It’s ironic McCarthy is the one giving the lecture about omerta, because he was the one who broke the “first rule of Republicans being paid by Putin club is don’t talk about Republicans being paid by Putin” rule back in 2016.

Interesting story / does not really shock me.

This is like the daily show in it’s prime.
The best/worst thing about this is that I actually had to double check that it was an Onion article and not an actual news source.

McCarthy impugns Cawthorn’s supplier, or something.

All that stuff Blankenship was bringing up about “Cocaine Mitch” was so long ago I don’t even remember the particulars, but maybe Mitch wants that nickname back.

Am I missing something? Or is the point of all of this that nobody is saying that coke fueled gay orgies don’t exist? Just that they aren’t as bad as he says?

(I like this post more in Comic Sans)
He started by saying the people who invited him are people he respects and looks up to - so he’s calling out senior republicans for being gay cokeheads.
Either he made shit up for attention because he is a moron and didn’t think things through, or he is telling some truths and is a moron who didn’t think things through
If he had accused the gay cokeheads to have been democrats it would have been no big deal

Pretty damning Talking Points article. I normally take GOP statements with a grain of salt, but it sounds like Cawthorn was really out of his depth at these parties.
McCarthy isn’t mad, he’s just disappointed.

Not necessarily gay, but certainly swingers.
And yeah, by his words it could only be prominent Republicans.
It’s not like Cawthorn respects Pelosi or any Democrat.
Conservatives basically think all liberals are secretly Marxists.

In all fairness, I suspect this is actually the most likely story here.
I mean, even if a bunch of old Republicans were having coke orgies, which is really as likely as not, does anyone think they’d invite Madison Cawthorne?
Everyone knows he’s an idiot… And an idiot in a wheelchair isn’t exactly the guy you are thinking will be a prime addition to an orgy, no offense to folks in wheelchairs.
Edit:
Wait I just read the thing about “Chinese research chemicals”… What is that even talking about? It’s that McCarthy saying that Cawthorne mistook some other drug for cocaine? But was still doing weird drugs?
Or that he was in some location where they didn’t have drugs at all, but he saw powder and thought it was drugs they were doing?
