Donald,
please show important clips from this movie on the big screen at your rallies
it would help bring clarity to your supporters, and to people still on the fence, as it is a complicated issue for many in light of the constant drumbeat of cabal/deep state calling it the "big lie"
thank you
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) said he was just "acting foolish, and joking" with "a friend" in response to a video he characterized as the latest hit piece meant to destroy his political career.
The 26-year-old congressman, who has been ensnared in a string of controversies in recent weeks, released a statement Wednesday appearing to confirm the authenticity of a short clip showing him naked in bed atop another man, getting physical and making noises.
The American Muckrakers PAC, a group trying to achieve Cawthorn's defeat in this year's election, posted the video on its website, FireMadison.com, according to a Charlotte Observer report.
"Blackmail won't win. We will," Cawthorn said Wednesday without elaborating further.
Cawthorn, an unabashed devotee to former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" brand of politics, was first elected to office in 2020 to represent North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, filling a seat vacated by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Last November, Cawthorn announced he would run for reelection in the 13th District but reverted back to the 11th District in February.
A little more than a month ago, Cawthorn drew headlines for claiming that colleagues in Congress were doing cocaine and inviting him to orgies. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy met with Cawthorn, after which McCarthy told Axios that Cawthorn admitted to him that he had "exaggerated" such suggestions.
Last week, officials at the Transportation Security Administration reportedly confiscated a gun from Cawthorn, what would be the second time Cawthorn had been caught trying to bring a gun through an airport since being elected to Congress.
Cawthorn has also faced scrutiny for his use of taxpayer money at a luxury resort and questions about whether he violated insider trading laws. Last week, an ethics group filed a complaint against him that alleges he had an inappropriate relationship with one of his staffers.
The congressman is no stranger to making provocative statements himself. In March, he labeled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "thug." Last August, Cawthorn declared, "If our election systems continue to be rigged and continued to be stolen, then it's going to lead to one place — and that's bloodshed."
Cawthorn's behavior drew a harsh rebuke from Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). Tillis said Cawthorn, who faces several challengers in his May 17 primary, has "temperament and judgment issues."
Cawthorn is facing a lawsuit from voters contending that he should be booted from the ballot for engaging in an “insurrection or rebellion” in violation of the 14th Amendment.
A lower court blocked the decision, but that ruling is being challenged in a federal appeals court.

Every public school in Oregon — including elementary institutions — will soon be required to provide tampons and other feminine products in boys' bathrooms with "instructions on how to use" them.
The controversial requirement is in accordance with the state's new Menstrual Dignity Act, signed into law by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown last year, which mandates that menstrual products be made available in "every student bathroom."
Following the bill's passage, the Oregon Department of Education developed and distributed a "Medical Dignity for Students" toolkit to aid local districts and set forth a phased plan for districts to meet the law's standards and requirements.
Effective immediately, each school is required to have menstrual product dispensers in at least two bathrooms. But by June 2023, dispensers are required in every student bathroom, KGW-TV reported. The department emphasized that schools must "consider all-gender access to the products."
Sasha Grenier, a sexual health specialist with the department, said, "This new program will help students participate actively in classes and school activities by alleviating some of the economic strain and experiences of shame that are often barriers for menstruating people accessing their education."
Michela Bedard, executive director of Portland-based advocacy group PERIOD, added in a press release that "this is a progressive policy, but also a bipartisan one … because menstruation does not discriminate from race, class or political affiliation."
Apparently, menstruation does not discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity, either. The state's resources for abiding by the law are littered with inclusive phrases such as "students who menstruate" and "menstruating and non-menstruating students." The department argues the law promotes "menstrual equity."
The toolkit goes on to say the new law aims to "affirm the right to menstrual dignity for transgender, intersex, nonbinary, and two-spirit students."
Portland Public Schools is reportedly excited to begin its planned implementation of the every bathroom requirement.
In a recent statement, the district announced that it had made feminine products available in "female and all-gender restrooms" and added that the products would be provided in "all remaining restrooms, including boys' bathrooms," by the start of the next school year.
The progressive law, however, is facing a fair amount of pushback, as well.
In a recent column, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins blasted the "absurd" law, noting that local taxpayers would be on the hook for thousands of new tampon dispensers, which are expected to cost roughly $400 a machine.
He added that in most cases, all the equity-forward measure will accomplish is giving school janitors more to clean up as young boys undoubtedly take advantage of the new and unusual prank materials.
"Obviously, state leaders didn't bother to consult their counterparts in Illinois, where a similar move has literally opened the floodgates to expensive plumbing issues and mischief," Perkins wrote. "Case in point: campuses like Loyola University, where janitors are dealing with all kinds of pranks, tampering, and vandalism.
Sanitary pads "would end up on the mirrors, in the sinks, down the toilet, and completely thrown out," one students' group complained, according to Perkins.
