With two weeks to go until his GOP primary, the hits keep coming for controversy-plagued North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn.
The latest blow is a leaked video that has gone viral that claims to show Cawthorn naked, in bed, with a male friend. Cawthorn appears to be thrusting his groin at his friend’s face.
Another person films the encounter on their phone. They can be heard laughing and telling Cawthorn, “Stick it in his face.”
The video was leaked by American Muckrakers PAC, a political group that runs the Fire Madison Cawthorn website.
How about we take this to the next level?

It’s difficult to identify with certainty that it’s Cawthorn in the video. However, the Rep. helpfully took to Twitter to say that yep, that’s him, and to offer an explanation.
“A new hit against me just dropped,” he tweeted last night.
“Years ago, in this video, I was being crass with a friend, trying to be funny.
“We were acting foolish, and joking.
“That’s it.
“I’m NOT backing down.
“I told you there would be a drip drip campaign.
“Blackmail won’t win. We will.”

The youngest person elected to Congress in November 2020, Cawthorn has made headlines with his views and controversial speeches, such as telling moms to raise hyper-masculine “monsters”.
Last December, he gave a speech at the Turning Point USA conference urging young conservatives to drop out of college and wed young. Just a week later, he announced that he and his wife Cristina were separating after just eight months of marriage.
In March he was charged with driving with a revoked license. A court appearance on that is due in the coming weeks.
Then he said on a podcast that leading Republican figures had invited him to orgies in Washington DC and he’d seen anti-drugs crusaders taking cocaine.
At the end of April, Politico released photos of Cawthorn wearing women’s lingerie at a party. Cawthorn says it was just a fun gathering aboard a cruise ship, long before he was a Congressman.
Last week, Cawthorn was cited for possession of a loaded handgun at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. It’s the second time he has “accidentally” tried to carry a gun onto a plane.
After that incident, Cawthorn posted a two-and-a-half-minute video to Instagram saying that “the establishment and RINOS [Republican In Name Only]” are out to wreck his chances of being re-elected.
He claimed there will be a “drip campaign” of bad stories about him over the coming weeks.

Yesterday, he released another video, again complaining about the campaign of bad press about him and attempting to address what he claims are “lies”.
“I’ve never seen the swamp launch such a coordinated attack against any individual in politics except for Donald Trump,” he said.
I’m ready to keep fighting for you.
I wanted you to know the truth, straight from me. Don’t lose hope, don’t listen to the fake news.
Don’t let the swamp of Washington dissuade or distract you from sending a warrior back to Washington.
I’ve only just begun to fight for you. pic.twitter.com/kDqtzsoquT

Unsurprisingly, the video of the anti-LGBTQ lawmaker naked in bed with a friend has prompted a lot of reactions online.
Earlier this evening, a private video was made public in which Madison Cawthorn engaged in intimate activities that he has spent his brief and mediocre and deeply embarrassing political career attempting to shame and legislate out of existence.

*blurriest video of all time, impossible to tell who anyone is*
first of all let me be clear, this is real and that’s me
— sam (playoff mode) (@CobrastanGuy) May 4, 2022
So are you going to come out and defend the right to privacy, the right to sexual self-expression and the right of mutually consenting adults to engage in intimate acts?
Or do you get to do whatever you want while advocating so loudly to deny these human rights to everyone else?

Madison Cawthorn: “The media is pushing a narrative that I’m some kind of drag queen on the side .. This is just poor journalism. But, I’m not surprised. It is Politico after all – not exactly the same journalistic standards as Fox or Newsmax.” pic.twitter.com/rGWiTHHfG3

I’m certainly no fan of Madison Cawthorn‘s but his primary is a little less than two weeks away if you’re wondering who’s doing the leaking.

You can no longer say “Madison Cawthron” in Florida schools.

Hey just a note to the GOP in DC. Releasing literally all the oppo on Madison Cawthorn is only making people think the cocaine orgies are real.
— Angry Staffer 🌻 (@Angry_Staffer) May 5, 2022
“Years ago”???
You’re 26.
Is the latest video from elementary school?
— Leia🌻 (@TheSWPrincess) May 5, 2022
If you think about it, whoever leaked the Madison Cawthorn video and photos realizes that his voters don’t care one bit if he’s a lawbreaker, a Hitler admirer, an insurrectionist or a Putin sympathizer.
But they might care a lot if he’s gay.
Which is pretty sad.

The only person who doesn’t know Cawthorn’s political career is over is Cawthorn

Cawthorn’s primary is May 17.

Republicans. They hate gay people, but they love gay sex.
Kangol2
Madison Cawthorn is yet another imbecilic far right-wing hypocritical closet case POS! Now his fellow vile RepubliQans have turned on him and appear to be leaking videos, photos, etc. to drag him down because he spilled the beans on their drug abuse and orgies. It’s also clear why his Russian handler wife dropped him after such a short period of time. It would be comical if these people weren’t so utterly dangerous, with far too much power!
GlobeTrotter
These PACs really need to give it a rest. So Madison Cawthorn was a typical white jock who loved to have a good time…so what? I don’t like the guy, but his behavior is typical of 90% of the college frat boy population who use alcohol and drugs as an excuse to act out their same-sex desires. That hardly makes him a bad person…even though he has bad politics.
ZzBomb
Honestly, at this point, I’m down for using every dirty trick in the book to get these people out of power. So I hope these PAC’s keep it up! You can’t run this “I’m a good boy, holier than thou Christian” facade when being bombarded by your prior bad behavior.
Eternal.Cowboy
Shocker, you are an apologist of the anti-LGBTQ+ crowd. There are always going to be those that hold the hand that holds them down.
Cam
I don’t like him BUT……followed by a defense of him.
Subtle.
spunkfunker
Actually he makes a good point. College at least since the late 90’s has been homoerotic as f**k! Lots of ball tapping, ass grabbing, and dicks in faces. usually when the guy is passed out drunk, or the classic Sharpie penis on the face trick. Have none of you all seen Jackass or Ridiculousness?
However, there was no nudity allowed whatsoever! That was “too gay”
As loathsome as I find Cawthorn, this just seems like dumb ass str8 bros being Str8 bros!
Either way the dude is still a total pass around party bottom for sure!
Eternal.Cowboy
@spunkfunker
It would be a good point if people were taking the issue with the actual behavior.
NateOcean
Such questions as:
“Why are they attacking me?”
“Do any of these allegations have merit?”
“How do you explain it?”
“How thick was he?”
“Did you need lots of lube?”
“Was a ‘mushroom head’ involved?”
“Did you get ‘air tight’?” (i.e. ‘all holes plugged’)
PinkoOfTheGange
Air Tight? That’s a new one (to me that is).
greekboy
So this was when Cawthorn met Lindsay Graham
Robert Bradley
ROTFL! Good one! Thank you for starting my day off with a laugh.
Cam
And on Twitter of course the organized response is hand wringing by straight people that we shouldn’t say anything about it because commenting on the vid might be “Homophobic”.
Cawthorn has attacked the LGBTQ community from day one, anything that harms his reelection chances is fair game.
Mister P
The republicans play dirty and we need to learn to do it too.
We have to play by the rules even if they are wrong.
bachy
I have no problem with basically heterosexual people engaging in same-sex activity. It happens all the time, especially among the very horny. My problem with the video is that Cawthorn supports legislation that harms those of us who take same-sex activity seriously, and have formed an identity around it.
Why is it OK for him to dick a friend for shits n’ giggles, but it’s not OK for me to dick a friend for love & commitment?
monty clift
It’s want he deserves. Don’t feel sorry for him at all.
CBHaynes
He loves any and all this attention — the man is the definition of a narcissist! So don’t feel bad for him, not that any of us do!
Bengali
I hope each and every day his wheels fall off while being towed behind a semi.
Bengali
Madison Cawthorn – GOP’s mobile f***-boy. Such a punk. Pretends to be a conservative and a Christian when he’s neither. He’s pushes the narrative to attract people as low class as he is when they don’t’ believe in it and neither does he. A true fraud. Hopeful they can stop him from running again. Oh wait, his car driving pal stopped him from running again.
Wait – was that a tacky comment on my part? You betcha!!!
Jimsie
Why is ANYTHING this person says or does worth reporting? Can you imagine the bone stupidity of his constituency? What I see coming down the pike is that soon it will be “okay” to be a God-fearing Republican out queer, but woe to those of separate political persuasions.

What cn i say
The Boy has a thing for shooters
Guns, and Penises!!!
At least hes Consistent!!
Its the MO of a HOMOPHOBE!!

ShiningSex
He’s gross! He deserves all the hate
Essie
I was going to read this article but decided I’m so sick of this gross, disgusting sub-human that I don’t want to hear about him anymore.
P.S.: He will most likely win his primary because the people who vote for him are as stupid and inhumane as he so they relate to whatever he does or has done.
maddog
If Cawthorn is having this type of sex because he likes it, but is hypocritical because he puts down others who like it, that is bad.
If Cawthorn is doing these things because he was “just goofing around” as a “juvenile stunt” when he was “young”, then I say “Go away, and when you have shown maturity (by not speeding, not driving with a revoked license, not carrying an unloaded gun onto an airplane (twice), not having respect for your peers) for about twenty years consistently, then maybe people would vote for you again”.
shaunpaul1234
I AGREE WTH ALL UVE SAID
BUT,
A HYPOCRITE DESERVES ALL HE GTS
AND THEN-SOME!!
spunkfunker
Makes me think those coke, and sex orgies are all true! They wouldn’t be shanking him like this if he didn’t expose something that he wasn’t supposed to. However it does beg the question. With Dreamsicle Jesus in complete and total control of the MAGA cult, why is this so bad? He has done some horrible things in his life, and they still worship at his Orange feet. Cheating, criminal fraud, raw dogging porn stars, abortions, and the party faithful are fine with all of that. I guess Maddie can’t get them the Supreme Court, and therefore he has to get the shaft. Though he probably likes that, so it’s a win win situation!
dbmcvey
He’s a hot mess.
scotty
hot? no.
mess? YESSSS.
also, a hit piece isnt a hit piece when you release it yourself. go clown over in ukraine…i hear they need landmine detectors. and you already have the wheels.
malerntogo
I don’t know. I’d probable. Take a lap or two in Madison’s wheelchair. Of course he’d have to ditch the Women’s lingerie. I was thinking perhaps something in leather…?
[email protected]
This keeps getting better and better.
I go to a gay gym. You are allowed to gawk at anyone a long as you want.
20 of my gym friends have emailed Cawthorn to come to Canada and have a weekend of being pleasured.
I wonder if he will cum?
GrizzleyMichael
Ewwwwww and what gay man would ever have sex with him
scotshot
What gay man? Gay repugs.
Joshooeerr
If Cawthorn were a Democrat plant tasked with making the Republican’s look as crass as possible it really couldn’t have gone better.
RyanMBecker
Well, I said the same thing about Trump (who used to be a Democrat) but looked what happened. I really thought at one point that Trump’s campaign was a democratic invention. I’ve since learned not to underestimate the hypocrisy and depravity of Republican voters and politicians.
Jami Stardust
I may just be a trans idiot, but if there are videos of a man engaging in what appears to be queer behavior and he also has a video in drag wearing lingerie. It kind of indicates that he’s queer, He just won’t admit it.
fredk3
he’s the closeted self-loathing cross-dressing pervy hypocritical j edgar hoover our our time!
winemaker
Madison Cawthorn is GAY, time for him and everyone else to deal with it. This is 2022 and time for people to get their heads out of their asses and get with the times

So you’re saying iokiyar…

“Years ago” I did this, “years ago” I did that. Dude’s 26. This ain’t wild oats or youthful follies, this is him here and now. Dude ain’t Doogie Howser that’s for sure, but just might also turn out to be gay (of course the horribly self-hating, repressed, overcompensating toxic-masculinity, and hypocritical, GOP-type gay)…
johncp56
So sad I think he is so very beautiful looking, and such a horrible person,? or just plain dumb? thank goodness my dick does not rule my brain;

Madison is cute as hell, that’s for sure. ?

I hope someone loosens his wheels just before he goes down an incline. This puke deserves no respect, no sympathy and certain deserves to never walk again. Danger to society.
