Earlier this summer, homophobic North Carolina congressional candidate and Nazi enthusiast Madison Cawthorn was considered a frontrunner in the race to represent North Carolina’s 11th district and a rising star within the GOP. So much so that was given a primetime speaking spot at the 2020 RNC, during which he mistakenly claimed James Madison signed the Declaration of Independence.
Not long after that, Cawthorn was accused of sexual misconduct… followed by being exposed for going on a pilgrimage to Hitler’s mountain retreat… followed by being dragged online for spreading QAnon conspiracy theories.
Now, a new poll finds the 25-year-old is falling behind his opponent, Moe Davis, in the race to represent North Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The poll was conducted by EMC Research and finds that Davis, who was originally waaaaay behind Cawthorn, is now three points ahead of him among likely voters, though Cawthorn is still within in the 4.9-point margin of error.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Those numbers are even worse for Cawthorn when paired with the fact that he has significantly out-raised Davis by over $1 million and yet he’s still trailing behind him with less than two weeks to go before the election.
These latest poll numbers come on the heels of the Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan online newsletter that forecasts election results, which recently changed the 11th District from “likely Republican” to “leaning Republican.”
The latest polls also come on the heels of a damning report that Cawthorn lied about his experience working for ex-Rep. Mark Meadows.
Throughout his campaign, the young Republican has boasted about being a full-time staffer for Meadows, but last week it was revealed he only worked for Meadows for about two weeks five years ago as “field representative,” during which he made a part-time salary of $1,155.55.
Of course, it’s 2020 and anything can happen. There’s still a good chance Cawthorn can turn things around, but time is definitely running out.

And the gays don’t care because he is a gorgeous white male with a beautiful body.

You really expose yourself when you use an article about an anti-LGBTQ bigot who is a Nazi sympathizer, to attack gay people.
Catholicslutbox
I’ve “exposed” myself all over this site multiple times.
This is no different than the way the gays acted about Aaron. They completely ignored everything he stood once his shirt came off.
The only reason this guy is even on this site is because he is attractive.
WashDrySpin
If it is white and gay…put it in the SPOTLIGHT….if it is black or brown…put it in the BACKGROUND…you are absolutely correct that this is just another pretty white person that Queerty is propping up…
You are ALSO correct that Aaron was heavily featured because many gays wanted to hate him and have sex with him at the same time….
blackhook
“the gays” …what a dimwit!
Cam
@WashDrySpin
SO you’re saying that Queerty SHOULDN’T call out a white supremecit candidate who holds anti-LGBTQ views?

“You gays”? Really? You Catholics are so weird.
ChrisGMN
Are you really dumb enough to believe the gays act en masse? That’s no different from saying “the blacks” or “the jews.” You are terrible, Muriel.

Sad but true, WashDrySpin, about Queerity. There’s much hypocrisy that rears its ‘thirst trap’ head on this site. Period. Still, its fun to read!
JoshGL
Ummm…he has no feeling from his waist down including his penis.
Derek Northcutt
Funny when you first published any mention of this boy a couple of months ago your tongues were hanging out half-a-foot in lust. Now, according to your “reportring,” he’s a neo-nazi who’s visited the Berghof? It keeps to your tradition for dishonesty and lack of integrity that someone who was droolworthy a couple of months ago is now to be pilloried for offences you’ve imagined. Lost your hard-on?

Just because he’s cute doesn’t mean we want to do him. In any case, he wouldn’t be able to be a NAZi because he’s disabled.
James
NAZI TRASH.
BCBinOHP
He’s a FAKE, but I dont think he’s a “Nazi enthusiast” just because he visited “Hitler’s Nest” in Austria. I visited there a few years back – not because I’m a Nazi but because its a tourist attraction with historical significance and amazingly beautiful at the top.
I agree with most of the comments regarding our love/hate comments regarding gay (and straight) men referenced here. Honestly, if I never see or read another article here on Aaron, I just might find true happiness……
Sabelmann
“Hitlers Nest” is in Berchtesgaden GERMANY!
Cam
Except he stated that visiting there was one of the things he wanted to do in life and spoke about Hitler’s retreat with reverence.
Polaro
I prefer my closeted homophobic Nazis with working legs.
terry751
Wow, that was rather cold but I’m inclined to agree. I agree with most of the people here that many gay men tend to have very bad memories when it comes to these public figures. While I agree with BCBinOHP that just because one visits Hitler’s Nest doesn’t make them a nazi, Cawthorne’s past statements have bugged me. As for him being closeted, I highly doubt it. That’s one guy I hope isn’t on our team.
griffin87
Haha ironically, he wouldn’t have survived Hitler’s regime as they “disposed” of cripples..
Neoprene
I hear ya. If a guy can’t lock those legs around your back or toss them over your shoulders while having a romp, what’s the point?
Fname Optional Lname
Sorry but once you learn who this person is how can anyone consider him attractive? The ugliness shines through. If I were him I would hide my face in shame. Gay men who can’t see people beyond their outward appearance must either be extremely new at dating or they are just as awful and will rationalize any behavior because a “hot guy” gave them the time of day. Many gay people have self esteem issues from being constantly tormented (even by themselves) as children and many never recover. Let him and Aaron couple up and fade into obscurity, they deserve each other.
mailliw110
So if he wasn’t cute and a NAZI it would be ok?
skyboy63
He is a right wing tool and I don’t care how attractive he is.
Tombear
I think Cawthorn is a closeted straight man! Think about it!!

Yet another Groping Old Party trash human …is anyone surprised?
DC_gay
While I don’t disagree with some points. I will say most non nazi sympathizers don’t walk around visiting nazi historical sites and using words like my or the fuehrer in posts.
cuteguy
A lot of biggots don’t like to participate in polls so we cannot take polls for granted
Neoprene
He’s attractive? Not in my book. He’s got that The Bachelor contestant “good looks.” Bland.
Cam
Typical Republican.
Racist, a bigot, lies about his accomplishments, and thinks that he can bluff his way into a job he isn’t qualified for while looking down his nose at real working people.
