Madison Cawthorn faces yet another controversy after video of the Republican cavorting nude on a bed with another person surfaced and went viral.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA new hit against me just dropped,\u201d the GOP lawmaker\u00a0<a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CawthornforNC\/status\/1521994807526281218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:tweeted on Wednesday\" data-rapid_p=\"16\" data-v9y=\"1\">tweeted<\/a> on Wednesday, apparently acknowledging the veracity of the video. \u201cYears ago, in this video, I was being crass with a friend, trying to be funny. We were acting foolish, and joking. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m NOT backing down. I told you there would be a drip drip campaign. Blackmail won\u2019t win. We will,\u201d Cawthorn wrote.<\/p>\n<p>In the 30-second clip, what appears to be a nude Cawthorn is shown in a bed and then climbing up to put his groin in what appears to be a man\u2019s face, at which time he begins thrusting. Then a voice can be heard saying \u201cOh ma yah yah oh\u201d repeatedly, and another male voice says, \u201cstick it in his face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest video comes after photos surfaced showing Cawthorn dressed in women\u2019s lingerie. At that time, Cawthorn also said it was a joke, saying the photos came from a \u201cgoofy\u201d game on a cruise. Then a short video emerged that showed one of Cawthorn\u2019s male staff members from his congressional office grabbing the 26-year-old lawmaker\u2019s crotch. The latter video has sparked an ethics complaint, The Washington Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2022\/apr\/29\/cawthorn-crotch-grabbing-video-becomes-centerpiece\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe video shows Mr. Cawthorn, 26, in the driver\u2019s seat of a car with\u00a0his scheduler Stephen Smith, 23, who is sitting in the passenger seat with his hand in his boss\u2019s genital area,\u201d the Times wrote. \u201c\u2018I feel the passion and desire and would like to see a naked body beneath my hands,\u2019 Mr. Cawthorn, who uses a wheelchair because\u00a0he is paraplegic, says in an embellished accent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The controversial Republican has been all over the headlines of late, with allegations of insider trading, reports that he tried to bring a loaded handgun onto a plane \u2014 for the second time \u2014 and driving with a revoked license. Cawthorn also recently claimed top officials in Washington, D.C., invited him to orgies and did cocaine as he watched.<\/p>\n<p>Cawthorn later admitted that those allegations were \u201cexaggerated.\u201d After Meeting with Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the House GOP leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/03\/30\/cawthorn-mccarthy-orgy-cocaine-exaggerated\">told<\/a> Axios, \u201cIt\u2019s just frustrating. There\u2019s no evidence behind his statements. And when I sit down with him \u2026 I told him you can\u2019t make statements like that, as a member of Congress, that affects everybody else and the country as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just told him he\u2019s lost my trust, he\u2019s gonna have to earn it back, and I laid out everything I find is unbecoming. And, you can\u2019t just say, \u2018You can\u2019t do this again.\u2019 I mean, he\u2019s, he\u2019s got a lot of members very upset,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
