Alumni From Madison Cawthorn’s Old School Denounced Him As A Serial Harasser
Madison Cawthorn is the youngest member of Congress, because in 2020 North Carolina just couldn’t resist the siren song of a 25-year-old college dropout who complained about a journalist working “for non-white males.”

He’s blended general GOP nonsense (flirting with white supremacy, ginning up the attack on the Capitol, being a writhing collective of misanthropic worms oozed into a suit) with a few unique twists, like lying about qualifying for the Naval Academy (he was rejected) and, after a car accident, repeatedly lying about training for the Paralympics (annoyed Paralympians had no idea what he was talking about). He’s the culmination of “elect me and I will piss off the people you hate” politics, a legislator who admits he’s more interested in messaging than legislation. This is a man who celebrated his election night victory with the unifying message of “Cry more, lib,” then “apologized” for it, then sold $35 t-shirts blaring the message in capital letters.

That Cawthorn tried one semester of political science and got terrible grades before giving up arguably makes him the perfect symbol of the Republican Party, but he sure made an impression at school. 176 current and former students of Patrick Henry College signed a letter accusing Cawthorn of vandalism, misrepresenting himself, and “sexually predatory behavior.” Several women specifically accused him of inviting them for a drive, taking them somewhere quiet, locking the doors, and making unwanted advances. Cawthorn’s “fun drives” became infamous enough that women passed on warnings about him.

Cawthorn blamed the accusations on evil Democrats (many of the signatories were self-described conservative Republicans) before trying to ignore them, possibly because he was distracted by a different sexual misconduct allegation. The “Sexual misconduct allegations” section on his Wikipedia page takes up more space than his political opinions, because he has no real convictions beyond believing that the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution to own the Democrats.
Cawthorn has been called the future of the Republican Party, which unfortunately appears to be true in that voters didn’t care about the many credible accusations against him. And he’ll say whatever moronic thing gets him attention: he blamed the attack on the Capitol, whose participants he spoke to, on shadowy left-wing Democratic operatives paid to make Trump look bad. He vowed to reach across the aisle and work with people he then said want to turn America into a “communist ash heap.” He gave a fiery speech claiming he had proof of widespread voter fraud, then later admitted he didn’t, then continued to call the election stolen anyway. He’s the perfect politician for anyone who wants to vote for a waffling John Birch Society member accidentally teleported here from 1965.

Paul Gosar’s Family Very Publicly Hates Him
The Arizona Republic has called Paul Gosar Arizona’s most controversial member of Congress, which is no easy feat in a state where Republicans are still examining ballots to see if Biden secretly flew phony votes in from South Korea. But he’s earned the title by calling Biden an “illegitimate usurper,” accusing the FBI and Department of Justice of being full of “traitors,” and palling around with white supremacists. When he spoke in London he called Muslim immigrants “disgusting and depraved” and a “scourge.”
