Photographs obtained by POLITICO appear to show Madison Cawthorn, the embattled Republican congressman from North Carolina who recently accused his GOP colleagues of inviting him to orgies, wearing lingerie in what appears to be a party setting.
Cawthorn, 26, was raised in a conservative Baptist community in Henderson County, North Carolina, and has staked his political persona on arch-traditional Christian principles and the insistence of the importance of a kind of hypermasculinity. His comments about “the sexual perversion” in Washington made on a podcast, which he later admitted were exaggerated, drew the public disapproval and disavowal of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as well as other Republican leaders including those in his North Carolina congressional caucus.
The revelation of the two photos is the latest in a series of unflattering headlines for the freshman member of Congress in the run-up to the primary in his first re-election bid. The primary in North Carolina is May 17. Cawthorn has seven Republican opponents who see him as vulnerable.

POLITICO could not independently verify the photos, which are screenshots of original images. They were provided to POLITICO by a person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign. A second person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign confirmed the origin of the photos. The date the photos were taken is unclear, though they appear to show Cawthorn sitting in a wheelchair, indicating the event happened after his accident. In the photos, he is wearing a distinctive pendant necklace that has appeared in other images and videos of Cawthorn. The photos have started to circulate among political rivals.

First Kevin McCarthy, now Madison Cawthorn.
Why can’t a young man wear girlie undies?
This poor guy was a hero and they’re out to destroy him.
“‘Garbage outlet’ POLITICO gets called out after publishing photos of Madison Cawthorn participating in a game show on a cruise”

Some silliness he joined in on a cruise before he became a politician.
Dumb shite to do, but not the scandal they try to make it.
Yes, ...but he is surrounded by women.
Maybe he felt like being a fake woman that day which makes it okay according to libtards 🤪
So is Politico in the business of outing LGBTQ+++?
Is Michael Kruse a Pedo Rat?
And there you have it. Politico is no different than Piers Morgan.
If this is not a deep fake, it does surprise me. However...
There are reformed crack dealers I trust more than Mr. or Mrs. Goodie Two-Shoes, left or right wing. Being self-righteous usually means a dark secret is lurking behind.
But I reserve judgement until this is proven real. Not sure if it’s photoshop or real.
I don’t care!
I sent Madison $50 after he appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room, and he sent me an actual letter thanking me for my donation. It wasn’t a copied artifact made to look like an original; it was an original. I will admit that it might have been signed by an aid, rather than by Madison himself.
I will be sending Madison another $50 dollars and Marjorie Taylor Greene can expect another $50 donation from me too.
THIS IS LAWFARE and the enemy needs to be destroyed! F*** Y** DEEP STATE!
Why didn’t you post Madison’s response simpson96?
“Exclusive: Madison Cawthorn photos reveal him wearing women’s lingerie in public setting”
Ok, but which Republicans DO NOT do the same?
Madison Cawthorn
@CawthornforNC
I guess the left thinks goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise (taken waaay before I ran for Congress) is going to somehow hurt me?
They’re running out of things to throw at me...

“But I reserve judgement until this is proven real.”
How about until you have the full story, as well? I’ve seen people do silly things for good reasons and seen them get beat up for it. Maybe it was a friend’s bachelorette party or something - assuming it is real. Politico is as dishonest as the NYT or CNN.
Photoshop can do anything .
I don’t know this guy at all, but I do know fake photos and more concerning, deep fake videos are coming.
But the pics may be real and the guys a sicko
Is the writer a biologist?
Neither the photo, nor the cruise ship story behind it are a negative. Not in any way.
