Liberals erupt after Rep. Cawthorn cleans gun during veterans affairs hearing
Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina drew the ire of liberals on social media after cleaning his gun during a veterans affairs hearing this week. The hearing was held remotely on Zoom.

"I am now ‘wanting to punch a guy in a wheelchair’ years old," comedian Christopher Titus posted on Twitter after reports began circulating that the 26-year-old North Carolina Republican was seen cleaning his gun in the hearing during a roundtable discussion on burn pit exposure.

WTF is 'burn pit exposure' and how does that warrant a meeting of government officials?

Too bad he didn't have a bottle of "Liberal Tears" gun cleaner.

Should tell the liberals to find a box of grid squares and report back. Or better yet, go get him a bottle of muzzle blast to help clean the weapon. Should keep them busy for awhile.

I do find it somewhat disrespectful.

He’s paid to be a representative of his constituents.

It’s not too hard to pay attention while you work.

I honestly think this was a stunt on his part to say FU to folks he doesn’t care for. Not good while you are on the people’s dime.

And yes, they should have done better re having troops downwind from garbage burning.

Ah. Been a long time since I heard about those occurring in the ME. Didn't occur to me that would be a current topic of conversation but it makes sense now.
