Well... Russia loves Madison Embattled Madison Cawthorn gets donation from cousin of sanctioned Russian oligarch https://www.rawstory.com/madison-cawthorn-donation/ The cousin and business associate of a sanctioned Russian billionaire has donated to Rep. Madison Cawthorn's (R-NC) campaign. An FEC report released over the weekend showed that Andrew Intrater, a U.S. citizen, donated $1,000 to Cawthorn on Friday. "Intrater’s cousin and, at least at one time, biggest investor is billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, who has been under U.S. sanctions since April 2018," Forbes reported. "Last month, Spanish police, with assistance from U.S. law enforcement, seized Vekselberg’s superyacht on the resort island of Mallorca." Intrader works as an asset manager for New York-based Sparrow Capital Holdings. Cawthorn received the donations as his campaign was said to have $325,000 of debt and only $138,000 of cash available. Unlike the vast majority of congressional Republicans, Cawthorn has opposed American efforts to provide military assistance to Ukraine, and even called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "thug" in remarks to supporters earlier this year. In the same remarks, Cawthorn also claimed that the "Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies."

Senator Thom Tillis and others state Republicans spent countless hours and dollars working to make sure Cawthorn lost the primary.

The right wingers will continue to pretend they never knew who this guy was. In a couple of years expect a book about cocaine and orgy parties with MattGaetz and Marge Green.
This shows again that the Republican electorate voters put a significant moral value into their voting decisions Remember Republican voters in Alabama elected a democrat to the senate based on a immoral Roy White candidate. Years ago,in a local Chicago election they elected an alderman on a Tuesday and was to report to jail on Friday for an earlier conviction
Reporter booted out of Madison Cawthorn party describes 'stunning and sudden desertion of his closest allies' https://www.rawstory.com/madison-cawthorn-fleeing-fans/ Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) lost his primary election Tuesday night after months of infuriating his Republican colleagues. Independent reporter John Bowden, who was there to cover Cawthorn's election night party, says he was asked to leave by the Hendersonville, North Carolina police who were on hand. The event was in a small auto detailer and tire shop where Cawthorn operated his campaign. The crowd fled once it became clear that Cawthorn lost, and Bowden writes that he "witnessed a stunning and sudden desertion of Cawthorn’s closest supporters and allies as it became clear that he’d lost." Bowden noted that while Cawthorn was suffering a defeat, Sen. Chuck Edwards' campaign was still partying. He was shaking hands and taking photos. Cawthorn's lights were out — in more ways than one. "It wasn’t explicitly mentioned, but my unceremonious ejection from the party appeared to be at the behest of campaign staffers for the youngest member of Congress," wrote Bowden. At one point he took photos of the vacating cars and walked across the street to take pics of the near-empty parking lot. “Streets are for vehicles,” one "kindly advised me," as Bowden walked across the empty street to take a photo. Cawthorn then delivered his own election night rant, blaming the GOP for his downfall, although he did give a "polite" call to Edwards, conceding to the candidate. Newly-reelected state Rep. Jake Johnson "was overheard before he left joking with another Edwards supporter about a steady leak of sexually explicit images and videos of Cawthorn spearheaded by an anti-Cawthorn super PAC over the past few months," Boden wrote. “I guess it was one video too many,” Johnson said, laughing at Cawthorn. “Who knows what other videos are out there?" the person he was speaking to quipped back. Cawthorn was not only the youngest person ever elected to Congress he was also the youngest person ever to be kicked out of Congress. In North Carolina, if the election had been close, the two men would have been sent to a runoff. But Cawthorn lost by so much that it wouldn't be in the cards. In wake of the humiliating loss, he was ridiculed by "The View" for his claim that Trump is loyal and would back him until the end. Read the full report at this link.
"Edwards topped the embattled Cawthorn by a razor-thin margin Tuesday with 33.5% of the vote over Cawthorn’s 31.6% with about 99% of the ballots tallied." Remember when I overstated something recently? "Significant" you say. Mmmm.
Yes its significant Over 90% of incumbents win......They only lose when there is a proactive no vote....This active no vote was based on character / morality....not policy
