Rep. Madison Cawthorn told Fox News that North Carolina's State Board of Elections is close to keeping him off the ballot in the 2022 midterms.
Cawthorn, a huge proponent of Donald Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election, is facing real consequences for his actions before, during, and after the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
In February, I wrote about the good news: NC Board Of Elections Says It Can Eliminate Cawthorn As A Candidate
In a blow to Rep. Madison Cawthorn, the North Carolina State Board of Elections asserts it has the power to disqualify him from running for office if he aided in the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6.
The NC State Board used section 3 of the 14th amendment to make the case.
On Monday night, Carlson asked, "How close are they to preventing you from running for office?"
Cawthorn replied, "Tucker, they are actually very close."
Tucker was flabbergasted. I hope this is true.
As with all Trump supporters and enablers in Congress; they can never do any wrong, and it's always some "deep state conspiracy" to harm them.
“And make no mistake, Tucker, this is not just about a 26-year-old from western North Carolina in a wheelchair," he said.
it didn't take Cawthorn long at all to play the disability card. His anti-American and anti-democratic actions are never to be questioned.
Cawthorn then gave a dire warning to MAGA cultists.
