North Carolina’s Republican Senators Thom Tillis and Richard Burr said they’d support a primary challenge against freshman Represenative Madison Cawthorn after he made remarks alleging that colleagues engage in drugs and group sex.
The Independent asked Mr Tillis about speaker of the North Carolina house of representatives Tim Moore and state president pro tempore Phil Berger partaking in a fundraiser for primary challenger Chuck Edwards. Mr Moore succeeded Mr Tillis as speaker after Mr Tillis won his Senate race in 2014.
