What can you say about North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn? That he's a habitual fabricator? An apparent bigot? An armed seditionist? Yes to all of the above. But now it seems we can add a new, ghoulish entry into his ignominious collection of terrible descriptors: a guy who brings a weapon to school.
According to photographs taken this week by Jay Carey, a Democrat running to replace Cawthorn in North Carolina's 11th District, Cawthorn appeared to have a sheathed tactical blade affixed to his wheelchair while speaking against masking in local public schools at a school board meeting in Henderson County on Monday evening.
