Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) is leaving Congress after one term, but other Republicans don't seem to care much what he does with the rest of his life.
The 27-year-old lawmaker lost his GOP primary after a series of personal missteps, including a pair of citations for driving on a revoked license and two more for taking a gun through an airport, and Republicans say his once-bright future has dimmed considerably, reported the Washington Post.
[He lacks] attention to personal discipline and conduct, said political consultant Paul Shumaker, who advised GOP primary winner Chuck Edwards over Cawthorn. Im talking about the speeding tickets, taking the gun back into the airport. It gives the impression of being above the law. To rebuild his career, hes going to have to address and prove stability and credibility. Those are two litmus tests, and thats a function of time.......
"He needs to get his act together, he needs to grow up, said syndicated radio host John Fredericks, who backed Cawthorn in 2020 but didn't in this year's primary. After all the shenanigans, he deserved to get beat. In two years, he demonstrated an incredible lack of maturity.

And if he had won his primary, the Repubs would be backing him and making every excuse in the book

He has checked out of doing his job since losing the primary. He's missed 86 votes

I don't care what he does either, as long as he obeys all of the laws
