A couple of days ago, it seemed that North Carolina Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn had reached the lowest of the lows when he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug” and asserted that Ukraine is “incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.”
Now, however, Cawthorn has been caught on video accusing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of being an alcoholic, despite the fact that Pelosi abstains from all alcohol.
According to Mediaite:
“Rules for thee but not for me I guess is Nancy Pelosi’s, that’s Nancy Pelosi’s campaign slogan,” said Cawthorn at a recent campaign event. “I’ll tell you I have to work with her every single day so please do pray for me. The theories of alcoholism are very true and it’s very sad.”
The good news is that Cawthorn may not be in Congress much longer, as legal challenges have been filed that could keep him off the ballot due to his participation in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, as CNN reported earlier today:
A federal appeals court is expected to decide soon whether to revive a longshot challenge against GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s candidacy, which revolves around whether the Constitution’s ban on insurrectionists holding office should apply to him.
The liberal activists, legal scholars and anti-Trump Republicans who oppose Cawthorn asked the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to step in and revive their challenge that was shut down earlier this month by a lower-court judge. Cawthorn spoke at then-President Donald Trump’s January 6, 2021, rally and posted militant tweets in the run-up to the attack.
North Carolina will hold its primary election on May 14, but it remains unclear if the appellate court will issue a ruling or kick the issue down the road.
However, plenty of people on Twitter were eager to give Cawthorn a dose of his own medicine for his disgusting attack on the Speaker.
