Seeing how the media reacts to what looks like Madison Cawthorn in a three-way that's on Twitter ATM

[Hugh_Lebowski]

Is going to be hilarious.

Not posting a link to the tweet as I see that gets removed by the mods, but if you seek out the twitter feed of @madamdelicious you'll find it.

There's a wheelchair, the guy looks like him, and it sounds like one of his two male partners says 'Madison stick it in his face'.

He's also making goofy ... let's call them 'tribal-like' noises in it.

And there also appears to be a (fourth) camera person filming.

This is gonna be really amusing watching this play out.

Edit: Twitter has removed it. But not before 200K views.

Again, gonna be interesting.

1. Was this filmed on his honeymoon?

Inquiring minds, and all..... Also could explain the short marriage.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Maybe his new bride is the cameraperson ... that would be classic (nt)

[Mr.Bill]

2. I don't really care about his sex life.

I care that he drives a car that is unregistered 30+ mph above the speed limit with a revoked license. I care that he tries to bring loaded guns onto airplanes. I care that he tried to overthrow the government of the USA.

3. Madison Cawthorn's reaction

54 minutes ago he tweeted:
“ A new hit against me just dropped.

Years ago, in this video, I was being crass with a friend, trying to be funny.

We were acting foolish, and joking.

That’s it.

I’m NOT backing down.

I told you there would be a drip drip campaign.

Blackmail won't win. We will.”

So apparently it’s him in the video. He’s not even trying to deny it. I’m not going to watch. There isn’t enough eye bleach on earth for that…

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. It's not so explicit you can't watch ... it's really pretty funny actually

But this is NOT how guys joke around.

Not straight guys anyway.

And looking closely, I'm about 85% sure it's not ONE friend, it's two.

I don't care about his sex life either but it's amusing just how phony his persona is ... he really should just come out and own it at this point.

6. Last poll I saw had Cawthorn ahead of his nearest primary opponent by double digits.

He was recently endorsed by the NRA (they must approve of those guns at the airport), and Trump has endorsed and campaigned with him. The media better start covering Madison's antics before it's too late.

[yardwork]

9. It doesn't really matter, sadly.

If they primary Cawthorn a more effective Republican will take his place. It's a deep red gerrymandered district.

[LeftInTX]

14. Connect other pukes to Madison!

That's what I will do

[speak easy]

7. Conclusion: The GOP coke'n'sex party ppl don't like snitches

like they REALY don't like snitches.

[malaise]

10. That's what he gets for exposing ReTHUG

orgies, if he were a rep from the Democratic Party, he would have to resign right now.

[BlackSkimmer]

11. Sorry, I think this video is bullshit.

If it takes him down, good; he’s a cretin, but the man in that video has clear use of his legs.

Parking a wheelchair by the bed doesn’t make it Cawthorn.

[LeftInTX]

13. I have been put into Tony Gonzales (R-puke)district

I will equate Tony with Madison....

Madison admits it is him.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

15. I asked my girlfriend, who's a PA, whether it was possible that's him given he is wheelchair-bound

And she assured me that it's possible, depends on where the spinal damage is, essentially.

" (Yes) If the injury hit low enough to just affect the legs and not the hips ... Which is the case for most that can still get a hard on"

This is why I posted, I was also skeptical.

Further, he appears to have admitted it's him per a post upthread.

17. I had a male friend years ago who was a paraplegic.

Yes, he could “perform” but there is no way he’s kneeling like in that video. No way.

I think his own party is taking him down, so who cares. But I detest the whole “oh he’s gay” thing. Just today, I saw a longtime DUer refer to Graham as “Lady G.”

I know people think they’re being cute or clever, but it’s neither.

[CrackityJones75]

19. Apparently he has said it is him.

So there’s that.

[BlackSkimmer]

23. Link?

[CrackityJones75]

42. it's in the thread now

post 28.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. All I'm saying is that it'll be amusing watching the media react to this ...

Hell, to me it looks a fun time, and I don't give a shit about the gay aspect.

But ... I'm going to go out on a limb and say my very accomplished PA girlfriend (to the point that she watched the 2014 SOTU from Michelle Obama's personal box, due at least in part to her professional acumen) probably knows what she's talking about on this subject.

You can also pretty clearly hear the word 'Madison' in the video.

[BlackSkimmer]

24. I know you're not one to make a thing out of the gay aspect. I respect you for it.

At any rate, doesn’t matter.

He’s obviously being taken down, and I’m glad for that. Such a rw thing to use the gay angle, but oh well.

[Tarc]

28. He's already admitted it is genuine, trying to play it off

as "its just boys locker room talk" kinda thing.

35. When did he have the accident? This could have happened prior.

[ms liberty]

12. This might be getting to be too much for his constituents

They don't really care about most of this stuff if there's enough deniability and you're doing it on the QT, but don't shove this stuff in your community's face publicly. That's a cardinal sin here in the south.

[BannonsLiver]

16. Oh I rather doubt that.

His constituents and the constituents of MTG put them in the Congress solely to “own the libs”. There was never any expectation that they would actually do things for their districts because the type of people who vote for that kind don’t care anything about that. In their eyes Gaetz and MTG are performing well.

[ms liberty]

20. I live in rural NC. My daddy used to go hunting with a fella at his place in what is MTG's district

There is a limit to what these folks will publicly put up with being forced to condone. The minute they realize he's making fools of them all, that young man is done. The NC GOP is out for blood and I'm not betting against them in this fight. I'm just gonna stand back and watch. And laugh sometimes.

[BannonsLiver]

38. That's the last war.

The current war is they love that she annoys you and will “put up” (AKA relish) with anything to continue that.

[ms liberty]

41. And I'm not talking about MTG. I'm talking about Maddie Cawthorn

And the rural NC voters. His video antics with his boyfriend is not going to go over well. Have you lived in rural NC for long? Or NC at all? Maybe you're unaware that the NCGOP has basically declared war on him here? As I said above, the NC GOP is out to get rid of him, and these videos and photos are their opening salvo. They believe their voters in NC won't like it, or they wouldn't be using them.
And as a Democrat, I'm going to stay out of the way, and laugh.

18. Here's a safe version

29. LOLOL

33. LOL.

[FoxNewsSucks]

22. "He's also making goofy ... let's call them 'tribal-like' noises in it. "

Sounded like this to me

[Pachamama]

32. That's the primal call of Cawthorn!!!!

[LeftInTX]

37. This too

[BlackSkimmer]

25. Reccing your OP because I like how you're looking forward to how the media handles it.

Should be a blast. Really, we couldn’t make this shit up!

They seemed to ignore the grabassing in the car that came out last week. Odd.

[keithbvadu2]

26. MC said he and his crotch grabbing staffer grew up like brothers. Josh Duggar can speak up for him

27. Is this what prompted Preet Bharara's tweet:

30. OK I haven't seen it, and I don't think I want to

... but I'll take your word for it.

All I know is, a lot of people are really good at photoshopping and digital retouching these days.

[tblue37]

36. Apparently he admits it's real but says it was just horsing around.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

31. These videoes sure get people sounding like ableist homophobes.

[58Sunliner]

34. I understand how one could see it that way. Most just really hate MC and his hypocrisy.

They are gleeful that it may take him down.

[Tree-Hugger]

39. +1 nt

[W_HAMILTON]

40. I'd be surprised if they even react to it.

It seems like they just shoulder shrug when Republicans did outrageous shit like this, but if a Democrat sends EMAILS -- story of the century shit right there.
