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.....
It's a sitting member of Congress, I linked to his official House page, doing an interview where he says he's been invited to orgies and seen other politicians do drugs.
Motivation-wise, I'm trying to see why he'd lie. If he named-names, that wouldn't be proof of anything either, you'd want to see photos or some such.
Historically speaking, given what we know of Kennedy (Senator and President), Senator Menedez and his trips to the Dominican Republic, Bill Clinton, and going back not much longer in time to Hoover's blackmail happy FBI, what he says certainly fits well known and undisputed facts about sexual degeneracy and Washington DC.
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.
