Rep. Madison Cawthorn: Lingerie Party Pics Were From A ‘Goofy’ Game On A Cruise

The political news site had published the images earlier Friday, noting they were taken in what “appears to be a party setting.” The site juxtaposed the photos with comments the congressman has made about adhering to “traditional values.”

Politico said the pics were given to the outlet by a person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign and were confirmed by a second person who also was formerly close to Cawthorn.

However, the website admitted it was still unclear exactly when the photos were taken.

In a tweet posted after the article went live, Cawthorn said the pictures were just “goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise” that he says “were taken waaay before I ran for Congress.”

I guess the left thinks goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise (taken waaay before I ran for Congress) is going to somehow hurt me?

They’re running out of things to throw at me…

Share your most embarrassing vacay pics in the replies🤦‍♂️https://t.co/YicRk0Albu

The photos aroused attention on social media, but many people noted that the eyebrow-raising factor wasn’t that Cawthorn partied in lingerie but the hypocrisy suggested by the images.

Naturally, Twitter users had thoughts.

We’re going to need to be exceptionally clear: the story is the hypocrisy.

There’s nothing wrong with wearing lingerie, there’s something very wrong with promoting the persecution of trans and gender non-conforming Americans. https://t.co/IAMeSw2kyb

I really don’t care if Madison Cawthorn wears women’s lingerie. But I do care that he polices the lives of trans and non-binary folks. There’s some trans kid in FL today who just wants to wear a bow tie, but they can’t because people like Cawthorn are making their lives hell.

Madison Cawthorn, the comments from us libs merely point out your hypocrisy. If conservative white straight men were to loosen up a bit and stop being assholes to those different than you, you could learn to let down your hair a bit more and have laughs in life.
