Madison Cawthorn has complete meltdown after infrastructure bill passes

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

What a fabulous Friday it was! President Biden and the Democrats came through for us, passing Biden’s infrastructure bill, and the vote was bi-partisan. It was a great night. For some of us. Not everybody was happy about this momentous achievement. And it was pretty amusing to check out some of the more loony responses.

Some MAGA folks were screaming that this bill was “communism.” Right. But amid the cheers and the occasional Maga wailings, there exists a certain person who managed to distinguish himself with his bizarre and unintentionally comedic response.

This person was North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn. Cawthorn (knife connoisseur, insurrection party, North Carolina) had what could be at best described as a melt-down and, at worst, a batshit crazy outburst. When I first saw this tweet, I was initially hopeful that it was a parody account. Surely NOBODY could POSSIBLY be that stupid.

Alas, it was not to be. This really did come from Cawthorn’s account, it would seem. And it would also seem to be a message for any Republican who voted yes on the bill. Brace yourself because here comes the crazy: “Vote for this infrastructure bill, and I will primary the hell out of you.”

As you can see, Cawthorn is clearly no intellectual. Worse, he seems to have no idea of how a primary political process actually works. Or perhaps he was so outraged at the thought of America’s roads and bridges being improved that he forgot.

One cannot be a candidate in multiple primaries as many a gleeful tweeter was quick to tell him. However, the stupidity of the tweet does not appear to matter to Cawthorn, or perhaps he is too ignorant to know how ridiculous his tweet sounded. There is always that.

My advice to Cawthorn? Invest in one of those “sounds of nature” machines. Sit back and lose yourself in the sounds of babbling brooks or gentle waves. Do SOMETHING because you sound like a fool.
