... Clearly, Cawthorn believes the professional liar and con man we've endured for the past four years. That's why he, like Trump, spoke at that D.C. rally, the one that inflamed the crowd and incited a riot at the Capitol ...

1. "This Crowd has Some Fight in It": NC Rep Spoke at Rally Before Attack at Capitol

~snip~

Here’s the .. transcript ...

“Wow, this crowd has some fight in it. I am so thankful that each and every single one of you who’ve come.

“I just rolled down from the Capitol building about two miles away down Pennsylvania Avenue. And I will tell you, the courage I see in this crowd is not represented on that hill.

“My friends, I will tell you right now that there is a new Republican Party rising. The founders of our great country saw to it that the people who consent to be governed should have a voice in that government.

“But my friends, the Democrats, with all the fraud they have done in this election, the Republicans hiding and not fighting, they are trying to silence your voice.

“Make no mistake about it, they do not want you to be heard. But my friends, when I look out into this crowd, I can confidently say, this crowd has the voice of lions. There is a new Republican Party on the rise that will represent this country, that will go and fight in Washington D.C.

“I’ll tell you, I see so many of my friends who are up in Congress with me who are about to go back to that Capitol Hill and at 12 o’clock today we will be contesting that election. But, my friends, bear in mind, there is a significant portion of our party that says we should just sit idly by and sit on our hands. They have no backbone.

“My friends, I encourage you, continue to make your voice heard, because, do we love Donald Trump? But my friends, we’re not just doing this for Donald Trump, we are doing this for the Constitution. Our Constitution was violated.

“You know, if I knew that a city clerk, in a city with my name, named Madison, can overturn a state legislature and alter the course of an election, well hell, I might have ran for a different office.

“My friends, I encourage you, go back to your states after today, hold your representatives accountable, make sure that they stood up for election integrity, and make your voices heard.

“My friends, I want you to chant with me so loud that the cowards on Washington D.C. that I serve with can hear you. While I leave, let’s get a chant so Donald Trump knows who supports him: U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A.

... “January 6th is fast approaching, the future of this Republic hinges on the actions of a solitary few,” Cawthorn tweeted late Monday. “Get ready, the fate of a nation rests on our shoulders, yours and mine. Let’s show Washington that our backbones are made of steel and titanium. It’s time to fight.”

On Tuesday, Cawthorn tweeted out an image that included the hashtag #StopTheSteal, a rallying cry for Trump supporters who have been told by leaders that Democratic officials and rigged voting machines are responsible for Biden’s 306 electoral votes and 7 million-ballot margin in the popular vote ...

Two days later, Cawthorn said his rhetoric had nothing to do with the violence in Washington ...
