Washington D.C. student Noah Mitchell caught up with both Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Madison Cawthorn at the Capitol this week where he got a chance to ask them about their vacations.
Mitchell approached Cruz for a selfie. The antigay senator, who loves having his picture taken, happily agreed. But unbeknownst to him, Mitchell was actually recording a video.
As Cruz smiled dumbly for the camera without a mask, the political science student asked, “How was Cancún, Senator? It was good?”
Realizing he was being trolled, the smile on Cruz’s face quickly faded. “Take care,” he said before hurrying away.
How about we take this to the next level?

About 10 minutes later, Mitchell ran into Cawthorn and again asked for a selfie.
“How was visiting Hitler’s house?” he asked the 25-year-old Nazi enthusiast, who was too busy smiling for the camera to hear the question. So Mitchell repeated, “Did you go to Hitler’s house?”
“Nope, didn’t go there,” Cawthorn replied before patting Mitchell on the shoulder and taking off.
Mitchell then asked about the infamous photo Cawthorn took at the Eagle’s Nest and that he posted to Instagram.
“That, I believe, was the retreat,” the young lawmaker clarified.
Because that’s so much better.

So far, the video has received almost 600K views and over 20K likes on Twitter.
Later, Mitchell shared Cawthorn’s Instagram posts from the Eagle’s Nest, writing, “We have receipts @CawthornforNC. ‘Bucket list,’ really?”

Im so old I remember when dog shit scum like these two would not have been elected dog catchers before the white supremists started infiltrating the GOP making it the QOP and letting every hate filled bastard in

I don’t know how old you are, but if you are old enough to remember Congress back in the 1950s, people didn’t elect lunatics like Cancun Ted and Aerie Cawthorne, but the South did regularly sent straight-up racists to both houses of Congress, and the fun fact about them is that they were Democrats! In 1964, they staged a 60-day filibuster against the Civil Rights Act which, once that was over, was passed with more Republican votes than Democrat votes in the Senate.

Gay republicans are truly a conundrum. Self loathing bunch aren’t they!

Karlis, I’m shocked that you don’t know about Southern Democrats. After the Civil Rights Act passed, thousands of Democrats bolted to the GOP. The GOP has dominated the South ever since .
So, today’s GOP is descended from those racist Democrats.

Gonna say with a lot of confidence that if Noah was Black, these videos would NOT have happened.
They both would have keep moving and not stopped for the ‘selfies’.

Cawthorne is a gay boy who kisses Republican ass!

Cawthorn & Cruz… two of the weirdest freaks in all of MAGA-dom!

So people should not visit Eagle’s Nest because Hitler lived there? Maybe they should also stop visit Berlin or London, becaue, you know, London was a Capital of British Empire that passivley and actively killed 1,8 billion Indians during the colonial peiod.
jcool
he didn’t live there, it was a retreat. please pay attention.

Maybe you should learn the difference between the retreat home of one evil and destructive man, and a city or country, which are the home to many differing people and not the originators of murderous policy.
Then perhaps you would not make a fool of yourself trying (and failing) to defend hack right wing politicians who serve no one but themselves, not even hetero trolls like you.

It’s cute that you think nobody on here read the articles where Cawthorn had said visiting these Hitler sites had been on his bucket list, and he referred to Hitler by the respectful title that White Supremecist groups use for him.
By all means, keep on trying.
sillyme
I looked at that pic of Cathorn with his buddy? and he’s as gay as any man alive that claims he gay.
Den
The picture is him and his brother, not “his buddy.”
The brother is good looking, but somehow I doubt they are lovers and suspect the brother is as far right as Creepy Madison.

Cawthorne has a reputation for sexually harassing women, even after his accident. I would never want to get within 1000 feet of him, but I would not be unhappy to hear that a man sexually harassed him.

When we were passing through Austria, we found that Hitler’s Eagle Nest wasn’t far. We thought it would be interesting to see it. We would not have gone out of our way for something like this, but we wanted to experience everything we could regarding history and culture. We saw lots of castles and palaces and baroque churches.
There isn’t much left to see, and we were there on a very foggy day. The view from there is supposed to be spectacular, and I was disappointed to not see anything. The overall feeling, however, was very creepy — you could feel the evil. Perhaps it was our over worked imagination, but that tunnel Cawthorne is sitting in was the creepiest of all.
You don’t go to these places because they are “awesome” or they catered to your heroes. You go there to honor history and know what happened, whether it was good, bad, or ugly. It’s not a place to celebrate or take happy selfies. This is place where some of the worst people in the 20th century gathered and plotted murder and war, and it should be treated as such.
Cam
Cawthorn only used respectful titles to refer to Hitler and said that visiting that place had been on his bucket list for years.
Most teens in America wouldn’t even know that place existed, much less having it as one of your bucket list destinations over thousands of more scenic or more fun places to go in Europe.

The GQP/KKK couldn’t have two better losers representing their terrible cult aka party
