Republican Madison Cawthorn Who Visited Hitler's Vacation Home Is Now the Youngest Member of Congress

The future youngest member of Congress had a message for his opponents after he won his race for a House seat in North Carolina Tuesday night: “Cry more, lib.”

Republican Madison Cawthorn, 25, defeated Democrat Moe Davis to win North Carolina’s 11th District, a seat once held by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Embraced by the right as a rising star after his surprise victory in the primary, Cawthorn has already seen his fair share of controversy for his visit to a property where Adolf Hitler vacationed as well as his campaign’s description of New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker.

Cawthorn has also faced criticism for apparently referring to the far-right on Instagram and in the name of his LLC, which were first uncovered by Jezebel. The 11th district, however, is dominated by Republicans, which meant that Cawthorn’s win was expected after the primary.

Alongside a photo of himself visiting a home in Germany once patronized by Hitler—who Cawthorn called “the Führer”—the young Republican also wrote that seeing the property “has been on my bucket list for awhile.” The photo predated the campaign by several years, although Instagram’s method of dating makes it difficult to decipher exactly when it was posted.

“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,” he wrote in the caption.

1. Fuck off, Madison Cawthorn.

Because all Nazi punks should fuck off.

2. You would think ..

... some older, wiser advisor would take him aside and say "Look, you punk. You may have been elected but as far as we are concerned you are the lowest of the low. So shut your yap."

But that probably won't happen.

5. Wow. So this is what some folks in NC want to send as their

Congressional representative? Such class. Not. What a complete little jerk this kid is. He needs to learn some humility.

6. His name is "Madison", for fucks sake.

Is it any surprise that he’s a douchebag?

9. Good point

I am an old lady who has watched more people turn into bullies over the last 40 years. It feels like half this country has less maturity than 2nd graders. Not accurate, but the current state of things is frustrating.

7. What a piece of garbage. (eom)

as the "fresh young new faces" of the Repuke party.
