The North Carolina representative faces a legal challenge, pushing for him to be barred from office because of his actions around the January 6 insurrection.
"This is going down a very dangerous path," Cawthorn told Real America's Voice."We have filed a counter punch lawsuit" that he said he was confident he could win and"destroy this narrative."
Last week, Cawthorn filed an attempt to stop the State Board of Elections from examining whether to remove him from the ballot. "I don't think they are just after me, obviously if they are able to keep me off the ballot because of this, Donald Trump will never be able to be president again because he won't be able to win North Carolina," Cawthorn said.
Ron Fein, the legal director for Free Speech for People, which is helping challenge Cawthorn's candidacy, told NPR there was"reliable reporting" the lawmaker and his team"were communicating with the planners ahead of Jan. 6 and helped to plan some of these events." Cawthorn, 26, who has previously described the legal challenge against him as"asinine" and"ridiculous," became the youngest member of Congress when he was elected in 2020 and he will be running again in the 13th District under the state's newly approved map.Former President Donald Trump reacts to the crowd at a rally in Arizona on Jan. 15, 2022; and Madison Cawthorn, Republican Rep. for North Carolina, speaks during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.
