GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Receives A Brutal Reminder After Veterans Tweet

Far-right Rep. Madison Cawthorn ’s tweet evoking veterans backfired.

The North Carolina Republican appeared to criticize House approval of $40 billion in aid for Ukraine with this post on Wednesday:

In response, he received a series of searing reminders of his own votes against bills that assist former U.S. military service members.

“DON’T EVEN pretend you care about Veterans,” responded VoteVets , a progressive PAC promoting Democratic military veterans  for Congress. 

Other critics remembered Cawthorn’s misleading campaign ads that sought to spin his rejection by the U.S. Naval Academy.
