His family has some money. He got grants to remodel his parent' home in Flat Rock after his accident. I've driven past his house on Rugby a million times. He's a tool.

His "wealth" is entirely due to his settlement with the insurance company after his car crash.
He's lied about that, too, throwing his best buddy under the bus saying he ran off and left him to die when his father told the Citizen Times the friend saved him. He then sued the insurance company for more. He's a grifter.

NPR has a story on what a piece of work he is, as does Jezebel, and the Asheville Paper. Even the local Hendersonville paper had a front page about Edwards regretting the Cawthorn decision.

He's a pretty face and an empty suit covering victimhood. The GOP is all about appearances, like adult children of alcoholics. He's nice looking at first glance, and the wheel chair protects him. "Oh, they're picking on poor, poor, pitiful Madison for being handicapped" or some such.

Chuck Edwards and the local GOP power players picked him and groomed him. He's dumb (home schooled, and a D average in college). He lied about getting into the Naval Academy--he was rejected when he HAD two good legs. His money is from lawsuits. He owns one piece of property via his real estate firm worth ~$40,000. He owes property taxes in the County. He's the worst kind of ooze.

He's a scofflaw. Laws for thee, but not for me.

The "lightly threaten" comment is going to land him in some hot water. The sooner the better.
