1. Exactly what I'd expect from a moral and intellectual vape like Cawthorne. (nt)

[berni_mccoy]

2. The only hole that needs filling is the one between his ears.

It’s like an empty cavity of endless depth where his brain should be.

[COL Mustard]

45. Put Some Caulk In It

To stop the leakage. Or put a UV light where T***p suggested last year.

[packman]

3. Christ - Packing my first-aid kit now - How many bandages???

[EYESORE 9001]

4. I think someone applied a tourniquet to his neck at some point

and left it tightened a tad too long.

[dalton99a]

5. Just fill them. Use rags, leaves, newspapers

if you don't have a Bandaid

No biggie

[Haggard Celine]

6. Fucking Jackass

This fool is a bottomless well of idiocy. He's in a wheelchair for his paralyzed legs; a pity there isn't a remedy for his worthless head.

[Claire Oh Nette]

16. He hides behind that wheelchair.

He's offered up enough idiocy that everything about him is up for grabs.

He is a sociopath.

[Haggard Celine]

18. I agree.

I don't think he has any redeeming qualities. He's like Trump in that respect.

[Claire Oh Nette]

19. He's my rep

He lives in town.

He owns a home in Hendersonville.
He has not paid his property taxes on that home. They were due in September. Since he had no job before January, I'm not sure how he afforded the mortgage on his $425K home.

He is dangerously ignorant.

[COL Mustard]

46. I Would Have To Consider Moving

But I’m not sure where you could go in NC with better representation.

[Claire Oh Nette]

47. I like the Asheville area

My home is California, but I left to be closer to family in 2012. Not an option to go home, even if I go to Hollister or Murrieta whre my friends are.
Cawthorn is pissing off his local republican handlers, too. He won't be re-elected. I'm holding out hope he'll be indicted on seditious conspiracy, too.

Not interested in the Triangle.
Not interested in Charlotte.
I like Asheville--hippies, UNCA, and plenty of good golf. Better to write his office let him know which parts of Biden's agenda I'd like him to support, and troll the shit out of him on twitter, to spread the word abut what a skeevy fascist tool he is.

[COL Mustard]

54. We Can Hope He's A One-Term Wonder

And we own property in the OBX (NC-3), which is just as bad. I'm sorry there's such a crappy representative in the US Congress.

[Claire Oh Nette]

55. Six candidate have filed to run for his seat.

Five democrats and a republican.

[COL Mustard]

58. Excellent!!!

Maybe get rid of the little dirtbag.

[Claire Oh Nette]

60. Two good ones, and the GOP woman may kick his ass in the primary

He's so bad he makes me I could do a better job.

[Justice matters.]

25. Apparently, there are like 50 millions of these jackasses who voted for the con man. nt

[PatSeg]

7. Things people at absolutely insane

[RockRaven]

8. This fuckwitted ghoul is suggesting that the big problem with mass shootings is

exsanguination from limb wounds. What an asshat.

[Initech]

9. So we can't take away guns but we can train people to be field medics. Makes sense.

Argh fuck the fucking NRA!!!

[cstanleytech]

10. Trauma training is a good idea for people to have for

things like rendering aid at something like an auto accident but we should not be needing it due to gun violence that is preventable.

[flying_wahini]

11. Guess he will write a bill requiring teachers and grocery store workers to have Medic training?

Nobody would save His sorry ass.

[Claire Oh Nette]

17. Teachers have to have CPR/Basic first aid

He's a solutions kind of guy.

[BobTheSubgenius]

12. "Rather than deal with the gun epidemic, everyone TRIAGE!"

Cawthorne is flying too far under the radar, if you ask me.

[calimary]

31. I think he's given all kinds of free passes because he's in a wheelchair.

Sympathy excuse points.

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. So, the exact kind of treatment that the GOP whines about when the shoe is on the other foot.

Or whatever. I'm sure you're right.

[MiHale]

13. Getting very good at anguished sighs...

getting plenty of practice.

[YoshidaYui]

14. OH hey i mean, why DON'T THEY JUST BRING their own

fucking BODYBAGS with them??? assholes.

[central scrutinizer]

15. Rub some dirt on it

And get back in the game.

[Midnight Writer]

20. Give this poor fellow a break! After all, he is competing with Boebert, Greene, Gohmert, Miller...

[Mad Kirrua]

21. Guns beat Arrows

Otherwise, I would be speaking my tongue instead of the occupier's. It's not hard to see why Caucasoids like Cawthorn think the way they do.

[Thomas Hurt]

22. The Wheelchair fascist speaks...and says nothing of consequence.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

23. Dumb as a sack of hammers.

Probably dumber.

[NCjack]

27. As big a liar as Donny.

[usaf-vet]

24. I was a trained military medic. When I got out of the military I tried to stay in the medical field.

But I could not find a job that recognizes military medics training and skills. Granted, this was in the 1960s, the Vietnam war raging, and the life-saving skills medics were taught and allowed to use were far more advanced than civilian laws would allow even today.

For example, how would the Congressman apply a tourniquet to treat a pneumothorax?

Or treat severe abdominal gunshot wounds?

Or treat a possible broken neck or back without doing more harm.

Or maintain an open airway, or treat severe burns.

The best thing the Congressman can do to save lives is to support ALL FEDERAL funding for EMS services. Train and adequately pay EMT and Paramedics. Fund these services in all small communities with FEDERAL dollars.

And to save lives in rural areas, upgraded cell services and 911 service to reach every area. So in the advent of an accident, the first life-saving measure would be to dial 911 and get TRAINED help on the way.

ONE FINAL POINT PASS LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS MILITARY COMBAT MEDIC TO MOVE TO CIVILIAN PARAMEDICS JOBS without insulting their skills by sending them back be RETRAINED.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

29. A couple of months ago, I looked into taking EMT training.

In northern Virginia, it's offered by the local community college. The college has many campuses, and the one with the medical training is not the most convenient one for me.

People who want to be EMTs and people who want to be paramedics start out with the same training. If all you want is the basic EMT training, you bail out after a semester. If you want to be a paramedic, you're in training for five semesters.

Before I looked into the courses, I was not aware of the distinction between EMTs and paramedics.

It didn't matter, as all the openings had been filled.

I do have to agree with Cawthorn that a basic level of training is not a bad idea. All I wanted was enough training not to be useless at the scene of a traffic accident. I wan't looking for a job as either an EMT or a paramedic.

Thanks for writing.

[usaf-vet]

40. If you have a cellphone call 911. Tell them where you are. How many injuries. Answer all questions

... the 911 operator asks. This will help them to dispatch the proper equipment.

I won't attempt to tell you what to do next because the situation may change depending on what is happening.

Here is one simple example. If it is a car accident, you might not want to do anything other than try and comfort the injured, apply pressure to severe bleeding, and tell them EMTs are on the way. BUT if the car was to be on fire, you might need to get the injured OUT to a safe spot. BUT it possible that a back or neck injury might be made worse by moving a patient. BUT it is better than leaving them to burn in a car that is on fire.

This is where training will help you triage (evaluate) all the factors.

Most people have a tourniquet on them or handy. For example, your belt, scarf, rope, and strap on a pocketbook are examples of a usable tourniquet. If you do apply a tourniquet, NOTE THE TIME so you can tell the EMT or paramedics.

What I always carry in my car and or in a fanny pack is rubber (surgical) gloves in a sealed ziplock bag. To protect yourself and the injured party from blood-borne diseases. Good safe first aide requires some training and PRACTICE!

[4Q2u2]

56. it depends on the State for Skills transfer

Combat triage now is quick clot. Tampons work great for bullet holes.
Almost never due turniquets now unless it is the only way to save their life, no more realeasing it every few hours. Once on it stays on and bound.

[NCjack]

26. We should all carry spare face masks, so we can mask-up the

ignorant asshole Repukes who go into shops and cafes with no damn masks. Right Asswipe Rep. Cawthorn?

[dflprincess]

28. So the entire country will be one giant MASH unit

This jerk can be Frank, but who gets to be Hawkeye?

[bucolic_frolic]

30. Sadist with IQ of 65 - jaw-dropping stupidity

[BradBo]

32. Literally one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

[orleans]

34. such an asshole...

Link to tweet

[Turbineguy]

35. There may be

those who do not enjoy watching people get shot.

[sarge43]

36. When you think they can't get anymore stupid,

they'll surprise you, but never disappoint.

[Handler]

37. Really

This is the solution you have come up with to counter this horrendous situation we find ourselves in. You sir have reset the bar for dumb asses all over the word. Your folks must be proud.

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. Must have hit his head in that car wreck too n/t

[infullview]

39. Kind of reminds me of the Nazi Greg Marmalard in Animal House.

[catbyte]

41. Dumbass.

Thanks for nothing to the morons in North Carolina who inflicted this clown upon us.

[tavernier]

42. His mother dropped him on his head

when he was a baby.

[Ilsa]

51. Same must have happened to those who voted for him. nt

[Claire Oh Nette]

61. Dropped him...

repeatedly??

He strikes me as having learning disabilities. I say that as a teacher, not a democrat who hates his guts. My guess? Dyslexia or some other processing disorder. His kind of people would never, ever admit they need Special Ed resources; they homeschool instead.
It's not his accident that gives him the hand writing of a third grader practicing cursive.

He's just not that smart. He chooses to be ignorant, but if his IQ is above 90, I'm the virgin Mary.

[lonely bird]

43. Is there a line somewhere for crotch punting Maddy Cawthorn?

[Politicub]

44. This mental midget represents my mom's district

He’s the tooliest of tools.

[Johonny]

48. Will there be a tax write off for we the people supplying ourselves to deal with the aftermath

of all the mass shootings or does this all come out of our own pocket?

[Ilsa]

49. I guess those with O negative blood will have to wear a special patch

indicating that they are universal donors. The tourniquet congressman will have others hold them down while their blood is transfused involuntarily.

[riversedge]

50. well if you just carried that bag of O neg blood with you -all will be well.

[Aussie105]

52. The picture of Smiley Boy frightens me.

The lights are on but nobody is home.

The 'humane' thing to do is to make sure shootings don't happen, surely?

But if you must have them, some religious training so bystanders can give the last rites to the deceased would be useful, I guess.
Plus the bandages, and the O neg bottles. And body bags.
Don't forget the concealed carry firearms so you can join in the fun!
I think we are all set for the next one. The next mass shooting, that is.

History will judge this one harshly, I hope.

Republicans - each one shaping their little part of America into their own version of Hell on Earth.

[panfluteman]

53. The Party Establishment Must Have Come Down on Him Like a Ton of Bricks

And told him that he MUST toe the party line on gun control. He must have really struggled to come up with something positive to say under the extenuating circumstances.

[Mickju]

57. That's gotta be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my long life.

[Best_man23]

59. Someone needs to inform Madison

Tourniquets and bandages don't work on things like sucking chest wounds,

Or exit wounds the size of a softball (wound that often occurs when a bullet from an assault weapon begins to tumble),

Or head wounds.

Then he needs to be told what he said would be considered idiotic back in the day when you needed a ramrod to load a rifle or pistol.

[keithbvadu2]

62. He doesn't realize that Hitler would send his handicapped self to the ovens?
