Congressman Madison Coatorn (RN.C.) said Friday that the photos Posted by Politico that showed her wearing lingerie, were “silly vacation photos, taken at a cruise game.”
A political news site posted the photos on Friday, noting that they were taken “as if in a party setting.” The site incorporated the images into the congressman’s comments in defense of “traditional values”.
Politico said the photos were returned to publication by a man who had previously been with Cawthorn and his campaign, and confirmed by another who had also been close to Cawthorn before.
However, the website acknowledged that it was still not clear when the photos were taken.
However, anyone hoping this is a reference to Cawthorn’s earlier claims that Washington insiders invited him to drink cocaine and participate in orgies may be disappointed with North Carolina Republicans ’response to this story.
In a Twitter post after the article was published, Cotorn said the photos were “silly vacation photos on a cruise,” which he said were “taken before I went to Congress.”
I think the left thinks that stupid vacation photos (kinun before I ran to Congress) somehow hurt?
They ran out of gun things for me …

The photos garnered attention on social media, but many noticed that the factor raising their eyebrows was not Cautorn’s involvement in the lingerie, but the pretense seen in the photos.
The conservative congressman is an enemy of the LGBTQ community. He recently gave a speech on the ward floor where he said that a woman’s definition is “XX chromosome, not talivaker”.
Of course, Twitter users have thoughts.
We must be particularly clear: history is hypocrisy.
There is nothing wrong with wearing lingerie, something very bad about promoting persecution of Americans in a transsexual and gender inappropriate way. https://t.co/IAMeSw2kyb

I really don’t care, Madison Coatorn is in lingerie. But I wonder if he controls the lives of trans and non -trans people. There’s someone in Florida today who’s a trans kid who just wants to wear a bow tie but can’t because people like Cawthorn make their lives hell.

Madison Cawthorn, the comments from us, are only indicative of your hypocrisy. If conservative white men are a little relaxed and no more nonsense for people other than you, you can learn about hair loss and laughter in life.
