congressional candidate, Madison
cawthorn
Madison Good Morning to you
good Morning, Steve. How are
you doing
Steve im doing okay
but im a little surprised
apparently at 455 in the
morning there were people out on
your lawn doing what
back on Friday October nine ninth,
I was waking up to go. Take
engagement, photos with my
fiancee, which I was very excited
about. Then I wake up to these
vandals little punks on my
driveway.
They were glueing some of my
signs to the driveway.
They were spray painting, pretty
not so subtle threats on to
them,
and then they were cutting the
head and neck out of my signs
all over the district.
Also, they went after our
billboards that were supporting
our agriculture, our farmers,
the people kept us afloat
through Covid, 19
Steve. I understand, apparently,
the Republican Party office for
Hinder Son County also
vandalized
right
indeed
its no surprise, because this is
no JFK Democrat that we are
running against in this country.
We are not voting for Joe Biden
or Donald Trump,
its too completely world views.
One world view on the left says
its okay to get violent to try
to get what you want
its pretty childish,
Steve your opponent, Democrat
Mo Davis. We were speaking
during the commercial break and
you were talking about how he
has had history of inflammatory
tweets. That apparently, are still
up.
Are you suggesting that some of
his tweetsz got people so
agitated? They came and did this
stuff to you?
Absolutely
you look at Maxine Waters last
year, back in June, say go to
their home,
get in their face in restaurants
or see my opponent last year to
say: go for the head and neck and
snap the spines of g dot, op
members,
people like myself,
you seeee his followers, have
actually acted out on that
instruction.
Going after the head and neck of
my sign, which I believe is
indicative of a threat toward
myself,
Steve Madison, we did get a
statement from your opponent Mo
Davis.
He said I have no reasonable to
believe that the actions
reported last week had anything
to do with my campaign or my
supporters.
Vandalizing signs does nothing
to aid my campaign.
I do not condone violence by
anyone left right or center,
and anyone who engages in such
conduct should be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law.
How does that sound to you?
It
sounds hypocritical and
trying to paint himself as a
moderate.
What Joe Biden is doing when his
policies are are as far left as
they can be.
My opponent has said this five
separate times all throughout
the past two years,
advocating to break the necks of
people in the Republican Party,
which I think is pathetic and
sad.
You know this is not a country
that I wants to raise children
in one where a political
difference means that you
condone violence.
I want us all to come together
as Americans and work towards a
brighter future.
The liberals seem to have gotten
so far left
gotten so divisive that there is
no way that they can have middle
ground with us anymore,
Steve yeah.
You said that that day you were
going to have engagement, photos
taken.
Congratulations on your
engagement Madison!
Thank you.
You know im a pretty lucky guy.
She said yes
Steve indeed
thats great.
By the way we did invite your
opponent Mo Davis on the
program.
He has not yet responded.
Madison. Thank you very much for
joining us today from
Hendersonville North Carolina
Steve its an honor. Thank
you very much
Steve great to have you as
well.
Thank you.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden has a
message for some voters ahead of
election day.
Why should people who feel
that theyre better off today
under the Trump Administration
vote for you?
Well, if they think that they
probably shouldnt
Steve thats, an unusual
message,
Rachel Campos Duffy, says: thats,
not the first time Biden has
treated voters that way she joins us live next.
