WASHINGTON — Rep. Madison Cawthorn doubled down Friday evening about the cocaine and orgies he claims happens among members of Congress, though his comments have stirred backlash among senior members of the GOP.
“Corruption and unethical activities exist in Washington,” the freshman Republican from North Carolina tweeted. “It’s an indisputable fact. If you don’t think that’s true, you’ve not witnessed the Swamp.”
Cawthorn landed in hot water with his party leaders this week after appearing on the podcast, Warrior Poet Society, and alleging that members of Congress in their 60s and 70s have invited him to orgies and have done lines of cocaine in front of him.
