Rep. Madison Cawthorn Charged With Driving With Revoked License, Faces Possible Jail Time

-

The State Highway Patrol charged Rep. (R-N.C.) on March 3 for driving while his license was revoked.

The misdemeanor charge includes the possibility of a 20 day jail sentence for the 26-year-old congressman, though most offenders are given a fine or probation.

The Charlotte Observer continues:

McClatchy obtained a copy of the citation, which said Cawthorn was very polite and cooperative during the exchange and that the trooper learned that there was “a pickup order” to take Cawthorn's license.

Knox told McClatchy that he can't comment on why Cawthorn's license has been revoked because that information is protected under a federal law, the Driver's Privacy Protection Act.

Besides the revoked license charge, Cawthorn has two pending speeding citations.

He also recently faced a legal challenge from left-wing activists trying to prevent him from seeking reelection.

That challenge, filed with the North Carolina State Board of Elections, claimed Cawthorn was partially liable for the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Last week, Cawthorn won a major legal victory when U.S. District Judge Richard Myers halted the legal challenge to his candidacy.

Cawthorn spoke to News 13 in Asheville about what prompted him to run for reelection in North Carolina's 11th District after voting maps were redrawn:

Cawthorn is up against 13 candidates, including seven Republicans, in District 11.

“I'll be a sophomore member of , so that is a big point to take,” Cawthorn said. “Once you're a sophomore member, you have more seniority, so you can get better placed on committees. You're capable to push more legislation through because more people owe you favors.”

North Carolina's primary elections are scheduled for May 17.

  1. I wish all the best for Madison in his future for our country. He’s a good man for sure.

  2. Why are Dems so frightened of honest competition? 20 day jail time/ Wonder how many others received 20 days for a revoked license?

    • He’s a republican that’s why he is facing any jail time at all for a driving citation. Every day the left shows us why we need to purge all of the left wing liberals from our government, at all levels, if we want to keep our constitutional republic.

  3. This was anfortunate encounter but small potatoes compared the screwup and total mess Joe Biden has created by being a coward when it comes to protecting us the Americas citizens from all the foregn & demmestic we are mostly on our own. I would like to know where in the hell is our Repubs a big percent are quite.

  4. Biden and Harris are the laughing of the world.We have a President that is screwing Americans at the Pump and elsewhere.He is blaming Putin for the massive increase in Gas Prices.The US only imported 1% of gas from Russia.Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline and other areas where we could be energy efficient.Bidens debacle in Afghanistan killed innocent military and civilians.He has abandoned Americans behind enemy lines in Afghanistan.He is sending money to Afghanistan which will be given to the Taliban.Biden and his staff are incompetent to say the least.He and his White House are a joke and should resign.He will not take blame for his screw up in Afghanistan and his Generals will never be punished.Biden responds by to this screw up by bombing and killing innocent civilians and children by mistakenly targeting the wrong people responsible for killing the innocent Military and civilians trying to evacuate the Airport in Afghanistan.Biden and his cronies will never be punished for the screw up in Afghanistan.And what about opening the borders to Illegal immigrants from Mexico.In conclusion Biden and Harris are both Wasted pieces of crap.They need to be removed from Office as they are both clueless as to what is happening around them.
