I live in Madison's district, let me bring everyone up to speed as much as I can:
He campaigned on how he was injured in a wreck and the co-passenger abandoned him (lie, he pulled him from wreck).
He said he was pronounced dead at the scene (lie according to medical records)
He said the accident prevented him from fulfilling his dream of joining the Naval Academy (lie, he was rejected pre-accident)
Females from his old college said they were warned not to be around him in one on one situations and there were reports of him harassing students. It's a bit unclear, but it's believed he flunked out of college after one semester. He has attributed is low grades to a brain injury sustained in his accident.
He said he and friends went on a vacation to Russia and in a casino in St Petersburg (gambling was banned there in 2009) he met a retired American Army Captain that later introduced him to his wife, an Instagram fitness influencer. They divorced 8 months later.
He's been caught twice driving on a suspended license.
He's been caught twice bringing a loaded gun into an airport.
He claimed he's been invited to Republican orgies by notable figures in D.C. and has watched them do cocaine in their offices.
He called the Ukrainian President a thug as the war started.
He briefly flirted with switching districts.
He may be involved in a financial fraud case with the "Let's Go Brandon" cryptocurrency. It appeared to be a "pump and dump"" coin that went to zero. Cawthorn apparently did not disclose his ownership of the currency and may come under investigation.
Photos wearing bras leaked
Video of his staffer groping him leaked. Apparently he has sent this young man thousands of dollars via Venmo.
I'm sure I've left some stuff out, he's hard to keep pace with. There were some lies about the Paralympics along the way somewhere.
There are 7 Republicans challenging him in the primary and he has a 19 point lead over closest challenger.
