Madison Cawthorn Fantasizes About Busting Out Jan. 6 'Political Hostages'

Source: daily beast



‘BUST THEM OUT’

The far-right congressman said he was “actively working” on calling for MAGA supporters to descend on D.C. again, suggesting another Jan. 6-type rally.

Updated Aug. 30, 2021 5:57PM ET / Published Aug. 30, 2021 4:56PM ET




MAGA-boosting Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) seemingly proposed another “Stop the Steal”-type rally in D.C. this week while sympathizing with the “political hostages” that were arrested and charged for participating in the violent Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

.................................
.............................


Speaking at a North Carolina GOP event on Sunday evening, Cawthorn—a featured speaker at the rally that preceded the Jan. 6 violence—was asked by one attendee what he was doing to free the hundreds of rioters currently facing criminal charges.

“Political hostages,” Cawthorn shouted to applause in a viral video posted to Twitter by a Democratic congressional staffer. “So this is something that we are trying to figure everything out about.”

After saying that his office is “seeking answers” from federal investigators, the Republican lawmaker claimed they “don’t know where all the political prisoners are” before pondering about how to release them.

“And so, if we were actually to be able to go and try to bust them out—,” he exclaimed before quickly pivoting. “Let me tell you, the reason why they’re taking these political prisoners is they’re trying to make an example. Because they don’t want to see the mass protests going on in Washington.”.................................

Holy shit. Madison Cawthorn yesterday:

"If our election systems continue to be rigged, then it's going to lead to one place and that's bloodshed... There's nothing I would dread doing more than having to pick up arms against a fellow American."

ARREST THIS FUCKING TRAITOR.
Now.

During a long riff at 1:11:10 about covid Cawthorn says wearing masks is "anti-science" because if you eat at a Mexican restaurant you can smell the food through the mask which proves that particles pass through them so they don't work

At 1:04:00 he gets a question about vaccine passports and calls for boycotts of businesses that require vaccines. He shares a quote he finds inspiring: "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes your duty." He then encourages onlookers to engage in "a little civil disobedience"

He's an obvious manipulator and deserves to spend time contemplating life in a chair from behind federal bars. He has monied friends in NC GOP circles and has been selected and protected for awhile. He's a dangerous personality to have on the political stage anywhere and a documented neo-nazi.

IMO a close look at his finances would show serious fraud.

FQX nonsense has been telling their viewers for months it was Biden Antifa supporters who stormed the Capitol.
Now they'll be telling their viewers the need to bust them out of jail because they're political hostages. And the
big question is, will any of FQX's viewers see the hypocrisy? We're against them, but now we're for them.

It is a felony to incite insurrection.

Lawmakers are not immune to prosecution for the felonies they commit while in office. Ask Larry Craig.

If anyone attempts to bust out the insurrectionists we already have locked up on the urging of this infant, push his ass right into the ADA cell at the jail he went to.

Like many RepubliQons, he is for corporate freedom and personhood until it touches him. Then he reveals he is too stupid to know he is a hypocrite.

I wish all traitors were as stupid as Madison Cawthorn, Empty Greene, and the Boebert woman.

Waiting for the next unnecessary mass slaughter is too late. I don't care if he's in Congress, I don't care if he's in a wheelchair, I don't care if he's nuts. Charge him with inciting violence.

And aggressively prosecuting the seditionist scum should be (and should have been) the number one priority of the DOJ - absolutely nothing else matters at this time. Unfortunately that has not been the case and with each passing day the insurrectionists and their enablers become more emboldened. If they don't achieve their fascists' objectives through voter suppression and intimidation, they will once again resort to force.
