One of Rep. Madison Cawthorn‘s Democratic challengers (who happens to be gay) just released a new attack ad against him and the Claws. Are. Out.
Jasmine Beach-Ferrara was the first person to share her plans unseat the antigay Republican lawmaker in 2022 when she announced her candidacy last March, less than two months after he was sworn into office.
“Some people will say, a gay woman who’s a Christian minister just can’t get elected in the South. Not to mention she’s a Democrat,” she said in a powerful campaign announcement video. “But I say, an insurrectionist, who flirts with Nazis, and fires up a violent crowd to attack our democracy, well, he shouldn’t get reelected anywhere.”
Now, the Buncombe County commissioner and mother of thee has released another video and this time she’s calling out the 25-year-old Nazi enthusiast for being, well, a 25-year-old Nazi enthusiast.
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.
“Like too many young men before him, from around the world and right next door, Madison Cawthorn exhibits the signs of a young man who has been radicalized by extremists” she says in the video.
“As a mom, an ordained minister and a county commissioner, I’m running to defeat Madison Cawthorn, not by confronting hate with more hate, but with love of neighbor, love of community, and love of country. Violent extremism has no place in western North Carolina. This isn’t who we are. We need to be crystal clear about the difference between right and wrong.”
The video also features Beach-Ferrara’s wife and children.
“I’m asking for your help, not just to defeat him, but to come together to create the America our kids deserve,” the candidate says.
Beach-Ferrara definitely has an uphill battle ahead of her. Not only did Cawthorn beat his last Democratic opponent 54 to 42, but she’s running in a district that Donald Trump won by 11 points in 2020. Still, she believes she has what it takes to unseat the accused sexual predator.
Watch the video below.

I guess he can’t really be unseated since he’s stuck in that wheelchair, but the little nazi needs to go.
ggontarek
LOL! He CAN roll away!

The ones who claim to hate the Nazis mock disabled people the way Nazis would.
Bosch
@Hank31 he’s not being mocked because he’s disabled, he’s being mocked because he’s a Nazi sympathiser. The subject of a joke is not always the target of a joke. Learn the difference.
Heywood Jablowme
@Hank31: uh… the Nazis didn’t mock disabled people, they killed them. See a difference?
Kinsey6
@Hank31 I happen to be disabled, and I think it’s acceptable to mock Madison Cawthorn for being a Nazi, even for being disabled. Normally I wouldn’t like anyone mocking the disabled, but HE’S A FREAKING NAZI.
Ergo, I don’t mind if people take the gloves off and mock him as they like. I know I’d like to shove a stick through the wheels of his wheelchair while at high speed.
Caddy4J
I would agree or disagree with someone’s view of politics, but making jokes about anyone’s disability no matter the party affiliation is really sad and classless. These are grade school comments and always ask the people that use these kind of comments, how would you feel if that was your parent, lived one or partner? Not cool.
Bob
@kinsey6: I can think of a much better place for that stick…
jasentylar
I don’t like his politics, but that was personal and somehow you found a way to come off as a bigger asshole than Madison.
Mister P
The Nazi lover has to go. A queer woman sounds perfect!
Hank31
What’s “queer”?
Bosch
@Hank31 You pretending you don’t know what “queer” means is queer.
BigJohnSF
“Queer” is a term of hate speech embraced by the transgender community, since many are not gay. A lot of gay people are going along with it, despite the self-loathing that it embodies. So they want to lump gay people in with transgender people and call us all “queer.” Plenty of us resist this.
LeBlevsez
Oh, BigJohnSF…
get over your BigotedJohnSelF.
bivector
The queer group on my college campus used that term, and we thought it covered all of the relevant bases and was a heck of a lot easier to say than lgbt (or even just lgb).
whereshouldistart
I like her.
For the life of me I cannot understand how the people of NC voted in that pathological lying douchebag. He has done NOTHING for his constituents and we can only hope that voters will send him and the rest of the clown car dipshits, (Gaetz, Greene, Boebert, etc.) packing.
Max
sadly, it’s because NC folks voted along party-lines versus being brave enough to do otherwise. chickens are what they are. voting to elect a Nazi sympathizer that if he were an actual Nazi, be rejected for his disabilities.
stonercharles
Max, or that is truly who they are and He represents tRump White Evangelical Home Schooled Jesus Freaks…
Chrisk
You could also throw in some more shit like rape allegations and lying about why he was denied the military academy.
Doug
He also lied about his friend who was with him in the car accident.
IWantAFullBeard
He seems like an odd person.
Leo
You mean queer? Looks it.
chat fisher
It isn’t his legs that bother me it is his crippled NAZI mind. Hitler would had had him murdered.
barryaksarben
Hey HANK! You seem lost. hard to keep up? I gues sit is hard to pretend to be queer while supporting the nazi roomba. GFY
JohnMc888
If he wins, let that county be written everywhere as: Bancombe County, pro-Nazi, pro-lying, pro-treason.
banditboy
Nice ad, but Dems need to pick people who can win in more conservative districts, and in a district that elected a Nazi sympathizer, a liberal lesbian is not going to win.
Dick Gozinia
Thank you for saying it. I agree with you completely. This is like last fall when people thought those Kentucky hillbillies were going to oust Mitch McConnell for Amy McGrath.
BaltoSteve
I suspect he could be found in bed with a dead hooker and still get reelected.
Celtic
Madison Cawthorn is a biohazard powder keg who might erupt at any given moment. He is dangerous. He is lethal. He is mentally sick.
GrizzleyMichael
They all are, they need to be vanquished and put new and better people in their place
TwinPeaker
There are an awful lot of spelling errors in this article…is anyone even proof reading before posting??
Mr. Stadnick
This site is the home of sloppy journalism. Misspelling is only on of its many problems.
Phillip
If the Nazis were actually in power he would be one of the first to be euthanized as part of their ‘Final Solution.’
He needs to read up on his World History, especially approaching the middle twentieth century German fascist movement with Hitler. They looked down on the mentally and physically disabled.
Kinsey6
@Phillip That’s the problem with these dumb-as-a-cold-rock, wholly uneducated Nazis: They fetishize the Nazis and what they stand for, yet they’ve never opened a book and read about what it was that they did. If Madison Cawthorne had half a clue, he’d know what Tiergartenstrasse 4 was, the estimated number of hundreds of thousands it exterminated, and the special ways created to exterminate this class of Untermenschen. There is something especially pathetic about someone who spews Nazi propaganda and would obviously love to have them come back… yet is too ignorant and uneducated to see that he’d be one of the very first they’d get rid of.
GrizzleyMichael
It is time to get rid of these evil people and right now
fredk3
That little Nazi is an opportunist & a con artist. Not to mention extremely unlikeable. Be gone, pest.
SDR94103
grat ad!
trojanboy
You go girl.
Ken A.
He has to compensate since he probably can’t get it up anymore or at least feel it getting up. So he’s angry at the world for what he did to himself. I saw him question Dr. Fauci, and that boy was nasty and why haven’t we heard any more about those sexual harassment accusations against him. Were they buried?
bivector
Why is his face and name on the headline instead of hers?
mz.sam
Hey voters, take action…This white racist, pro-Nazi GOP legislative dead-weight needs to be defeated in 2022.
white-queer-african
HE GET’S MY VOTE……
for the gas chamber!
MickeyMoose
Being embittered regarding his confinement to a wheelchair in addition to his unresolved closeted homosexual issues, Maddy lashes out at everyone and anyone. Aspiring cops and firemen need to pass a Civil Service exam to qualify, but any piece of sh*t lunatic can run for public office, no restrictions.
OhHellNo
Could it be more obvious that Cawthorn is a closeted homosexual?
Invader7
No. DON’T even go there. He is NOT one of us.. He’s repulsive… He’s a self obsessed EVIL brown nosing , ass kissing republican pos !!!
Invader7
When will this super creepy PREDATOR self implode ? Hopefully soon… He’s super creepy ,with those meth /heroin eyes…
