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."..........................................

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

Otherwise, you might want to follow the pre-op instructions, Rep. Cawthorn.

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

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.

(26,714 posts)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.

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.
