A group of North Carolina voters has filed a legal challenge against U.S. Representative Madison Cawthorn’s 2022 candidacy for reelection.
Cawthorn is a Republican U.S. representative for North Carolina's 11th congressional district since 2021.
The challenge "alleges that Cawthorn is constitutionally disqualified from public office under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution based on reasonable suspicion that he helped facilitate the January 6, 2021 insurrection.
The legal challenge brought against Rep. Cawthorn cites Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment, known as the Disqualification Clause, which states, in part, “No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress. . . who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress . . . to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
The challenge filed against Congressman Cawthorn is part of a larger, national campaign, run by Free Speech for People and Our Revolution, urging Secretaries of State to "bar elected officials who engaged in the January 6, 2021 insurrection from appearing on any future ballot," according to Free Speech for People's Jan. 5, 2022 announcement.
Comment:
There was no insurrection.
It was a protest against the Corrupt Democrat Party's election rigging crimes.
However, if participating in a rebellion is a crime then there are a bunch of Democrat Politicians who called for nationwide political violence in 2020 that resulted in dozens of deaths and billions in damages who should not be allowed to ever run for office again.
Pelosi, Waters, Harris and many others Dem politician incited the 2020 riots across our country.
