Calls to expel ‘traitorous’ Madison Cawthorn grow after he warns of ‘bloodshed’ and lies about ‘rigged’ election

August 31, 2021


Remarks made by U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) are being seen as so volatile and destructive some are calling for his expulsion from Congress.


The North Carolina Republican lawmaker was warned to stop campaigning across the country and start paying attention to his own constituents. On Sunday, The Washington Post reports, Cawthorn told his local Macon County Republican Party "that elections in the United States are 'rigged' and said there will be 'bloodshed' if the country's electoral system continues on its current path."

Immediately after holding a shotgun Cawthorn said, "I will tell you, as much as I am willing to defend our liberty at all costs, there is nothing that I would dread doing more than having to pick up arms against a fellow American. And the way that we can have recourse against that is if we all passionately demand that we have election security in all 50 states."

After urging President Joe Biden's Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, Cawthorn promised, “I will remove Joe Biden from office, and then, when Kamala Harris inevitably screws up, we will take them down, one at a time."..........................................

Piss off, fucker!

[monkeyman1]

29. this is now beyond that ! congress has ethics !

McQuarthy won't do anything - doj should as in -ASAP ! we can not tolerate this shit no more ! end of the line ! bring charges & jail !

[live love laugh]

34. "Spoiled brat" !!!!?!!!!?? He's a traitor and terrorist. nt

[LeftishBrit]

42. Sounds a bit worse than a spoiled brat. He's basically making terrorist threats

God, I get sick of our feckless UK government, and our Tories, and our Brexit; but suddenly they seem sane compared with your Republicans!

[Hekate]

2. KnR

[littlemissmartypants]

3. Thank you, Representative Swalwell. ❤

[FloridaBlues]

4. McCarthy is too busy lying about Pres Biden to care about his caucus

[LenaBaby61]

26. This 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[hibbing]

5. Perhaps take your frustration out on a tree you big bad man n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. Let us build pressure on McCarthy to remove this idiot....

from Committee posts. Inciting physical harm and violence is NOT appropriate behavior of a member of Congress.

This is seditious talk here and the DoJ needs to get on this.

[IcyPeas]

7. I'm still pissed off that nothing was done about MTGreene calling the President a piece of sh*t

why wasn't she censured or reprimanded at all.

These assholes NEVER HAVE ANY CONSEQUENCES from to top down they get away with their lies and bullshit.

but if a Dem says "boo" they want them kicked out.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. x1000!

[Fritz Walter]

8. Rep. Cawthorn expected to recover from Secret Service colonoscopy

If the Secret Service doesn't treat this as an open threat to a sitting POTUS, then we know there's a breakdown there.
Otherwise, you might want to follow the pre-op instructions, Rep. Cawthorn.

[Gregory Peccary]

9. Of course these fucks who spout off about elections being rigged never question their own election.

[BlueJac]

10. Just another worthless turd.

[Harker]

11. It's all theatre or "reality" TV for some of these people. n/t

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Yeah, but it's really damaging when there are no rails or accountability.

[Harker]

18. Absolutely.

They need to know that politics aren't a game for people who have to live with the results of their actions.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. I am waiting for that kind of meaningful accountability. It seems to be lacking at present.

[hadEnuf]

24. They know what's coming and they are ginning up the crazies in the base.

The longer we wait to hold Trump and the rest of his scum accountable the more they get to reframe the narrative and start some sort of uprising with their useful idiots. Our momentum is starting to slip.

Hold them accountable now because it will be almost impossible to do later.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. that's how it feels at present. It's been almost 8 months

[Harker]

25. Any time now would be good.

Some stiff sentences for insurrectionists would help.

[Cha]

12. Rt TY Kick him OUT, Asheville NC!

[Martin Eden]

15. Stochastic terrorism

Cawthorne's rhetoric will result in bloodshed. He might not know where, when, or by whom, but his words put fingers on the trigger. Or bomb.

[OverBurn]

16. Kick his idiot crippled ass out. I can say that, I'm crippled.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. well said.

[catbyte]

17. That little Nazi fuck needs to go. He's a seditonist and stochastic terrorist.

[brooklynite]

19. "Calls to expel" are pointless

You won’t get 1/3 of House Republicans to vote with the Democrats.

[toasty]

35. So then jail him

Let him represent his idiotic constituents from a jail cell.

[Blue Owl]

20. Someone in the Slobfather's mob family needs to be made an example of

I'd prefer it be MTG, Gymbag, or Boebert, but any will do...

[hadEnuf]

23. This nazi piece of trash's idea of defending liberty is to overthrow a duly elected POTUS?

There's another name for that and it isn't defending liberty.

[Progressive Jones]

27. He really needs to understand what he's saying. These are actual Fighting Words.

Fighting Words have a specific legal definition, and legal consequences.

30. 14th Amendment, Section 3.

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

[MrModerate]

32. So apparently Cawthorn needs two-thirds of each house of Congress to keep his seat? n/t

[maxsolomon]

33. If Pelosi wants to push it, that's how I read it.

This was passed to punish Confederates who waltzed back into Congress after the Civil War.

[MrModerate]

39. I'm liking this. Pelosi is tough enough to do it, too, if she thinks it's politically advantageous.

[FBaggins]

37. If he's ever convicted of insurrection, yes

Short of that... unlikely.

[FBaggins]

38. That Section 5 seems to be a problem for this theory

What legislation has Congress passed that will cause him a problem?

There's the Insurrection Act... but he would have to be convicted of violating that first - and they haven't even charged the 1/6 rioters with insurrection so far.

[MrModerate]

31. In Republican-speak: "Vote for us or we'll kill you." At least Cawthorn's upfront about it. n/t

[OldBaldy1701E]

36. Awww

The widdle boy wants to play army men. I am placing bets now as to how many seconds it will take for him to drop said gun and wheel away as fast as his arms can push himself once a bullet whizzes past his head. I guarantee that it won't be longer than 5 seconds. Sorry little boy, daddy isn't going to be able to save you from your mouth.

[packman]

40. Put a brown shirt ,and draw a toothbrush mustache under his nose

and call him what he really is

[CRK7376]

41. Sorry my state sent this piece of crap

to Congress. Fortunately he is not my Rep. Unfortunately for me I have another NC wackadoodle that is my Rep and she is disgusting!!! Maybe one day my district will finally rid ourselves of Virginia Foxx.

[TexasBushwhacker]

43. I'm beginning to think he had a head injury

in that accident that left him partially paralyzed. Seriously, the dude is mental.
