Letter: Time to send Cawthorn home

Posted on by Letters
Graphic by Lori Deaton

Having spent the last week reading about the clusterf—  that is our congressman, Madison Cawthorn, I’m compelled to speak out.

It’s not bad enough that he has no respect for the laws of our state by getting busted for driving on a revoked license; or that he called the leader of Ukraine a thug during a Russian invasion; or that he’s an embarrassment to the Republican Party mainstream who evidently have decided that he’s only there in D.C. for himself with no knowledge or interest in actually working as a congressman for us in WNC.

I’m a disabled military retiree with over 23 years of combined service in the Marines and Coast Guard, and his actions of cleaning his pistol during a hearing about veterans’ health is disgusting.

It’s been quite a week for the little yahoo who is supposed to be there to work on the issues of his constituents. With the primaries looming in the near future, I hope that all of us have had enough of his self-serving actions and will join me in saying, “Not on my watch” and vote the bum out and back to obscurity.

Regretfully submitted,

— Brad West
Marshall

    ROFLMAO ! I know, right ? But I will still vote for him just for SPITE and continued entertainment! He supports freedom and liberty instead of slavery and the KKK …

  3. WNC

    I didn’t vote for Cawthorn in primary because he was a poor choice
    I did vote for Cawthorn in the general election because the other choice Colonel Moe Davis said he wanted to put his foot on the throat of conservatives and twist
    I know many conservatives who feel exactly the same.
    When you have a large field of candidates running the door is wide open for someone with a smaller but solid pocket of support

    Little Maddie is the poster boy for the absolute freak show that is today’s Republican Party.

      Sorry Broadway, support for todays Democratic plan has fallen greatly among most every category. The reasons stated in polling the White Woke Liberal is way left of most nationalities and is taking the hit for the anticipated change election.

    Let’s remove all fraudulent traitorous do-nothing politicians from our state, starting with Cawthorn and the disgraced idiotic loser Mark Meadows.
