First rule of Congress: you do not talk about the coke-fueled orgies.

The House Ethics Committee has launched a probe into embattled Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) to determine whether he improperly promoted a cryptocurrency without disclosing he had a financial interest in it and whether he had an improper relationship with a staff member employed in his congressional office.
The announcement of the probe came on Monday, after the committee voted to establish an investigative subcommittee on May 11. The committee noted that establishment of an investigative subcommittee does not mean that a violation has occurred.
Cawthorn, a 26-year-old first-term congressman, lost his May 17 primary election to Republican state Sen. Chuck Edwards after a long string of scandals that included the two matters being investigated by the committee.
The outgoing congressman’s office is maintaining that he has done nothing wrong.
“We welcome the opportunity to prove that Congressman Cawthorn committed no wrongdoing and that he was falsely accused by partisan adversaries for political gain,” Blake Harp, Cawthorn’s chief of staff, told The Hill in a statement. “This inquiry is a formality. Our office isn’t deterred in the slightest from completing the job the patriots of Western North Carolina sent us to Washington to accomplish.”
If Matt Gaetz getting done up on fake jailbait charges didn’t send the message, then Madison Cawthorn getting run out of office and then investigated is going to send the message.
Congress is a club, and they do not tolerate the presence of people who are not on board with the club agenda.
The club agenda is Jewish, homosexual, and weird.
