Hear ye, hear ye, the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment is not cheap to oppose. Tis far easier to simply live a clean life and not have to hire lawyers to defend your right to run for public office in the first place. Madison Cawthorn is finding out the hard way the truth of this common sense morality tale.
As you may recall, efforts were made to block Cawthorn and Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for reelection. They both won, but the fact is Greene has millions and can afford to squander a couple of hundred grand on trivia, whereas Cawthorn presently doesn’t have a job.
But he does have, we are told, a $1.1 million dollar home and man is it gorgeous. Hit this link and take a look. What’s that you say? How is he buying a million dollar house with no job? Beats the hell out of me. Madison doesn’t know much but he must know something that we don’t.
Meanwhile, he may have a lien on it faster than you can say caveat emptor. The lawyers who defended his right to run for office a second time want their dough and they want it now. And they’re not the only ones. Dead State:
An Indiana law firm is suing outgoing GOP congressman Madison Cawthorn for over $193,000 in unpaid legal fees for defense work the firm did in a case challenging Cawthorn’s eligibility to seek reelection, according to Courthouse News.
“Mr. Cawthorn served as a Congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives, is over 18 years of age, and at all times material to this matter was authorized under the laws of both North Carolina and Indiana to enter into legally enforceable contracts. Mr. Cawthorn signed the Agreement on his own behalf,” the complaint states.

Cawthorn also owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds that he was supposed to hold in trust and then pay back — and he spent it all.
I don’t know how you can owe people that kind of money and be buying fancy digs in Florida with no job. Truly I don’t. Are his parents financing this latest shindig? Trump maybe? No way. Roger Stone? Surely you jest.
My best speculation is that Maddy isn’t done flying yet. He’s still high up there in the air, with his wax wings, and trying to make a comeback along with the other has-been down the beach, whom he worships.
We have seen Cawthorn lose his primary but we haven’t seen him wake up and smell the coffee. Ergo, we are likely to see him go splat.
Someone is going to need to slap some sense into Madatsome Hawthorn the way he slaps his sapling.
Hasn’t worked so far in his life. Wont after this either.
He might legally be an adult but is he legally competent? He’s always seemed several bricks short of a load.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Maddie’s current “job” is keeping his mouth shut about certain other representatives and senators and THEIR actions between November 3, 2020 and January 6, 2021.
You think Margie and Matt and Josh might be sending him some cash to keep his mouth shut? He might have blown through most of it with the house but I’m sure he’s still got more coming in–probably not enough to pay off the people he needs to be paying. It just depends on how many people are paying him to keep quiet. (Maybe he should be getting ready for a tell-all book. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could merit a 7- or even 8-figure deal, especially if he named names in the process.)
