Madison Cawthorn, Chick-fil-A enthusiast

[marmar]

Madison Cawthorn spent campaign donations he was supposed to return on 'egregiously' frequent trips to Chick-fil-A and other businesses and now can't pay donors back, report says


Madison Cawthorn may be in violation of campaign laws as a result of the "outrageous" spending of campaign funds meant to be used during his now-defunct general election campaign, an anonymous source told the Daily Beast.

According to the source, the North Carolina GOP Representative's campaign had so little money during the end of his primary that they were forced to spend general fund money during the primary.

However, election laws do not allow for those funds to be spent until the general election. If a candidate loses their primary, they must return it to donors. ......(moe)

3. Maybe Chick-fil-A would consider hiring him to dress in a chicken suit

and be their new mascot. Earn a few bucks to pay everybody back, and get free food too! Think about it, Maddie.
