Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) last month urged the crowd at a conservative gathering to lightly threaten lawmakers ahead of the certification of the presidential election results.

Cawthorn, speaking at a Turning Point USA event on Dec. 21, said he would help raise money for primary challengers to Republicans who dont join the right-wing effort the subvert the will of the voters.

According to The Charlotte Observer, he told the crowd:

Call your congressman and feel free, you can lightly threaten them and say, you know what, if you dont start supporting election integrity, Im coming after you, Madison Cawthorn is coming after you, everybodys coming after you.

The comments are drawing renewed attention after last weeks deadly violence as supporters of President Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Bidens victory.

The freshman lawmaker also spoke at the rally that preceded the attack, where he denounced his House colleagues as cowards, lied about the election results and declared: Wow, this crowd has some fight in it shortly before the mob engaged in actual fighting at the Capitol.

He later attempted to appeal for calm as the violence reached the House floor, and Monday he told ABC11 in Raleigh that he found the violence sickening and infuriating and that Trump had some responsibility.

I think when the president said were going to march down to the Capitol and Im going to march with you, that was a major mistake. He never shouldve directed that crowd toward the Capitol, Cawthorn told the station. The bad outcome was destined at that point.

Keep in mind that even after the attack this guy was still pushing baseless claims in the House.

This guy has to go and I don't really care how.

Conviction and sentence to death or life in prison for sedition is the only acceptable consequence here.

Apparently now he's saying Republicans shouldn't have pushed false theories....

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.)

uggggggh this fucking state

This is the moron that tweeted out "Cry more, lib" immediately after being elected. He dropped out of college after earning mostly Ds and started a real estate company which has posted no profits and has him as the sole employee. His sole qualifications are that he's good looking, he's in a wheelchair, and he's a Nazi.

Which is kind of funny since if he was in Nazi Germany they'd cut the line of Jews to kill him first because of the wheelchair.

Didn't he have a sexual assault case against him?
