The extremist lawmaker has described Trump as being “like a father” to him. North Carolina voters are seeking to block his reelection bid over his ties to the U.S. Capitol riot.
Cawthorn was roundly slammed in response to his tweet:
I miss when our adversaries weren’t members of Congress. https://t.co/QI5VI297U8

I miss when America was a beacon of hope, freedom & democracy! That was prior to Jan 20, 2017...& has been in the process of being restored since Jan 20, 2021...Adversaries fear & respect us & allies once again look to the USA as Leader of the Free World! https://t.co/6GyDvOrjQ6

Don't act like that matters now. You populist types just flip the script when it's convenient while acting like you're "for the people". https://t.co/bW0eUupPEr
