Trump inner circle distances itself from Madison Cawthorn: ‘I don’t see MAGA voters being quite this forgiving’

On Friday, The New York Times reported that Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) is starting to lose support from former President Donald Trump’s allies as scandals continue to mount.

“The deluge of revelations and charges have left him on an island even within his own party,” reported Jonathan Weisman and Annie Karni. “A political group supporting Senator Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, has been pouring money into an ad campaign accusing Mr. Cawthorn of being a fame-seeking liar. The group is supporting the campaign of a more mainstream Republican, State Senator Chuck Edwards, who is running against Mr. Cawthorn. And the far-right, anti-establishment wing of the party now views the first-term congressman with similar skepticism, as someone who is falsely selling himself as a gatekeeper in his state to former President Donald J. Trump.”

In recent weeks, Cawthorn has been accused of violating insider trading laws for an anti-Biden cryptocurrency scheme, pulled over for driving on a suspended license, stopped while trying to bring a gun through an airport security checkpoint for the second time, and images have circulated of him partying in women’s lingerie.
