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.

This guy's House webpage.....
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
