A new hit against me just dropped.

Years ago, in this video, I was being crass with a friend, trying to be funny.

We were acting foolish, and joking.

That’s it.

I’m NOT backing down.

I told you there would be a drip drip campaign.

Blackmail won’t win. We will.

:sweat: yeah a drip drip campaign

Cawthorne was raised in an incredibly insular christian community in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. He didn’t spend any time in public or even private school, just a circuit of questionable tutoring groups based out of Baptist churches.

The time I spent in that circuit was some of the worst in my life and having to interact with him and his ilk was insane. The kid was used to getting exactly what he wanted, but also being kept in a super confined box of right wing baptist bullshit.

He was team captain for the football team (a homeschool team that picked up anyone from a school that didn’t have a team). His dad was the coach and Madison had a habit of being a bit too handsy even for the “locker room” behavior. This wasn’t limited to guys though, he groped and harassed almost every girl in that circuit. The man is a sexual predator through and through. He does this stuff not because of repression or anything, but because he wants to exhert power over the people around him. He’s a fascist bully and sexual harassment is his primary mode of communication.

given what I know about him just from what’s come out publicly, that 100% tracks. he’s an equal opportunity piece of shit. just does the worst possible thing in any given situation and treats everyone in the worst possible way.

Wtf

If this is true there will just be more and more leaks, sounds like he has done so much abhorrent stuff enabled by others like his parents.

Also if you actually knew him, you could give a good interview/warning, this guy sounds horrible

Yeah, I was on the football team with him. He was always super gross and way too handsy. Couldn’t stop making incredibly racist jokes at the expense of the one black kid we had on the team and was a pig with every girl he came into contact with.

He was always super into Greek shit and frequently did the “Nazi as a joke” routine that too clearly revealed that he was obsessed with fascism. This sort of stuff is normal for him. Like this is stuff I remember hearing about and seeing him doing all the way back in 8th grade.

Most normal American politician’s childhood.

These people truly are monsters.

Though I’m glad you turned out good despite all that. Well done comrade!
