Rep. Cawthorn says he's been invited to orgies by OLD lawmakers and watched lawmakers do cocaine during time in D.C.

[JustTheNews] Congressman's comment in response to question about how life in Washington compares to its portrayal in TV show "House of Cards"

Freshman Rep. Madison Cawthorn says that during his roughly 14-months in Washington, D.C., he has been invited to orgies and fellow lawmakers have done cocaine in front of him.

The North Carolina Republican made the comments on a recent episode of "Warrior Poet Society" podcast.

Cawthorn discusses the ways in which political life in Washington, D.C., compares to the TV show "House of Cards."

Just before the four-minute mark of the episode, Cawthorn says that during his time in government lawmakers to whom he has looked up throughout his life have invited him to orgies.

"I look at all these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life, I've always paid attention to politics. Then all of the sudden you get invited to: 'Well hey we’re going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes, you should come,'" the first-term congressman host John Lovell.

"I’m like: 'What did you just ask me to come to?" Cawthorn continued. "Then you realize they are asking you to come to an orgy."

Cawthorn then remarked that some of the people who are "leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country" have done illicit drugs in front of him. "You watch them do, you know, a key bump of cocaine right in front of you and it’s like 'Wow, this is wild," he said.

Cawthorn's marriage ended after just eight-months, with he and his ex-wife acknowledging the difficult transition to public life.

#12  Wealthy men working in DC, many far away from their family. Seems likely there would be a lot of hookers and mistresses. Seems unlikely they'd talk about, do it in front of someone they've only known a short while, or have orgies.

#8  I suppose that’s one way to really get to know the people one will be working with...

We knew Miss Lindsey was a kinkster

You knew. This is one of many, many thoughts that never occurred to me, even though the infamous Senator Ted Kennedy only died in 2009, and his waitress sandwich buddy Chris Dodd was on Joe Biden’s VP vetting committee, though he left the senate in 2011.

Isn't it about time to require Drug and Mental testing of all Elected and Appoint officials 2x a year and 1x during their sessions?

"Through my life" means... they've been in politics for 20 plus years... We knew Miss Lindsey was a kinkster, but McConnell?? Didn't know the ol' turtle had it in him
