Looks like there's more opera research out in regard to Madison Cawthorn.
Madi's touch has just put out a series of tweets showing that there's some more
incriminating information out there about representative Madison Cawthorn,
a Republican lawmaker, freshman lawmaker who had recently accused members
of his own party of inviting him to cocaine-fueled sex parties.
Apparently the republican establishment did not take kindly to that.
And we've been seeing a steady flow of terrible stories about
him published in right-wing publications.
And Midas touch is now also sharing a video that they describe as new
leaked video shows, GOP Representative Madison Cawthorn
caught with a male schedule, ear's hand on his crotch.
So let's take a look at that video and then I'll fill in the blanks.
>> I feel the passion and desire,
would like to see your naked body beneath my hands.
>> Me too.
All right, >> [LAUGH]
>> Yeah, yeah.
>> Look, I mean, I don't personally care about something like that,
although it's a little awkward, especially if it's someone working for him, but
this is something that might really turn off Republican voters within his district.
I think that's probably the reason why this was leaked to the press.
And remember this is also in addition to other stories that have been
leaked to the press.
Just yesterday we shared a story that was published in the Washington examiner,
essentially accusing Madison Cawthorn of trading on insider information,
particularly manipulating the value of Cryptocurrency.
Washington examiner is not a left-wing publication,
is very much a right-wing publication and as David dole mentioned on twitter.
The fact that the Republican establishment seems to be digging up dirt on
Madison Cawthorn so aggressively, really makes one start to believe that there
are in fact sex parties that are full of cocaine and
all sorts of other activity happening among the republican members of Congress.
I don't know for sure, but they really don't like him at this point.
>> Yeah, so guys you have to understand who's doing this and
why they're doing this because almost everyone would give
you the story without giving you the context.
And this is perfect because we hate Madison Cawthorn.
But nonetheless,
we're gonna be fair to them because that's what you're supposed to do in news.
You're supposed to give the full news whether you like the person or you don't.
This is definitely oppo research and
journalists will take opposition research from political opponents and
never tell you, hey, this got planted by people who don't like him.
That is important context for you to know,
because apparently they had this tape all along, but they never shared it with you.
They're sharing it with you now because they wanna end his political career.
Now, you might look at that and go, okay, that's fine, I don't care.
I still don't like it and I'm gonna vote against him, etc.
But the context is clearly relevant.
Now is it Democrats or is it Republicans?
It seems to be based on the context clues.
Obviously Republicans.
Why?
Well, he's been against the Democrats the whole time.
He's one of the most vituperative people against the Democrats.
He won his election against the Democrat and
they never ran any of these stories against him.
Well, I mean, they're Democrats.
They're losers if they only use oppo research against progressives.
My God, whenever progressives running Nina turner, Bernie Sanders,
you name it, there's nothing but oppo research.
All of a sudden Democratic leadership is lions.
And they're like, look at this, look at this.
And they said this and the guy sitting next to them said that back in
17 years ago, but against Republicans, the weakest people you'll ever see?
Almost never.
Is there any OPPO Research, right?
In this case, Cawthorn criticizes republicans and
says they go to OGs, all of a sudden OPPO Research shows up other than us,
almost no one tells you that it's OPPO Research.
And that it's Republicans trying to bury their own because he dared to criticize
them and maybe in this part, we don't know, we know that they're angry.
They said it publicly and that they were trying to get him and
this is them trying to get what we don't know is, are they angry?
Just because he made up that story that made him look bad?
Or are they angry?
Because that story is true?
>> Yeah, that's the real question here and who knows what's gonna come out next.
But let me just buttress Ginx point regarding Democrats and
how this is not the party that's doing the opposition research.
Apparently it doesn't take much to do OPPO Research on Madison Cawthorn because they
also looked into Venmo transactions which Cawthorn was stupid enough to make public,
he didn't change the privacy settings to ensure that these exchanges were private.
And so, apparently the Venmo messages between Cawthorn and
the scheduler which were obtained by American muckrakers pack show
that one payment was made by Cawthorn to Smith.
That's the scheduler dated on June 17th of 2018 and
it reads getting naked for me in Sweden.
And look, I'm on Venmo right and people right,
joke like messages when they are exchanging money, it happens all the time.
I don't think it necessarily means that they're getting naked with each other, but
it doesn't matter.
They're enough Republican voters who might not know that and there are enough,
bigoted right wing voters who might be turned off by this latest leak,
but it's definitely the right wing doing this, I have no doubt.
Yeah, and look, I used a strong word, they're about Madison Cawthorn hate.
And the reason for that is, because he's constantly encouraging violence,
talking about Second Amendment rights and grabbing your guns,
and sometimes you have to do something if people disagree with you politically.
Yes, let's note the irony of the Republican Party arguing for
free speech and saying, grab your guns if someone disagrees with you.
So there's plenty of reasons to deeply dislike Madison Cawthorn and
that's my perspective.
I do.
Okay, but I don't care at all if he's gay, I don't care 1%.
Okay. So they're doing whatever they're doing
and they're the the Venmo, I don't care, they're consenting adults.
So the other day we showed a picture of him dressed up as a woman with
other women.
I don't know what he was doing with those women and I don't care,
I don't care why he was dressed up as a woman.
I do care if he's hypocritical and
tax trans people when he's apparently cross dressing.
But all of this is an effort by other Republicans to bury him.
So they're looking for in Madison, I normally,
what I call it is looking for needles in a haystack.
And so when with Bernie, they ran out of needles.
The haystack of great things he had done was so great and
there was almost no needles.
So they started making things up, he's Jewish and they called him anti-Semitic.
They were grasping at in that analogy for straws.
In Madison cadres case it's a haystack of needles.
So they're just reaching on this one.
This one. This one, this one, but
why didn't republicans?
Why don't you show us those tapes earlier and media, why don't you ever note when
someone is in the middle of getting their character assassinated?
And I want to just finally say that while we don't care what anyone's sexual
orientation is, we wouldn't judge them based on that.
I'm happy to see progressives responding to that video on Twitter by saying
lovely things like happy for you, Madison, love is love, do you boo.
And that's who we are, that's who progressives are.
Love is love.
