RALEIGH, N.C. — U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn on Wednesday night acknowledged the authenticity of a video posted to a website and social media showing him naked in bed with “a friend.”
“A new hit against me just dropped,” Cawthorn tweeted in response. “Years ago, in this video, I was being crass with a friend, trying to be funny. We were acting foolish and joking. That’s it.”
Cawthorn, who at 26 is the youngest member of Congress, is a conservative Christian who has accused his colleagues in Congress of having orgies, claimed Democrats are destroying the nuclear family and criticized transgender people.
