Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) admitted suggestions that his colleagues have done cocaine and invited him to orgies were “exaggerated” in a tense meeting with Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Axios reports.
Said McCarthy: “I just told him he’s lost my trust, he’s gonna have to earn it back, and I laid out everything I find is unbecoming. And, you can’t just say ‘You can’t do this again.’ I mean, he’s, he’s got a lot of members very upset.”
He added: “It’s just frustrating. There’s no evidence behind his statements. And when I sit down with him… I told him you can’t make statements like that, as a member of Congress, that affects everybody else and the country as a whole.”
