Madison Cawthorn Dragged For Claiming Bombshell Trump Story Was 'Retracted'—It Wasn't

Republican Representative and Hitler enthusiast Madison Cawthorn is once again making headlines, this time for his fiery response to The Washington Post correcting one of its stories about the 2020 election.

According to Cawthorn, the Post was caught in a lie and had to "retract" its story about a phone call in which former Republican President Donald Trump pressured Georgia elections investigator Frances Watson to help him win the state.


But not only is that not what happened—the story is still live on the Post's website because a correction is not a retraction—but Cawthorn got the story itself wrong, centering it on a different phone call between Trump and Georgia's Secretary of State.

The Post issued the correction because the original story misquoted former President Trump's comments to Watson.

In its story, the Post quoted Trump as having told Watson to "find the fraud," which Trump never said. Rather, he told her to investigate ballots in Fulton County, where he said she would find "dishonesty."

Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger later released a tape of the phone call with Watson which revealed Trump's actual quotes, so the Post appended a correction to the story and changed its headline and text accordingly.

But in Cawthorn's retelling, which cleverly includes only a screenshot of the correction rather than a link to the story, the Post knowingly lied and then retracted the story altogether, neither of which are true.

Worse still, Cawthorn seemed to think the correction at hand involved reporting about the damning phone call between Trump and Raffensberger, in which Trump attempted to impugn the integrity of Georgia's 2020 general election and pressured Raffensberger and other officials to tamper with the results in order to deliver him the state.

Either Cawthorn's reading comprehension is lacking or he's just blatantly lying.

Giphy

Either way, people on Twitter were not about to let it slide.










Speaking of retractions, after repeatedly parroting Trump's "Big Lie" accusations of election fraud in 2020, Cawthorn in January admitted live on air to CNN he believes the 2020 election was "not fraudulent."

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
