North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn blamed a drip campaign by Republicans for his scandals. He confirmed a leaked nude video of him in bed is real.

“Cawthorn supporters continue to move to Michelle V. Woodhouse fearing what will be revealed May 18.” He supported Michele Woodhouse as his replacement, before state lawmakers redrew districts and he returned to run in the 11th district. ”I really don’t even like dignifying his behavior with answers, really give him too much attention and honestly, it’s probably what he does a lot of this for, to be honest, is to get the attention.” Cawthorn recently posted on Twitter that most members of Congress could not remain in office if they had grown up with cellphones like he did. “I’m NOT backing down,” Cawthorn said on Twitter. “I told you there would be a drip drip campaign. “A new hit against me just dropped,” Cawthorn tweeted in response.

The case began in January when candidate challenges were brought against Madison Cawthorn by voters in a district that he initially decided to run in.

That led to a second challenge by voters in the 11th Congressional District. Those denials also form part of the appeal argued May 3 and also were heard by Circuit Judges Julius Richardson and Toby Heytens. Richardson was a Trump nominee, while Heytens was picked by President Joe Biden. But North Carolina's congressional map for the 2022 elections was altered twice since then because of redistricting litigation that changed the district that Cawthorn decided to run in this fall. But Millen countered by saying the Constitution makes clear that insurrectionists can't be members of Congress, just like teenagers or citizens of other countries. The voters cite Section 3 of the 14th Amendment ratified in 1868 which is designed to prevent congressmen who had fought on the Confederate side during the Civil War from returning to Congress. A federal judge in Georgia last month said she disagreed with Myers and ruled the 1872 Amnesty Act didn't apply to Greene. In the meantime, Bopp suggested, elections will work out potential conflict. U.S. District Judge Richard Myers ruled for Cawthorn in March and prevented the board from formally examining whether he should remain on ballots, and the voters appealed. This is about the law. But this is not about the facts. The amendment does allow Congress to pass laws that can remove such restrictions. They will be passed on to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who will ultimately determine whether Greene is qualified.

Libowitz argued that because the rules are pegged to the full calendar year, the previous campaign payments would be retroactively included when Harp tripped the senior staff scale. And because he appears to have qualified as senior staff at the last minute, Harp’s 2021 salary would also require him to file a disclosure report this year accounting for his 2021 finances. Not that this particularly helps him: Cawthorn’s campaign paid Harp’s LLC over $22,865 in the final quarter of 2021.” “After looking over Cawthorn’s filings, it appears they were trying to keep Harp just under the senior staff level to pay him well above what he’s allowed to make from the campaign, but may not have been able to successfully pull off the scheme,” Libowitz said. For one, it confirms that staff believed Harp wasn’t subject to the outside income limitations. That company has also received tens of thousands of dollars from a PAC belonging to Harp’s mom.

The office’s congressional expense reports show that Harp made about $1,500 less than the annual threshold that would qualify him as senior staff. House ethics rules stipulate that senior congressional staff can only earn $29,595 in outside income each year. Congressional pay data shows that North Carolina Republican paid his chief of staff, Blake Harp, $131,278 in 2021.

On Wednesday, an opposition group that is now actively campaigning against freshman Congressman Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina released a video that showed the Republican lawmaker naked in bed and thrusting his groin at another person's head.

Cawthorn in a tweet called the video "blackmail" and said it showed him "being crass with a friend" years ago.

Cawthorn also lashed out Politico last month after the outlet published photos of him posing in lingerie at a party. It marked the second time Cawthorn was caught bringing a gun to an airport. But Cawthorn's distractions have spurred criticism from within his own party — especially after he claimed in a March podcast interview to have knowledge of lawmakers doing drugs and inviting him to orgies. The video, details of which have not been independently verified by CNBC, was released less than two weeks before the Republican primary election in Cawthorn's district. "I told you there would be a drip drip campaign. "I'm NOT backing down," Cawthorn's tweet said.
