Madison Cawthorn has a lot of free time now that he’s officially out of a job, and he’s been spending it preparing to stand trial for bringing a loaded Staccato 9mm handgun through an airport last year doing his part to perpetuate toxic masculinity on social media.
Over the weekend, the 27-year-old ex-congressman posted a video to Instagram. In it, he can be seen dressed head to toe in camouflage gear and face paint and appears to eat raw meat from a freshly killed animal.

“Normally we contract the killing of food out to the grocery store hitmen, but it’s always good to remember where it all comes from and practice those essential life skills,” he wrote in the caption.
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.
In the post, he also mentioned a group called Disabled Outdoorsmen, a Texas-based non-profit that aims to “show people across the world that being disabled doesn’t stop you from chasing your dreams of enjoying the great outdoors with people you love.” It’s a noble effort… if only it weren’t also a boys club for right-wing radicals like Cawthorn.
Watch. (View discretion advised!)

The response to the video has been mostly people reacting in horror, including many of Cawthorn’s own supporters.
“I support this guy I like him but… this is gross,” one of them commented.
“Is it safe to eat it raw?” another asked. (Answer: No! Raw venison should not be consumed by humans because even healthy deer can carry a range of parasites, bacteria, and viruses.)
“That was not necessary!” a third person remarked.
“The things you do to act straight when you’re not lol,” a fourth person added.
Meanwhile, over on Twitter, people had similar reactions…

Cawthorn lost in the Republican primary for North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District to state Sen. Chuck Edwards last year after a series of scandals, including video of him aggressively shoving his penis in his cousin’s face, footage of him telling a reporter he had been invited by fellow Republicans to drug-fueled orgies in Washington, D.C., and photos of him dressed in ladies lingerie at a nightclub.
Edwards went on to win in November’s midterm elections and was sworn into the House of Representatives earlier this month. Meanwhile, Cawthorn has relocated from North Carolina to Florida, where he is rumored to be plotting a political comeback.

One down and at least 10 more to go. Next let’s find the means to toss George Santostein, Maggoty Taylor Green and Lauren Booburp into the same festering trash bin.

It’s not hypermasculinity, it’s hyperpsychosis.
The wheel chair life has caused him to go into hyperproving mode. He’s too sick to comment on anymore.

This is really disgusting. If there was any doubt this man has mental problems, these videos certainly prove it.

The title for this article says no one ask for it. Why is this even news? Especially on a gay site. He has slid out of sight into irrelevance. Leave him there. PLEASE

I was thinking the exact same thing! How is this Queer news?

Someone needs to gently tell Maddie that he’s no longer the UFM (Unpleasant Flavor of the Month). Georgie Porgie lays claim to that dubious honor, at least for now. No amount of shenanigans, disgusting as they might be, will ever make anyone notice Maddie again. He might as well sit around all day perusing through his old press clippings and reminiscing, because that’s all that he has now.

It’s 2023; I wasn’t aware that killing my own chickens, cows and pigs was an “essential life skill.” Maybe he can co-author the next book on hypermasculinity with Josh Hawley after shooting dinner.

awwww, poor Maddie is missing those cocaine fueled orgies. Yes someone should give him attention but not Queerty. He’s out and we certainly have several others just like him to get rid of. Let’s move on.

why are you reporting on this asshole. This is disgusting.

On the positive side, if he shoots his dick off he won’t feel it.
