Cawthorn too inept to be in Congress

Cawthorn too inept to be in Congress

To the Editor:

Every time Rep. Madison Cawthorn speaks, I am reminded of the movie “Billy Madison” and the line: “ Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Following several actions and inactions by Congressman Cawthorn I can only come to a similar conclusion. He is too inept and does not possess the aptitude to retain his office. While Madison may try to argue that I am calling the people of NC-11 inept for electing him, I’d simply like to point out this is not math so the transitive property doesn’t apply. 

And Madison just so you understand, the transitive property is a math rule that states if a=b and b=c then a must also equal c. Now, I also understand I mentioned math and then used letters, it’s complicated, but you may have to take my word for it. Much like you will need to take the constituents of NC-11’s word for it when you are not reelected. 

Your neighbor and constituent,

Corey Bell
