North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn's lawyer argued Tuesday in court that the lawmaker cannot be pushed from the November ballot for saying former President 's supporters should 'fight' in advance of the January 6 attack.
Lawyer James Bopp Jr., who is also representing Georgia Rep. in a similar lawsuit, told a panel of three judges in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, that the Constitution leaves the decision on whether someone is disqualified to serve in the U.S. Congress to members of that body, not the states.
Bopp said Cawthorn 'vigorous[ly] denies that he ever engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, the country he loves.'
