GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Receives A Brutal Reminder After Veterans Tweet

Far-right Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s tweet evoking veterans backfired.

The North Carolina Republican appeared to criticize House approval of $40 billion in aid for Ukraine with this post on Wednesday:




In response, he received a series of searing reminders of his own votes against bills that assist former U.S. military service members.

“DON’T EVEN pretend you care about Veterans,” responded VoteVets, a progressive PAC promoting Democratic military veterans for Congress.

... I am stuffed to the gills with contempt for creatures like this. I am TIRED of the Gang Of Putin claiming the mantle of patriotism like the rest of us aren't. I am TIRED of these asshats who never served a second telling me that they love the veterans. I am TIRED of these traitors to everything I served for claiming to be "pro-veteran"! I am TIRED of these people. TIRED!!!!

Has a wheel chair silhouette on his campaign signs for sympathy. And he ain’t in a wheel from serving the country. The local news in Asheville is right wing and owned by Sinclair and I rarely see a Dem add, always pro republican adds. BUT, they have been pretty relentless with Anti Cawthorn adds. He pissed off Art Pope, our very own Koch stain that bought the NC GQP party. Mattie’s predecessor, Mark Meadows (damn gotta be proud here in D-11,) introduced a bill right after he took a senate seat to close the Asheville VA hospital. Rated the very best in the country. Just got back from Primary voting. Only could vote for Dems, sure wish I coulda voted that asshole out. The repukes were all decked in bright red, and gathered at the entrance doors. It was hard for me not to say fuck you all. Concerning there where no outside Dems in support of our candidates. One more day of early voting. Maybe just maybe we will be done with Cawthorn in a few weeks. But his 7-8 opponents are just a combo of Bang Bang Barbie, Mattie Gaetz, MTG and just as dumb as Cawthorn. We owe the country so much for giving it Meadows and Cawthorn. Yet the GQP here is so damn proud.

This attack might sting a bit. He doesn't seem to have that. In fact, it seems to be something lacking in most Conservatives/Republicans these days.

Cawthorn's veteran connection...

“One of the biggest lies I’ve heard was you lying about getting accepted to the Naval Academy. As a veteran myself, that’s a real crappy thing to do,” replied @Amy0227.
