THREAD ON MADISON CAWTHORN, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR NC11: Over the last month, stories and investigations have shown that Cawthorn's self-made identity is a fabrication. He's a fraud. He's accused of sexual assault. He's a liar. He's unfit for NC11.

Cawthorn says he is a "real estate investor." A story by @estherxlwang shows that, per his financial disclosure form, Cawthorn said he "made most of my money in the New York Stock Exchange." There is no job listed.

Cawthorn's real estate company is named "SPQR Holdings LLC." He is the sole employee. SPQR had only one real estate transaction in 2019 when Cawthorn bought a six-acre property in Georgia for $20,000, ostensibly so that he could give himself a job title.

Cawthorn has misled the public about his nomination to the Naval Academy. He suggests that his plans were "derailed" by his car accident, but according to a 2017 deposition his application was already rejected before the accident.

As recently as today, August 26, Madison Cawthorn is *still* using his accident to lie to the public about the sequence of events related to the Naval Academy. In the new ad, he calls himself a "patriot."

In texts with his friend where he used the n-word, Cawthorn said the night with Krulikas was "so so fun man! She was a really special girl."

The DCCC criticized Cawthorn for saying that the Eagle’s Nest, where Adolf Hitler vacationed, was on his "bucket list." He referred to Hitler as "Führer" but called him a "supreme evil." In response to the DCCC, Cawthorn said he will "conquer you." Not his first use of "conquer."
Andrew Knapp, Cawthorn's campaign organizational director, said Cawthorn has not been in communication with the Jewish community in NC11 because "it’s not a particularly large community." https://www.jta.org/2020/08/12/united-states/sad-disappointed-worried-madison-cawthorns-visit-to-hitlers-vacation-home-alarms-his-nc-districts-jews

During his trip to the Texas border wall with Brian Kolfage, Cawthorn "echoed discredited child sex trafficking claims promoted by the extremist conspiracy theory movement" known as QAnon. He denounced QAnon but embraced the theory: https://avlwatchdog.org/cawthorn-mingles-with-far-right-fringe/

There is also audio of Cawthorn recounting his accident at Patrick Henry College. He says his best friend "left him to die" ( @ 7:04)
Compare that w/ "Brad saved his life" ( @ 1:13)
