1) Cawthorn falsely claims he\u2019s first freshman to have bill passed, 2) Gets fact checked, 3) Adds second tweet saying oops actually he\u2019s not first GOP freshman to get bill passed, 4) Continues to ignore Dem (Bourdeaux) who got bill passed before either of thempic.twitter.com/44P7OFAM4X

Spoke too soon! Turns out @RepGarbarino holds the honor of first Republican Freshman! Massive shoutout to him and his team! Very proud to be among the first!

but, will you bother to show up to vote for your own bill? I understand you are number one in absences for House voting - 16% of the time you don\u2019t show up to vote.

He was trying to bury the story from yesterday about him having the absolute worst voting record of all freshman members of Congress, by a lot.https://www.axios.com/house-freshmen-skipped-votes-congress-648acd32-6554-4aef-9988-763165b317a3.html\u00a0\u2026

Three bills that you have cosigned have passed the house. Nothing that you have written.\nH.R.1448, which had 317 cosponsors and also passed last year.\nH.R.1276, which had 54 cosponsors and passed in March.\nH.R.707, which had 299 cosponsors and passed yesterday.

Never actually doing the work & then lying about it is why you failed out of college & were then rejected by the Naval Academy, kid

Once again you\u2019re riding on the coattails of others and dealing in misinformation. There are no bills that you have \u201csponsored\u201d that have passed. You\u2019re trying to make it sound like a bill which you are a \u201cco-sponsor\u201d for was written by you and passed.

More lies as always! You signed your name along with 54 others and had no part in writing it.https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_603c5e83c5b6d7794ae01026/amp\u00a0\u2026

Actually Maddy...Carolyn Bordeaux beat you. On March 30th she became the first. Perhaps you were too busy missing so many votes to catch that.

This guy can't even lie properly. He is not the first freshman to have a bill pass the House.https://twitter.com/CawthornforNC/status/1395010431597649924\u00a0\u2026

Is there a time, perhaps in your still present childhood, that you can recall a single incident where you told the truth about anything?
