Madison Cawthorn Says He's Trying To ‘Bust Out’ Capitol Rioters From Jail

Republican Representative Madison Cawthorn is facing calls for his expulsion after a recent speech where he said that he and other Republicans were trying to "bust out" the Capitol Rioters from jail. It was clear that he didn't actually mean breaking them out of prison, but he went on to suggest that they were planning an event in DC that left many worried about a second January 6th situation.

This past Sunday, Republican representative Madison Cawthorne spoke at a rally in Macon, Georgia, where he suggested that he and some other Republicans were trying to, in his words, bust out these so-called political prisoners from the January 6th capital riot. Here's what Cawthorne had to say. The big problem is we don't actually know who all the political prisoners are. And so if we were really actually to go and try to bust them out, and let me tell you the reason why they have taken these political prisoners as theirs, they're trying to make an example because they don't want to see the mass protests going on in Washington.

Hey, so you said you got

To bust them out, but you don't even know who they are. And for the record, I don't think for a second, that Cawthorne literally meant that he and other Republicans or anybody else were going to actually go to jail and try to do a prison break. I don't think that's what he was trying to say. But anyway, then somebody in the crowd jumps up and yells this. When will you call us to Washington again again, which is a pretty clear reference to January 6th and then call through in responding to this. We're actively working on this. We have a few plans in motion. I can't make public right now. Um, kind of sounds to me

Like your got another

Insurrection going on there, Madison, which of course makes it no surprise that now Madison Cawthorne is facing calls from the public to be expelled from Congress. Although of course, as we've seen nothing will happen to Madison. Cawthorne Kevin McCarthy leader of the Republicans is not going to do anything. Democrats don't have the numbers to vote, to expel him from Congress. So Madison call just like all the other lies. He is told that, got him into office. And if you haven't looked at this dude's history, uh, I suggest you do it. I'll tell you more in just a moment. But anyway, nothing's going to happen to them. Just like nothing really happened to Marjorie Taylor green, just like nothing happened to Matt gates. Nothing happened to Jim Jordan. Nothing's happening to Lauren. Bobert nothing happens to these people when they go out and say these crazy things that could end up getting people hurt, or when we have fairly significant evidence that they broke the law, nothing happens to anyone ever.

So again, the big headline obviously is Madison. Cawthorne suggest they bust these people out of jail. Again, I think that's beside the point, because again, I don't think he actually meant he's going to go and bust people out of prison. To me, the bigger issue is his call saying, well, we're working on that. I can't tell you it's all a secret, but you're coming back and that's, what's terrifying here. Madison call them call thorns, excuse me. I believe now needs to be hauled in front of the January 6th select committee. I think that's a good idea. Not necessarily because he was involved in January 6th, honestly. I don't know the extent of his involvement whatsoever, but he's still pushing the big lie. And he did in that speech. Um, and saying we have plans we're working on. Yeah, I think if there's a second insurrection, you know, January 6th, part two, I think that's the kind of thing the committee needs to know about.

So committee, you have my suggestion right now, go ahead and call up Madison, call thorn, tell him to get his in there and get some answers from him. Now about the history of Madison Cawthorne I was telling you about, and I covered this at ring of fire Cawthorne has been accused by multiple women that he went to college with of inappropriate sexual behavior and sexual advances, multiple women. He also lied, lied about acceptance into a military academy that he was totally going to do. But then of course he had his accident and became paralyzed. So he was not able to, and then the academy had to come out and say, yeah, we actually never accepted you. So we don't know what. So the guy lied about trying to get into the military.
