Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) urged mothers to raise their sons to be monsters in an off-the-rails speech slammed on social media as dangerous and sociopathic.
The extremist first-term lawmaker said society wants to de-masculate young men because they dont want people who are going to stand up in footage shared online Monday by activist group Right Wing Watch. Its unclear where the video was filmed, but its now going viral.
All you moms here the ones who I said are the most vicious in our movement if you are raising a young man, please raise them to be a monster, added Cawthorn, whos pushed Donald Trumps election lies, warned bloodshed will be inevitable if our elections continue to be rigged, and once posed for pictures at Nazi dictator Adolf Hitlers vacation retreat.
Cawthorn has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by former classmates at a Northern Virginia Christian college. Four women told BuzzFeed News Cawthorn was aggressive, misogynistic, or predatory toward them.

Yes let's raise them to be bullying beer guzzling Bubbas who fart and scratch their privates in public. Real manly.

(17,390 posts)Rarely does the media pay attention to competence. Instead, say the craziest most racist things and you get news coverage. Even better if liberals are outraged, which allows racist, incompetent idiots to suck up all the oxygen in the room. Worse, the continuous coverage normalizes this conduct.
It is better to just genetically condemn racists. Yes, they will then self identify and say that you are condemning them, but let them self-own themselves and focus attention on competency and science.
