Madison Cawthorn to lose his primary election coming up on Tuesday. If you didn\u2019t know this, a quick Google search of \u201cMadison Cawthorn in lingerie\u201d or \u201cCawthorn humps his cousin\u2019s face\u201d can give you some deeper insight into how badly the GOP has wanted him to lose.<\/p>\n<p>With less than a week until Election Day in NC, Republicans have been scrambling to figure out what they\u2019re going to do if the freshman congressman happens to prevail in his reelection bid. For starters, they\u2019ve considered less favorable committee assignments along with warnings of further stringent punishments should Cawthorn\u2019s controversial escapades continue, per CNN\u2019s reports with interviews conducted with over a dozen House Republican lawmakers. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It seems that even the more Trump based side of the Republican conference blatantly told reporters that Cawthorn has been warned that if he continues down the same path that the GOP would call for him to be removed from the conference if he breaks the law again. Republicans seem to be furious over Cawthorn\u2019s shenanigans like attempting to bring a firearm onto a plane twice and being caught driving with a revoked license twice in the last five years in NC. One Republican lawmaker told reporters, &#8220;And I don&#8217;t mean kicked out of (the House Freedom) Caucus, I mean kicked out of Conference. Voting him out. He&#8217;s a black eye on our conference.&#8221; As of the reporting of this story, it still seems that these methods of ousting Cawthorn have still yet to be discussed, or approved, by the caucus\u2019s leadership; but a number of members have been throwing the idea around \u2014 and it\u2019s picking up traction. This demonstrably shows the House Republicans\u2019 frustration with Cawthorn increasing over the last couple of couple of months.<\/p>\n<p>Cawthorn\u2019s spokesperson responded to statement requests, stating \u201cWe&#8217;re declining to participate in this piece,&#8221; spokesman Luke Ball wrote in an email. It\u2019s also been reported that members have told Cawthorn to \u201cget his act together\u201d or face the repercussions of failing to do so. The uproar really sparked after Cawthorn went on a podcast claiming that his colleagues had invited him to cocaine fueled orgies. It\u2019s also been rumored that he may not be invited back to the House Freedom Caucus next year, even if he is re-elected. The source emphasized how the group is \u201cinvite only\u201d and focused on the fact that Cawthorn will have to \u201cown up to his mistakes\u201d if he expects to be apart of the group.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s looking like Cawthorn\u2019s future within is own party is uncertain for the once GOP rising star. He is becoming increasingly isolated as more House Republicans continue to distance themselves from the party\u2019s now biggest nuisance. If the reports are correct, it doesn\u2019t look like Cawthorn\u2019s troubles will end anytime soon even if he does manage to clinch the GOP nomination for his seat.<\/p>\n<p>Oh Maddy, didn\u2019t anyone ever tell you that the first rule about the cocaine fueled orgies is to never discuss them?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher It\u2019s no secret that the GOP has been privately (and publicly) rooting for North Carolina Rep.
