Angry GOP responds to Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s orgy claims: “Name names”
After Rep. Madison Cawthorn went on a podcast and alleged that some of his Republican colleagues in Congress are orgy-frequenting degenerates with a fondness for hard drugs, members of the House GOP had a simple response on Tuesday.That’s what Rep. Dan Crenshaw said when asked about Cawthorn’s bomb-throwing remarks, which, in implicating no one specifically, ended up casting a bizarre cloud of suspicion over all of his fellow colleagues.
According to Politico, lawmakers stood up unprompted and vented their frustration that their 26-year old colleague from North Carolina would suggest that lawmakers “leading on the movement to try and remove addiction” would “do a key bump of cocaine in front of you” or that people “I’ve looked up to through my life” in Congress had invited him to a “sexual get-together” at their homes as Cawthorn told the Warrior Poet Society podcast.
“I don’t know anything about what Madison referenced,” said Rep. Jim Jordan , a leader of the right-most flank of the conference that includes Cawthorn. “I’ve heard about it; I haven’t seen the video.” The vision of a sordid and seedy D.C. that Cawthorn painted in his interview—which he openly compared to the over-the-top Netflix drama—made several long-serving lawmakers laugh in response. By accounts of practically anyone who’s been part of it, D.C. politics is much more likeRep. Louie Gohmert said Tuesday’s caucus meeting was the first he’d heard of Cawthorn’s comments.
