There’s a “revenge porn” video of Rep. Madison Cawthorn flying around and this about sums it up:
Democrats are now sharing revenge porn of Madison Cawthorn in another attempt to take him down. There are no lows they will not sink to destroy anyone in their way.

It was released by an “opposition group that is actively campaigning against” the North Carolina Republican:
An opposition group that is actively campaigning against U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn has released a video clip appearing to show the North Carolina Republican naked in bed and, as Cawthorn described it, 'being crass with a friend' and 'acting foolish.' https://t.co/tN1FczRo26

Rep. Cawthorn responded to the video’s release, calling it “blackmail”:
“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.”
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.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who only has a few months left in Congress himself, wants Republicans in North Carolina to “vote this clown out”:
I just want to say to close out this evening: @CawthornforNC does not belong in Congress, and is an embarrassment not just to his district, but to the country. Vote this clown out, America we can do better than these disasterous leaders.

Cawthorn does face a serious primary challenge this year:
Reminder: Madison Cawthorn has a serious, experienced, conservative primary opponent who actually knows how to be a legislator. https://t.co/4lg5Vt6Z9q

And here’s Twitchy regular Jesse Kelly warning conservatives not to get distracted by it:
Repeat after me:
“We’re winning. We’re rarely winning. The communists are on their heels. I will not focus Madison Cawthorn. I will not focus on Madison Cawthorn. I will not focus on Madison Cathorn.
I will focus on what the communist doesn’t want me to focus on.”

Good advice.
