Madison Cawthorn as the freshman congressman faces a slew of scandals.<\/p>\n<p>Cawthorn made headlines in March after claiming he was invited to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/28\/madison-cawthorn-claims-government-leaders-invited-orgy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drug-fueled orgies<\/a> by members of <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/29\/mccarthy-cawthorn-orgy-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Congress<\/a>. Since then, several suggestive videos and pictures have come out, with a recent video allegedly showing Cawthorn naked and humping a friend in a bed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/26\/madison-cawthorn-reportedly-cited-gun-airport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cawthorn<\/a> has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/22\/rep-cawthorn-responds-photos-lingerie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">addressed the controversies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CawthornforNC\/status\/1521994807526281218?s=20&#038;t=WxtNMtTj1kHXqaNZSs88WQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">claiming<\/a> the recently leaked video is \u201cblackmail\u201d and saying he was \u201cbeing crass with a friend, trying to be funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Noah took to Cawthorn\u2019s defense, albeit while poking fun at the congressman. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/01\/trevor-noah-white-house-correspondents-dinner-speech-comedy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Most Distinguished Super Spreader\u2019: Trevor Noah Rips Corporate Media, Biden As He Mocks Hypocrisy Of COVID Rules)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan anyone explain to me why the American flag is in that video? That flag wasn\u2019t humping anybody. Why you dragging the flag into this bullshit, Madison?\u201d Noah joked before giving a brief defense of <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/27\/madison-cawthorn-insider-trading-lgbcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cawthorn,<\/a>\u00a0who released a video recently saying he grew up in the digital age which made him vulnerable to content that could be used as blackmail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs much as I do not like him, I have to agree,\u201d Noah said. \u201cSince the beginning of time, people have had the ability to insulate what they do in private from what they do in public. But now, we have a whole generation who\u2019s growing up documenting every single dumb thing they do or say or hump and, honestly, unless they\u2019re breaking the law, we\u2019re going to have to figure out how to deal with this in society. Because, thanks to phones, everyone\u2019s friends have dirt on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noah then joked that if your friends don\u2019t have the type of dirt that could derail your career, they\u2019re not true friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, you\u2019re not friends. You\u2019re just acquaintances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to admit, man, these people are coming for Madison Cawthorn. You know, in fact, the way they\u2019re coming for Madison Cawthorn, I\u2019m starting to think maybe those cocaine orgies were real,\u201d Noah said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedian and host of \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d Trevor Noah gave a rare defense Thursday night of Republican North Carolina Rep.
