Madison Cawthorn, a Republican congressman from North Carolina, was caught trying to go through security with a loaded gun at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
one of the dumbest people in congress which is really an astonishing achievement when you think about it. that said i wonder how much of this news cycle stuff is him just being dumb and how much is him being hung out to dry over the whole cocaine orgy thing. im sure the insider trading and lingerie pics would never have come out if he just kept his mouth shut, but this does seem like an organic fuck up on his part. definitely a classic cawthorn move

He's performatively dumb, which gets him tons of attention and raises his brand recognition, which is actually really smart when all you care about is Triggering The Libs.
Is he actually any dumber than a randomly selected Congressman? I don't know. Maybe. But his high profile idiocy will turn him into a fundraising juggernaut and jump him to the front of the line among Congressional leaders.
