Outgoing congressman Madison Cawthorn‘s single term in the U.S. House of Representatives doesn’t end until January 3, 2023, but it appears he’s already started moving out of his congressional office.
Photos of what looks to be the 27-year-old anti-LGBTQ lawmaker’s belongings being carted out of his office on Capitol Hill began circulating this week on Twitter, with many not surprised by the thought of him throwing in the towel more than two months early.
This photo encapsulates Madison Cawthorn’s tenure at the House of Representatives. Which doesn’t end for 68 days. Maddie can’t finish anything.#NC11 could have had @ColMorrisDavis working for them these last 21 months.#NC11: Don’t screw up again. Vote for @JBeachFerrara! pic.twitter.com/Oj3tupWEpI

In Cawthorn’s defense, he’s got a lot on his mind right now. In addition to having to find a new job, he also has to prepare to stand trial for bringing a loaded Staccato 9mm handgun through an airport back in April.
The Daily Beast reports:
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.
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) will appear in court on Jan. 13 to answer charges relating to an incident in which he allegedly took a loaded handgun into an airport. The Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s office on Tuesday told reporters that the date had been set in relation to a charge of possession of a dangerous weapon on city property over the incident at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in April.
I can't wait to hear about the next time Madison Cawthorn tries to get a gun past an airport checkpoint. I got yelled at once for having a bag of gummy bears.

Cawthorn also has three impending court cases for driving offenses and he’s in the middle of divorcing that woman he fell in love with at a fake CrossFit competition hosted by a dude he met at a Russian casino.
So, we can understand why finishing his term as a U.S. congressman might not be a top priority, even though it should be.

As Cawthron gets a jumpstart on his exit from politics, his BFF Bo Hines appears poised to take his place as the youngest, most inexperienced, most unqualified member of the U.S. House.
The twice-married 27-year-old trust fund baby, who has been dubbed “Madison Cawthorn 2.0”, is currently leading in the race for U.S. House in North Carolina’s 13th congressional district against two-term state senator Wiley Nickel.

Like his buddy Cawthorn, Hines is a pro-Trump, anti-LGBTQ, election-denying conservative who loves to fearmonger about the country being “under assault from the Authoritarian Left.”
His NRCC profile states:
Bo Hines is the best choice to defend our shared conservative values – creating an attractive environment for job creators to create good-paying jobs, defending our individual liberties and freedoms from a tyrannical bureaucracy, returning educational decision-making power to parents, fighting to secure our borders, and protecting the unborn.
North Carolina, if you could please do us all a favor and stop electing these toxic, gay-hating, 20-something, straight white cis douchebags to office, we’d really appreciate it.
We’ll leave you with this hazy image of sun-kissed Cawthorn allegedly lounging by a pool with his aide Stephen Smith that’s also been circulating on Twitter recently…

WHY DO YOU KEEP REPORTING ON HIM???
Diplomat
Bc he’s stinkin hot.
abfab
It’s not because he’s hot. Eff no. He’s def not that. It’s because lots of us are interested in politics and love to see assholes like this crash and burn. They do not contribute to the progress and maintenance of human rights for all.
bachy
Well put, abbie!
Consider This
He’ll be missed 😉
abfab
One can only imagine what he’ll do next. Is he already born again? Sell pillows? Color Easter Eggs?
greekboy
The malignant tumor I had removed will be missed, but I’m better off with it gone
OhHellNo
I guess they should dock his pay then…

So much anti-gay…and sooooo much homoeroticism. Somebody’s not clear on the concept–proving that mental acuity is not their strong suit.

Farewell LOSER !!!! He’s like so many other Neo NAZI far right wing fascist republicans!! I think they should all be subjected to mandated psychiatric treatment !!! STAT …
abfab
That would delete and do away with the republican party. What a FABULOUS IDEA! If only. I wish The Green Party would take the place of these right wing cretins.
Thinking about Mr. Pelosi and the entire Pelosi family. The maniacs from January 6th are still on the loose. Have a safe Halloween. I wonder what kind of poison treats they hand out at MaraLago……..
LumpyPillows
I wish all the republican congressmen stopped voting now. Works for me.
bachy
Adios, moron!
abfab
I need to know, you know, because he’s so hot. Did he support or vote against the ADA? In Nazi Germany, Hitler would have put him down.
Don’t answer this…it’a a hypothetical (sorry POS supporters for using such big words) question. You do the math…..was he born yet? Chump supporters, you go first.

Bye Felicia.

Sarah Palin told him to ditch prematurely because he would get some publicity.

maybe such a backwards, hillbilly, low mentality, ignorant state like north carolina should try having some drag story times because what ever theyre doing now the shits not working. you would think the whole state was run by marsha blackburnt and was ILLITERATE.

The only person who did less than he did in Congress is Marjorie Taylor Greene. Good riddance to a lying piece of trash.

Christ. Really?
“I have to get to a floor speech real quick,” the North Carolina Republican said. Cawthorn, 27, who was partially paralyzed in a car accident in 2014, pivoted in his wheelchair and rolled out to the sidewalk, crossing Independence Avenue and heading toward the Capitol.
Inside a nearly empty House chamber, Cawthorn read a one-minute speech in which he declared that “America cannot be saved through legislation.”
“Christ, not Congress, will be what saves this country,” he said in an emphatic baritone.

Christ didn’t save his @ss, from losing his seat or being revealed as a hypocritical freak. I guess there’s still time, though!
