Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a freshman Republican who's been beset by scandal since taking office last year, has been ousted in a heated primary in North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, according to a race call from The Associated Press.
Cawthorn lost to state Sen. Chuck Edwards, who had received the backing of some Republicans who had tired of Cawthorn's controversies.
As of the AP race call, Edwards had received more than 33% of the vote, to Cawthorn's nearly 32% of the vote. In North Carolina, a winner just needs to cross a 30% threshold in order to avoid a July runoff election.
The result is a stunning defeat for Cawthorn, who is a fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump — and who had Trump's endorsement.

The funniest part is that it was other Republicans who took him out. Lol. He should have never talked about their cocaine fueled orgies.

SSgt Ray Stone - No they drew the line at him talking about their cocaine fueled orgies. They don't care about homosexuality. I can guarantee there are some closeted homosexuals in the Republican party.
They got mad he mentioned they invited him to their orgies.
