Tillis sound familiar?
Tillis beat out that philander Cal Cunningham in the last NC Senate race.
I think that God is just shaking His head and asking Himself, “What hath I wrought?”
Phildo used to sniff coke off Paul-mer’s ass.
He is a prime candidate for switching partys to the dems. They would absolutely love him.
Does Thom Tillis care about Biden’s lies?
If so, do you think he and others would shell out $300,000 exposing all of Biden’s lies to include the latest about Ole Hunter?

Cooper could have said that he was a barrel cooper and used the butt of the gun to hammer the barrel staves into place and he forgot to take the cooper’s tool/handgun out of his work bag. Easy to explain
LC,
Good call on the “genius”.

Most of what I’ve read about Cawthorn is unflattering but it’s a stretch to call this “stolen valor.”
This is more in line with the guy (and I know you ALL know this guy) that you run into at work/school/barbecue etc who says “I almost went into the [insert elite military unit here] but then I got accepted to college/married/arrested for public urination/promoted to head fry cook” etc.
