Things aren't looking too good for Rep. Madison Cawthorn in March 2022. Days after he was caught calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "a thug", the Rep. dubbed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi an alcoholic. He may have gotten some chuckles from the attendees of the event where he made those comments, but online he was widely criticized for his words. Yet again, Cawthorn finds himself being slammed by social media for his words.
No stranger to controversy, the embattled representative once called the Vatican City's vaccine mandate illegal and in February 2021 was embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal. Yet, like many of his party colleagues, he's only doubled down on false claims and accusations, despite widespread public anger and trolling. His latest attack at Pelosi appears to be part of an ongoing GOP effort, based on doctored videos shared in the past.
