The revelations, made public in an interview by the Republican congressman last Friday, continue to cause controversy Madison Cawthorn. The 26yearold North Carolina MP, a supporter of Donald Trumpsponsored policies, admitted during a podcast hosted by representatives of the Warrior Poet Society that he was frequently invited to Washington to “festivals based on sex and drugs”.
In the interview with Cawthorn, he was asked to point out similarities between the TV series House of Cards, set in the corrupt and immoral edifice of US politics, and the real life of institutional Stars and Stripes. The Republican then admitted to having been invited to “orgies” frequently cocaine‘, organized a few steps from federal power centers and attended by influential congressmen: ‘As a 26yearold boy in Washington, where the median age is 60 or 70, one is often invited to participate in ‘sexual encounters.’ at someone’s home. And when you arrive you realize you’ve been in an orgy.
The proTrump MP also said in his first term that parliamentarians would also participate in those parties that thunder against drug use in front of cameras every day: “Then you see some of those who fight against drugs with a shot of cocaine in front of them to have is crazy.” Cawthorn later revealed to interviewers that he repeatedly witnessed “sexual perversions” in the shadows of Washington’s political buildings. The 26yearold then concluded by saying, “Apart from the honor of serving my constituents, working in Washington is undoubtedly the best worst job in the world“.
The Republican congressman’s words immediately drew sharp condemnation from other members of Congress, including Cawthorn’s own party colleagues. Indeed, GOP leaders immediately branded the North Carolina representative’s words as “unacceptable” and announced the imminent start of a “disciplinary action at his expense. Democrat criticism focuses on highlighting the hypocrisy of conservative politicians, who tend to present themselves publicly as advocates of morality and then privately pursue unethical behavior.
