I believe that EVERY new congressman or senator is blackmailed from DAY ONE. They’re told in no uncertain terms that they’re through if they don’t toe the deep state line (Dem or Rep, doesn’t matter). I wish Madison well.

I just saw the video. It’s on the Daily Mail. If it’s real and I guess Cawthorn has confirmed it, he’s finished as a politician and he’ll resign from Congress any day now. I still believe his cocaine fueled orgy invites, but I also think he swings both ways. He could weather the storm as a democrat, not as a Republican. Stick a fork in him, he’s done.

That would certainly explain a lot of their behavior and why Washington DC was so adamantly against Judge Roy Moore becoming a Senator.

I've long noted they go to extraordinary lengths to torpedo any outsiders who want to reform the existing system.
