I know this is from The Daily Mail (tabloid trash) but if 1/10 of this is true how can he stay in Congress?
If Cawthorn is gay, likes to cross dress, and enjoys sex w/men fine by me but it is his hypocrisy and it
looks his relationship w/Smith started when Smith was still underage.
Cawthorn is just like Trump in that he is just grifting the hell out of "the rubes."
**********
Among the many allegations is the claim that representative for North Carolina's 11th district provided thousands of dollars in loans and gifts to Smith, a staff member, with whom, the complaint states, he is engaged in an improper relationship characterized by steamy postings on social media and so close that the staffer joined Cawthorn on his honeymoon to Dubai in April 2021.
According to the filing Cawthorn has provided free housing, travel and loans to Smith, none of which have been declared or repaid.
The complaint also requests an investigation into the nature of Cawthorn's relationship with Smith stating that the junior member of staff lives with Cawthorn.

A Venmo payment history between Smith and Cawthorn, attached to the ethics filing and dating from June 2018 is littered with suggestive messages in the form of notes attached to the payments.

(3,697 posts)Whether it is this guy, MTG, Boebert or others, it seems you can now make a living just spouting lies, innuendo and conspiracy theories while pretending to be a member of Congress, the Senate or whatever and never actually doing anything for the electorate other than continually throwing verbal red meat to the base. The fact that they claim the moral high ground but then do or support all sorts of immoral and anti social things is beyond the pale.

(33,254 posts)I have no doubt the GOP long knew this about him, but looked the other way, because he was their shiny, new Golden Boy. That was until he exposed their cocaine orgies. Now, they're doing everything they can to get rid of him, including leaking things for which they previously looked the other way, like these videos.
