Both of North Carolina’s Republican senators blasted GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn this week — with one publicly endorsing his primary challenger — after the freshman lawmaker faced scrutiny over claims that his colleagues regularly snort cocaine and throw orgies.“Unfortunately, Madison Cawthorn has fallen well short of the most basic standards Western North Carolina expects from their representatives, and voters now have several well-qualified candidates to choose from who would be a significant improvement,” Sen. Thom Tillis said in a Thursday statement obtained by The Hill.“I believe [state Sen.] Chuck Edwards is the best choice,” Tillis added, saying that Edwards “puts his constituents first” and is a “hardworking conservative leader.”
