Former Republican North Carolina Congressman and boy angry at bark Madison Cawthorn was so immature and angry about losing the primary on his first re-election campaign, he rolled out of DC shortly after the May vote leaving constituents hoping for help from the Congressman abandoned without assistance.
According to a Charlotte Observer editorial, scores of cases were left unattended, and Cawthorn’s staff did not transfer the case files to his successor, Republican Chuck Edwards, to try to pick up the pieces. Edwards is so befuddled by Cawthorn’s actions he’s publicly asking constituents who had requested help from Cawthorn’s office to assume Edwards’ team has nothing on the case and to contact their representative’s office again.
“That’s what you get, however, when you elect unserious candidates who care more about lip service than leadership and legislating,” the editorial board says. “Cawthorn may have gotten what he wanted — attention — but North Carolinians got little in return.”
