GOP leader Kevin McCarthy is fed up with Madison Cawthorn — says he has 'lost my trust' — following Cawthorn's orgy and cocaine comments.
The GOP leader said Wednesday — after meeting with the North Carolina Republican that morning — that Cawthorn has “lost my trust” due to his repeated actions that were “not becoming” for a congressman. And McCarthy warned the freshman he could face punishment if he doesn’t take certain steps to turn himself around, which could include losing his committee spots.
McCarthy said that, during their private talk, he pointed to “certain things” Cawthorn needed to start doing professionally and in “his own life as well.” And he isn’t discounting more meetings with the freshman lawmaker, saying there “very well could be” more conversations with Cawthorn as GOP leaders assess “what actions are taken” by him.
McCarthy had vowed to GOP members behind closed doors that he would have a talk with the freshman about his remarks,It was a notable dressing down from a Republican leader who at other times has seemed content to leave troublesome members alone. McCarthy was pressured to address another controversy within his ranks just weeks ago, when Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar attended an event led by a known white nationalist.
