Rep. Madison Cawthorn revealed last week that since moving to Washington, D.C., he has been invited to orgies with politicians and saw powerful people do “key bumps” of cocaine in front of him, all while the media collected scandalous stories to blackmail people.
Speaking to John Lovell on the Warrior Poet Society podcast, Cawthorn was asked if House of Cards, the show starring Kevin Spacey as the Democratic chief whip and his “secret life of corruption and power and money and perversion,” was anything to close to the reality of what goes on in Washington DC.
Cawthorn said he was astonished at the levels of “sexual perversion” that happen in the nation’s capital.

Where did this "we" come from?
At most you can say that what he says, if taken as true, is a result of confirmation bias due to a triangulation of data from alternate sources saying the same thing. Discounting what he says by asking for higher standards of proof is a kind of moving the goalposts form of denial. He didn't say Ted Cruz was doing lines and Mitch McConnel was at an orgy, where most people would naturally ask for proof, like a Marian Barry video as evidence.
He said that this current crop of politicians in DC were engaged in what are already widely regarded as typical politician behaviors: hypocritically doing drugs and engaging in sexual proclivities. Please don't say you are asking for proof on that.
What color is the sky?
No, I'm asking you a leading question. I'm trying to get you somewhere, where it might be possible, maybe, to get through your armor to have an honest dialogue. What color is the sky on this planet?
The Earth is not a spinning ball.
