Day by day Beast: “If the worst factor Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) did this month used to be name Ukraine’s President “a thug,” or get stuck rushing more than one occasions with a revoked license, or accuse Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being an alcoholic, the 26-year-old MAGA-influencer would most likely be simply effective in his re-election bid.”
“However Cawthorn did one thing some distance worse, no less than for his personal political potentialities, and it’ll value him his seat: He left his constituents—after which used to be pressured to go back to them, hat in hand, after the courts predictably struck down the brand new map on Feb. 23.”
“The about-face spread out a extra harmful line of assault than the rest Cawthorn has stated or achieved. It confirmed, no less than in short, that he used to be much less concerned about representing the electorate who first elected him than he used to be in simply being in Congress.”
