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.

Great. No imagine if you read books, watched movies, and listened to other people tell you the sky was blue, but for some reason you couldn't go outside to see for yourself. Would you believe them that the sky is blue? Of course you would.
What you're saying, is that since you're not a Congressmen, and you didn't witness an event yourself, then that's not proof of accusations. But specific accusations against specific people were never made. In short, you're telling us that since you can't see the sky, that a meteorologist saying the sky is blue isn't additional proof that the sky is blue.
Politicians are sleezeballs, and hypocrites, and they lie as shown throughout history, including the present day, and media types scurry for influence about them. This politician, who is new to the scene, who likely just ruined any political ambitions he has for higher office, just said that a work of fiction based on the premise of being true to life (corrupt degenerate politicians) starring the corrupt degenerate Kevin Spacey who was close friends with a corrupt degenerate president (Bill Clinton), is true to life in that its premise of corrupt degenerate politicians is true to life. The only specifics he gives, though, is a vague reference to orgies and coke. As if there have never been famous politicians messing with hookers and blow.
(p.s. Did you see the latest on this...House leadership is going to give him a dressing down. Note, they didn't deny the charge.)
You're engaging in motte and bailey debate tactic. It's pettifoggery of the worst kind.
It's not an extraordinary claim to make, by a sitting House member, that prominent politicians are doing drugs and engaging in sexual degeneracy. I could link to a dozen stories from the last decade of prominent DC politicos busted for such things. All he is saying is that some of the people there are still doing it. Call me shocked! An extraordinary claim would be politicians that are aliens.
So, the sky is blue. Thanks.
At best, you could downgrade this as just ONE MORE data point to add to all the others about sleezeball politicians. By comparison, I could tell you a brick will break a window, but you'd want to see it first I suspect.
I'm glad someone else called out this guy as well
