Rep. Madison Cawthorn stated on a podcast last week that he was invited to an “orgy” in Washington and has witnessed leaders do cocaine. These remarks by the North Carolina representative continue to echo inside the Beltway and have extended the fury of his fellow Republicans.

Daily Mail columnist and former “The View” co-host Meghan McCain weighed in on the issue regarding the party that her father was in and stated that Cawthorn must name these leaders publicly.

“So, Madison Cawthorne only hangs out with hardcore MAGA people in DC,” McCain tweeted.

“The American public deserves to know which members of congress are doing cocaine and having orgies because they are unfit for office.

So, Madison Cawthorne only hangs out with hard core MAGA people in DC…

The American public deserves to know which members of congress are doing cocaine and having orgies because they are unfit for office.

Should we all just start guessing the people he’s talking about? https://t.co/TsmBxJ4g6t

Should we all just start guessing the people he’s talking about?”

Cawthorn generated this latest controversy by saying to the “Warrior Poet Society” podcast last week his experience in Washington reflects that of Netflix’s “House of Cards.”

“The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington, I mean, being kind of a young guy in Washington, the average age is probably 60 or 70,” Cawthorn said.

“I look at a lot of these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life—I’ve always paid attention to politics—then all of a sudden you get invited to, ‘Oh hey, we’re going to have a sexual get together at one of our homes, you should come.’”

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) “plans to talk” with Cawthorn regarding the remarks, as many House GOP members expressed their frustration.

I want to know who the members are the are upset. They must be the ones guilty of this and do not want to be caught. McCarthy should have ignored these members and said I am not cleaning up your mess. If you did not want this out there you should not be doing blow at an orgy.

While much of the focus of political advertising is focused on the 2024 presidential election, there are important Congressional races, too. Metros like Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and Baltimore are the beneficiaries of those races.

According to information from AdImpact, $70.8 million has been spent in the political sector in the past two weeks. $3.7 million was spent in Indianapolis, while the Philadelphia market garnered $3.4 million and Baltimore saw $3.2 million in spending.

President Joe Biden’s campaign has been the biggest spender, dropping $7.2 million, according to Inside Radio. $1.7 million was spent in digital ads, while a PAC supporting Biden spent another $649,000.

Projections on the expected spending have fluctuated in recent months as ad spending has slowed after lackluster primary season saw former President Donald Trump effectively lock up the Republican nomination much earlier in the process than had been previously seen.

AdImpact forecasts $10.2 billion in the election cycle, which would be a new record.
