We’ve used many colorful descriptors when it comes to former North Carolina Congressman Madison Cawthorn, mostly revolving around his constant lying, alleged sexual assault and firearm carelessness, and there’s also the assault on a tree, but the one thing we frequently forget is his frequent, periodic run-ins with traffic cops. Well, this one is literal. A North Carolina activist caught the ousted embarrassment after he ran into the back of a Florida state trooper; at the time, Cawthorn was behind the wheel of an automobile.
Given the fact that Cawthorn ran a car directly into a police officer at apparently high speed, and it’s well known that he usually carries a gun, and he likely didn’t immediately comply from armed (and famously impatient) Florida police officers to exit the car with his hands visible, Cawthorn’s lucky he walked away from this violent interchange alive.
