Dashcam Video Shows Madison Cawthorn Surrendering His Driver’s License

Newly released dashcam footage from the North Carolina Highway Patrol shows Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) surrendering his driver’s license after being pulled over last month, The Charlotte Observer reported. Cawthorn, whose license was revoked at the time, was charged with a misdemeanor for unlicensed driving. In the footage, Cawthorn’s pickup truck can be seen veering over the center line, after which a trooper pulls the vehicle over. When the trooper informs Cawthorn that his license is invalid, the freshman legislator responds, “Is that so?” Cawthorn is set to appear in court on May 6. It is the second time he has been charged with driving with a revoked license.

1. He'd probably be dead if he were an African-American

But laws are just for peons.
Remember now - ReTHUGs aren’t required to set an example for constituents

10. Truth.

2. Second time?

[Hekate]

3. Veering over the center line? He's a real hazard to others. Who's running against this little turd?

4. They should get Kyle Rittenhouse to primary him.

He'd win the nomination. He should move there. I'm sure they'd waive any residency time requirements if he moved by June.

5. Excellent idea

It's funny - because it is true!

13. He fortunately isn't old enough

Rittenhouse is either 19 or 20. Gotta be 25 to be in the House of Representin’.

14. Rats!

Top tier idiot before his time.

6. Lock him up!

What part of "illegal" does Rep. Cawthorne not understand?

What else to the law-n-order types like to say about people charged with misdemeanors?

12. If he was African American

He would have been killed.

7. Chick-fil-a?

8. If a Democratic Congressperson did this once, GQP would be screaming high holy hell.

What an infuriating double standard.

9. In my old home state of Texas police 'farm' the poor for revenue by suspending drivers licenses

Typically 25% of Houston's Harris County jail inmates are there for driving with a suspended license.

11. That won't stop him.

Republicans don't care about any law, so why do they think confiscating a piece of paper will stop him from driving again?

Confiscate his specially equipped vehicle. That will stop him.

And if this is his second infraction, why isn't it aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a felony?
