Madison Cawthorn BLOCKED From Reelection?

Read more HERE:

"A group of North Carolina voters told state officials on Monday that they want Republican congressman Madison Cawthorn to be disqualified as a congressional candidate, citing his involvement in the 6 January attack on the Capitol.

Cawthorn questioned the outcome of the presidential election during the “Save America Rally” before the Capitol riot later that day that resulted in five deaths.
At the rally, Cawthorn made baseless claims that the election had been stolen from Donald Trump, and has been accused of firing up the crowd, many of whom went on to storm the Capitol."

That rule they want to use to block Cawthorn's re-election? That can be applied to Trump and the rest of the members of Congress who had a hand in the insurrection.

[frankiejaimes]

WHY CANT WE USE THIS 1868 amendment on every single congressmen-women that was involved in the insurrection in any shape or form!????

[anthonymiele]

They should absolutely be barred. It's about time, I've been calling for it for a year now.

[SamanthaSeltzer]

“Cannot run because he fails to comply with an amendment in the constitution ratified shortly after the civil war.” Well duh, Cawthorn and his ilk prefer not to pay attention to the laws that were put in place following the civil war 😬

[HGVIII]

This should have been invoked for several Republicans after Jan. 6th.

[xchaosbladerxop]

I'm all about freedom and everything, but how are you going to run for a country you tried to destroy.... Mind boggling

[jwgrigg]

Any Congressmen or Senators who were involved in the planning or execution of the January 6th insurrection should be expelled and not allowed to run for any public office again.

[Scratchync]

As an NC voter I applaud this!! He is an embarrassment to us!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We need to do the same for Gym Jordan here in Ohio. Admendment 14 also states:

Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

[pamelamccall]

Yes! They should be barred from running for office!

[spir]

I am so glad to hear that voters can actually decide that those involved in an insurrection cannot run for re-election. I think voters in all states should give this a go!

[DB_Cooper.]

All Lawmakers who supported J6 should be barred from office for life.

[tinagib]

yes disqualify anyone regardless of party...you go against your oath, you get kicked out...period!

[TheChiamora]

Not only should they do this, they should be disqualified if they don't answer a committee subpoena.

[kenwelckle]

He should have been arrested and charged for act of treason.

[sonjawashington]

Way to go North Carolina! Cawthorn should have been disqualified after lying on his application, about his accident, and allegations of sexually assaulting girls at the college he attended!

[victorjcano]

HELL, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH APPEARING IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION SHOULD ALSO BE BARRED FOM SERVING.

[janekosola]

Yes, they were traitors and should be jailed.

[LJohnson]

He’s a vet which makes his treason so much worse in my eyes. He took an oath to protect this country…TWICE!!! And then did all he could to overthrow it.

[berniesbend]

All 100 representatives involved need to be permanently barred from running!
