George's Reads
Far-right Congressman Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina is one of all too many right wing elected officials embracing the GOP's increasingly violent rhetoric.
In his efforts to promote the lie that the 2020 election was somehow stolen by Democrats engaging in widespread election fraud, Cawthorn has urged Christians to "take our country back" amid what he believes is a "spiritual battle." He's repeatedly referred to the Capitol insurrectionists as "political prisoners." He's foreseen "bloodshed" if elections continue to be "stolen."
Now, Cawthorn is igniting further Republican hysteria by claiming Liberals want to make people "sexless" and "genderless," further threatening to run them over.
Watch below.
Madison Cawthorn says people in DC are trying to destroy western civilization; take all of our morality away; and make us genderless, sexless, and Godless.pic.twitter.com/SshRgtCEKb— PatriotTakes \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@PatriotTakes \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1636038180
Cawthorn said:
"When I see the people in Washington D.C. who are trying to insert their woke politics into our culture, trying to destroy Western civilization, trying to take all of our morality away from everyone, trying to make everyone genderless, sexless, and just absolutely Godless. I realize that the American people are sick and tired of it," he added. "We want our country back, we want our culture back, and if you want to stand in the way that, we will run you over."
The Representative's incendiary comments generated backlash.
Run people over? Conservatives people like this are destroying your party! Killing thy neighbor was never in the Bible!https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1456275795530248196\u00a0\u2026— khb (@khb) 1636120954
Run us over?? For those following the Charlottesville trial, also for those who remember Biden got 7 million more votes than the other guy.https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1456275795530248196\u00a0\u2026— Shai Franklin (@Shai Franklin) 1636120954

Every time one these nuts in Congress utters this type of hate speech an ad has to be made of it by Anti right groups to rebut this venom. If not they will continue to win elections and the culture war. In addition take them off social media it works.https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1456275795530248196\u00a0\u2026— diesel8 (@diesel8) 1636117134
