North Carolina Republican Representative and Hitler hobbyist Madison Cawthorn is once again in hot water after an ill-conceived tweet blew up in his face.

Presumably in reference to the United States' response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Russia's unnerving threats of retaliation against us, Cawthorn tweeted a bit of rueful nostalgia about the days when the U.S.'s "adversaries" wouldn't have dared to challenge American supremacy.


But he seemed to have forgotten that he is heavily implicated in the planning of the events surrounding the January 6, 2021 insurrection—which would make he himself an "adversary" of America. Oops.

See his tweet below.

Cawthorn tweeted:

"I miss when America was feared by our adversaries."

But when it comes to America's adversaries, there's a fairly substantial likelihood his tweet is a pot-kettle-black situation.

As a bombshell report last October in Rolling Stone magazine revealed, Cawthorn is heavily implicated in the planning of pro-Trump and Stop the Steal rallies. This includes the one led on January 6 by former Republican President Donald Trump and at which Cawthorn spoke, that eventually ended with a call to storm the Capitol.

Two people involved in the planning who are cooperating with federal investigations into the January 6 coup attempt described to Rolling Stone the "dozens" of planning meetings they attended led by members of Congress and White House Staff. Included in their list of members taking lead roles in the planning was Cawthorn.

Cawthorn is so intricately implicated in the events of January 6 that a group of lawyers is trying to bar him from running for reelection in the fall on the basis of a part of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which bans the holding of office by anyone "engaged in insurrection."

The anti-American allegations swirling around Cawthorn seemed to weigh heavily on the minds of people on Twitter, who clapped back at his tweet loud and hard.










It will be interesting to see how this tweet ages once the January 6 indictments start. Time will tell.

Trump Mocked For Bizarre Denial After Wall St. Journal Reports On His Creepy Birthday Note To Epstein

President Donald Trump was swiftly mocked after he denied he ever "wrote a picture" after The Wall Street Journal reported on a happy birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing Trump’s signature that included a drawing of a nude woman in sharpie pen.

The letter—reportedly sent by Trump at the request of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who compiled the messages into a leather-bound book for Epstein's 50th birthday—dates back 16 years before Epstein was charged with child sex trafficking by the Justice Department in 2019, during Trump’s presidency.
