lincoln dolly todd madison, okay. and so she tried to emulate dolly and so i meant it when i said dolly set the tone for first ladies for you know two centuries, but she was kind of tone deaf, right? like she threw parties in a war which dolly had done but that wars 1812 wars all happening out there, but the battlefield was like a mile away in virginia. i was just it was bad news, wasn't it? far be it for me to be a mary todd lincoln apologist, but it's worth noting before diana jumps into this because i can. see no first lady. ever gets it right. yeah some big portion of america says you're doing it completely wrong and it should be this way and the other half of america says you're just perfect darling. keep going. no. no first lady ever gets it, right and so mary todd lincoln had her supporters. she's certainly had a lot of detractors and even among his stories today who study here. there are first lady. i guess i would say first lady scholars of different backgrounds who would find mary todd lincoln a figure of tr

so dolly madison's authentic personality became a tool of policy for james madison.she also used fashion and my form of the media, because the media at the time did not do things that you are talking about, where observers, so when i was researching dolley madison, i was interested in her outfits and people's reaction to her. everybody wrote about her. if you went to one of these parties, you saw on the street, you wrote about it and i enjoyed reading all of these descriptions of the outfits and the way she was with people. i realized that these are not just celebrity mentions, these are actually a form of political analysis, because they were looking at her and evaluating her as whether she was of the right ruling class. is this a proper person? one of the things that dolley did, she wrote that line that i sort of mentioned between republican virtue exemplified by james madison who was such a nonentity that he got lost in his own parties, and queen dolley who swanned around in fantastical outfits. so dolly madison was not the well dressed woman a fashion, she also d

madison cawthorn loses to check edwards. 33.4% for check edwards to madison cawthorn's 31.9%.in north carolina, you win with 30% plus one. so that is enough for check edwards to carry the seat -- ch uck edwards to carry the seat. that is getting a lot of attention. a lot of scandals in recent weeks being reported in that race. madison cawthorn saying he is going to overcome it all and when. -- win. i want to get the process of campaign 20 primaries after the key races. mitchell in new jersey, line four democrats, what did you think? caller: a couple of thoughts. one, it is disturbing to see such a lack of issues and policies and positions by candidates on both sides. i understand that primary races are not going to have the substance of a general, but it is alarming. what i am seeing on the republican side is who can out trump. in order to get trumpet support, the lit must test seems to be that you have to believe in what is an objective life that the election was stolen. that to me is a dangerous position, because you have an entire portion of the country buying into this. it

so madison had the foresight to realize that stability was paramount. the idea of rewriting the constitution is something similar to changing the rules of the game in the middle of the game. and there is already two ways of amending the constitution built into article five. so i wonder if you could speak to that. this function is in place, but you are proposing something radically different. >> yes. you went out a little bit there and hopefully i will get the gist of your statement. one of the things that super interesting about this experiment is, you are absolutely right. the individual statement is absolutely right. changing the rules of the game, constitutions our rules. and changing the rules halfway through the game, i would think that jefferson would say to you, that assumes that the rules of the game -- that the game hasn't ended when a generation changes over. so if we live in a jeffersonian world, we live in a world in which there are periodic games. and it is hard to imagine in the united states, but if you think about outside the u.s., the a

madison, that's a loss. it's a mixed bag. he did some good. >> you work that magic board like nobody else can. thank you. we'll pick up where chris left off in our conversation now with doug high. he's the former communications director at the republican national committee and tia mitchell. thank you both for joining us. we're seeing mixed results for trump endorsed candidates. what does that tell you? >> i think we over rate and over analyze what donald trump endorses. he's going to support some candidates who win, some who lose. what matters is the candidates and the campaigns that they run. madison was a terrible candidate and terrible congressman. he lost. donald trump can help people but he gets people surrounded around his base. it's why you see 32, 31% if for a madison cawthorne and with dr. oz. as well. you have to do a will the more and you can't depend on donald trump. what should democrats take away from fetterman's big win? >> i think democrats and even republicans will take away that a message that voters read as

i'm very interested in constitutions and as most of you know madison in 1787. father of the constitution is writing the constitution. he has great admiration for jefferson. so when he's done with the project in september of 1787, he ships off a copy of the constitution to to jefferson who's in paris and asked jefferson what he thinks about the constitution and they get into this roughly two-year correspondence back and forth about the virtues and vices of the draft constitution and jefferson writes back to madison and says, oh, you know, i like certain things about the constitution but one thing i do not like about the constitution is that there's no sunset claws, right? so and what he meant by that is there's no mechanism for the constitution to be rewritten at various times and he writes this famous line. he writes famous statement that the earth belongs and use a front to the living that dad have neither powers nor rights over it and jefferson writes this essentially to say that a constitution created by one generation. that is authoritative over a future ge

, by james madison, senior, and molly conway madison. but we have always, from the beginning, defined the term very broadly. people who families were enslaved in orange county, virginia, in central virginia, in virginia, in the u.s. south, or just people who identify with our work and want to be a part of it. so we've had a -- always had a very broad, and i would say, welcoming, open definition of who is a descendant. >> yeah, someone? >> i would stay we are still forming a definition but i think we would want to keep it as bright as possible. and i've actually had several people reach out to be that say, you know, i think i've descended from this president. i think this president. and they don't have the dna evidence yet. but it's really fascinating to see. and so, i like to keep that door really open for everyone to reach out. i don't like to defining it to specifically. and i also think the white house is unique in that it is a place where people live for 4 to 8 years or less. so it's not your home where -- it's not like montpelier or

madison cawthorn in the 11th district. we'll just checking out there, because we got a lot of votes for the red right. now cawthorn you can see has closed now the difference here is close to about 2000 votes. the good news for madison cawthorn is that he's gotten closer in this. the bad news is, if you are to zoom and geographically to see exactly how that has happened. basically what has happened is along the tennessee border, the rural county along the tennessee border, madison cawthorn really did a number on the same day vote. and that brought it closer to edwards. remember this is chuck edwards, he is a state senator. check out with state senate district is down here. it's henderson county, it's part of bud county. and edwards is running better. we haven't counted up as much as the same day vote, here running better with the same day votes here. so the risk for cawthorn's, he may just have put up his best same day numbers along the tennessee border, edwards may be positioned to stabilize things or bounce back a little

madison did the right theng by conceding.ay this to every republican. >> the force is not with madison cawthorn. joining me now cnn political commentator and host of pbs "firing line" margaret hoover and senior political analyst john afvalon. let's button up this madison cawthorn thing. here is the thing that stood out to me, his loss wraps up a campaign filled with scandals. that's what really tanked his campaign ultimately. the republican party is out there punishing madison cawthorn but not trump? what's the deal? >> look, i actually think the republican party rewarded the solid conservative who wasn't a seditionist who was a strong businessman, conservative, represented that district and punished madison cawthorn. if there's a new force it's what you saw rally around senator tillis there. against madison cawthorn, somebody who had no business being in the house of representatives. >> i think margaret makes a great point about tillis finally standing up to the extreme wing of his party when so many other senators and gover

there was to madison cawthorn. what was the difference? madison cawthorn attacked his own party.cannot do that. >> yeah. so you're saying that while cawthorn had all these other issues, we see here him losing this primary tonight, including what he alluded there, embarrassments from his past, these very grandiose and odd behavior patterns as well as being a right wing extremist, you're saying it came down to loyalty as none other than kendrick lamar might say, who are you loyal to when your lights get dark, is your loyalty coming from the heart? your view is this is much more about republicans demanding partisan loyalty than the other substantive issues with this incumbent candidate? >> absolutely. and in terms of madison cawthorn's heart, as far as house republicans are concerned, senate republicans are concerned, your heart needs to belong to kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell. the fact that his heart belonged to donald trump was simply not enough. it was interesting that donald trump did try and say, hey, this kid needs a second chance. help him out, et cetera. and had no impa

where to go here with madison cawthorn, whether he can survive his republican primary, one time rising star to the right, his first term blamed by multiple controversial scandals and other rivals hoping to put an early end to cawthorn's congressional career. meantime, on the other side of the country, oregon, president biden made his first endorsement of the midterm campaign backing the incumbent congressman, curt schrader, facing a strong challenge from the progressive side of the party, though, and we're standing by for first results and a lot of the exciting races there, so many tonight and all the twists and turns to get us to this moment in the past few days nobody could have predicted. >> very exciting, erin, let check in on the race of the night, jeff zal aney is at oz's headquarters in the philly suburbs, what are you hearing from the campaign about his prospects this evening? >> reporter: jake with slightly less in an an hour to go here in pennsylvania, cautious optimism twine friends and supporters of oz, he is tonight in the key suburbs, bucks county, the whole rationale for

madison cawthorn, we hardly knew you.lina republican was elected to congress in 2020, he had a promising future to some republicans. he was the youngest member elected since 1965. and i guess he had the full support of donald trump. what could possibly go wrong? well, apparently everything. cawthorn lost his reelection bid this week, losing his primary bid to state senator chuck edwards. cawthorn was mired in scandal for months. but strangely enough, it wasn't cawthorn visiting adolf hitler's vacation home and calling it a bucket list trip, that shook the gop support of him. nor was it his history of racism, lack of regret after speaking at the rally before the january 6th riot, voting to overturn the election, calling volodymyr zelenskyy a thug, or even spreading the big lie that push republicans to spurn cawthorn. it wasn't any of those. believe it or not, it was only after cawthorn claim that his colleagues engaged in coca fueled orgies that the gop each finally said, yeah that's enough for us. let's bring back our pan

it was just madison cawthorn >> incumbent madison cawthorn has lost the republican nomination for u.sstrict 11 seat in north carolina. >> state senator chuck edwards beat him with 33% of the vote. cawthorn has officially conceded his seat >> seth: oh, madison, you may be gone, but soon you'll be forgotten at least now he'll have more time for his other job, starring as the, i don't know, bad boy villain in a cw drama. [ laughter ] he looks like he should be next to a locker threatening to tell pacey about dawson's relationship with joey "how can you do this, madison? i thought we were friends. "you know what they say, dawson, every rose has its cawthorn. [ light laughter ] in this show, he plays himself [ light laughter ] so cawthorn lost the gop primary in his district last night after a string of scandals, including accusations of insider trading, multiple traffic stops, and a series of controversial remarks like when he called ukraine's president a thug in fact, it was republicans who waged a relentless campaign to take cawthorn down one gop operative told "the daily beast," "it's

of people that were enslaved by james and dolly madison by james madison senior and nellie conway madison, but we have we have always from the beginning. defined the term very broadly really people whose families were enslaved in orange county, virginia in central, virginia in virginia in the us south or just people who identify with our work and want to be a part of it. we've had a very always had a very broad and i would say, you know welcoming open definition of who's at ascendant. similar. yeah, i would say we're our definition, but i think keep it as broad as possible, and i actually had several people reach out to me that say, you know, i think i'm descended from this president. i think this president and they don't have the dna evidence yet, but it's really fascinating to see and so i like to keep that door really open for everyone to reach out. i don't like defining it to specifically and i also think the white house is unique in that it is a place where people live for four to eight years or less. so it's not a home where it's not like a montpelier or highland where these are gen

let's give madison a second chance.about when he brought ah gun to the airport, one time it was loaded. sexual allegations and getting pulled over with a revoked license, also twice. do voters think those were all foolish mistakes? we found out. >> reporter: as republicans wage an owl-out war on embattled trump-endorsed madison cawthorn. they cast the scandal-played resident as fame hungry, even dangerous. >> a lot of thijz ngs he's saidd done recently is propaganda and goes back to a prior issue. >> instead of talking about what lingerie or congressman might like to wear in his spare time, we need to be talking about inflation and real issues. >> republicans have rallied around the other candidates like state senator chuck edwards, who has the backing of most powerful players, including senator tom t tillis. and what the superpack has dropped on attack ads. >> i've never seen such an attack by any other politicians except donald trump. trump endorsed cawthorn a year ago but stayed away from the race. he recently posted

madison cawthorn made a lot of rookie mistakes. he was acting like a very young man, being very young and foolish in a lot of ways and to a certain extent, the story doesn't go much further than that, but outside money is there because they know that we're going to be talking about it. and they want to try to create some sense that there's momentum gathering in one direction or another. the problem with that analysis, of course, erica, is that just as david suggested, this is the party of trump, period. the national party has said formally and officially that they have no policy positions other than what donald trump tells them will be their positions. and so if you want to get somewhere in politics and running on the republican line, you have to try and align yourself with donald trump because there are no other positions to cling to that have any real stability. >> yeah, it is interesting sometimes. you flood a lot of money, doesn't make a difference. susan collins in the last senate cycle. still won or beto o'rourke. the donald

look, trump is still with madison cawthorn. the rest of the republican establishment has run as fast as they can from madison cawthorn and tried to support most of them. chuck edwards now at 38%, cawthorn at 27%. some states you'd have runoffs. in this state if the leading candidate is above 30% they get the nomination. so with about 37% of the vote in, chuck edwards right now leading. if that margin held up, he would be the republican nominee in the 11th congressional district. this is a very red area. he would be the next congressman from north carolina most likely. but again we'll watch as the votes come in. if you're congressman cawthorn tonight, you are thinking two years of constant controversy, ranging from supporting the big lie, from saying it was antifa in the capitol on january 6th to accusing the leadership of having orgies and using cocaine, this is all adding up on madison cawthorn. let's come back up to pennsylvania and switch over to the senate republican race. we started with just votes in the west. we have som

there was to madison cawthorn, what was a difference?ison cawthorn attacked his own party, you simply can't do that. >> yes, so you're saying that well cawthorn had all these other issues, we see here he's losing this primary tonight. when he alluded to, embarrassments from his past, these very grandiose and odd behavior patterns, as well as being a right-wing extremist. you think he came down to loyalty, as none other than kendrick lamar might say. who are you loyal to when the lights get dark? is your loyalty coming from the heart? your view here is this is much more about republicans demanding partisan loyalty than the actual substantive issues with this incumbent candidate? >> absolutely in terms of madison cawthorn's heart as far as house republicans are concerned senate republicans are concerned your heart used and belong to kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell it, was simply not enough. it's interesting that trump said give him a second chance and helphim he wanted them which is something you're not allowed to do even if you have tr

so reality for madison's, he's been off a little bit more than he can to. the party came after him, and what the country should take away from that is, all the other stuff that they count as this, they don't have to. they can step up and say, no to the trump lie. they can say no to the marjorie taylor greene, the medications of the party. but they won't. so, they pick their poison and it was cawthorn. >> well it was, governor randall, let's talk about pennsylvania. doug mastriano is now one of two people who can get the job you once held. this is a man who was at the capitol on january 6th. he continues to be an election denier. pushing the big lie. how high are the stakes for the commonwealth of pennsylvania? the birth of the democracy? >> it's enormous. if mastriano were to become governor, republicans will probably hold both the thousands if they control the legislator. that would mean that pennsylvania will criminalize abortion. that would be stunning. the only thing that's going to stop pennsylvania from criminalizing abortion is no exception, -- i'm v

there was to madison cawthorn, what was a difference?n't do that. >> yes, so you're saying that well cawthorn had all these other issues, we see here he's losing this primary tonight. when he alluded to, embarrassments from his past, these very grandiose and odd behavior patterns, as well as being a right-wing extremist. you think he came down to loyalty, as none other than kendrick lamar might say. who are you loyal to when the lights get dark? is your loyalty coming from the heart? your view here is this is much more about republicans demanding partisan loyalty than the other substantive issues with this incumbent candidate? >> absolutely in terms of madison cawthorn's heart as far as house republicans are concerned senate republicans are concerned your heart used and belong to kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell it, was simply not enough. it's interesting that you said you made a second chance and help me -- he wanted them which is something you're not allowed to do even if you have trump's back. >> that's right, you're trying to disti

in this case madison cawthorn was going down. the republican party used him as an example of what happens. he accused members of the party of having orgies and snorting cocaine. spoke out publicly against zelenskyy. it is a lesson of what happens when you go up against your party. they called it a drip campaign and we saw terrible self destructive behavior and he has imploded his political career and life path that happened in a public way. this is someone is that shouldn't. >> just extraordinary. many thanks to you both for being our panel. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> razor thin margin in a key race that could shape the u.s. senate. we will breakdown the pennsylvania race for senate nominee as our primary coverage continues. it's time for our memorial day sale on the sleep number 360 smart bed. why choose proven quality sleep from sleep number? because every green thumb, 5k, and all-day dance party starts the night before. the 360 smart bed senses your movement and automatically adjusts to help keep you both comfortable a

controversial first term congressman madison cawthorn, is officially one term. or coming into our live coverage this hour, we were just discussing at the end of the last hour, and how it was loyalty and the test of loyalty that he failed to house lawyer leaders, they may have cost him his seat. then there is north carolina, and we know the nominees in that race. trump endorsed republican congressman ted budd, against a former judge terry beasley, in idaho we saw a trump endorsement failed today, government -- allegedly his right, there you see is not even close. and we begin this hour, as we did the last, and we do so many moments of election night, with kornacki at the big board. steve? >> it is the closest thing we've been following all night, this republican primary for the senate in pennsylvania. this is not gonna sound like a lot, but it's significant. the website in montgomery county, and we've been telling you how these websites sometimes -- no one has not yet. these websites come up with new numbers out, before they actually get into our system, it is ag

. >> it was the absolute worst >> seth: it was at madison square garden. >> madison square garden theicians. >> like a seven-hour concert, i think. and we went on like hour five and a half >> seth: yeah. >> six >> seth: yep >> you recounted it wrong. we went on after kanye west -- >> seth: okay. >> who was in a kilt and screaming. >> seth: yeah. >> and then threw his mic into the audience and then when -- and then chris rock went, "are you going out there? >> seth: yeah. >> and i was like, "yeah." he's like, "in that costume? >> seth: now, we should know that bobby and i, what we did at the hurricane -- a concert for hurricane sandy, which was all music -- >> yep >> seth: arcade fire, the who, kanye. >> we went in between kanye west and billy joel in new jersey >> seth: yeah. so imagine you've just seen... you've just seen kanye west. you see them roll out billy joel's piano before that -- >> but before that - >> seth: i walk out as me, and he walks out as drunk uncle. >> yeah, in costume, which, by the way, they made me wear to madison square garden. i said, "can i get dressed when i

and you got to admit, man, these people are coming for madison cawthorn.he way they are coming for madison cawthorn, i'm starting to think maybe those cocaine orgies were real, you know? it is too much. so for the fifth year time madison cawthorn was forced to release a statement explaining why this isn't as bad as it seems. >> you are witnessing one of the first examples of a politician who grew up with a cell phone in their hands with the ability to take photos videos and have others use that content to hurt you, most of my colleagues in congress right now would not be serving in washington if they grew up within a single mile of a cell phone growing up. >> trevor: before we address the statemented can anyone explain why the american flag is in that video? that flag wasn't humping anybody. why are you dragging the flag into this bullshit, huh? you can see the flag him him like uh-huh, i wasn't there. (applause) now as for the points the young congressman was making, as much as i do not like him, i have to agree. since the beginning of time people have ha

enter north carolina republican madison cawthorn. from randi kaye. >> i'm a fighter, and i'll be a strong voice for faith, family, and freedom. >> reporter: big promises from madison cawthorn. but that was 2020 when the congressman from north carolina was running for office. >> focused on caring about the people i want to represent. >> reporter: but at some point after his stunning political victory, everything changed, and cawthorn's political future unravelled. his message turned from caring to chaos. this was on january 6th last year just before rioters stormed the capitol. >> my friends, i want you to chant with me so loud that the cowards in washington, d.c. i serve with can hear you. >> reporter: there was also this behavior of cawthorn, this video of him punching a tree with millions of people just trying to figure out why. after russia attacked ukraine, cawthorn said this about volodymyr zelenskyy. >> remember that zelenskyy is a punk. >> reporter: the blowback from his fellow republicans is fierce. >> madison is wrong. >> re

more from cnn's dianne gallagher. >> hi, everyone, madison cawthorn here. >> reporter: congressman madisonly after posting this seven-minute video wednesday night. >> one of the first examples of a politician who grew up with a cell phone in their hand with the ability to take photos, videos, and have others use that content as a way to hurt you. >> reporter: another video, one cnn is choosing not to show was posted online by an opposition group appearing to show the freshman congressman naked in bed with another person. cawthorn confirming it was him in the video called it blackmail tweeting years ago in this video i was being crass with a friend trying to be funny. we were acting foolish and joking adding i'm not backing down. i told you there would be a drip drip campaign. >> what do you think of madison cawthorn's video that came out last night? >> absurd to embarrassing. >> reporter: major north carolina republicans like u.s. senator thom tillis have spent the past few months distancing themselves from cawthorn, even actively supporting his challengers in a heated and crowded primary

let's give madison a second chance.o plan to do just that. >> i think he's a good kid. political, everybody is trying to do what they can to make themselves look good and make the opponent look bad. >> a lot of it is made up, fabricated stuff. >> but for others between the unflattering headlines, and fights over whether he shut down district offices, it's just too much drama. >> he's real narcicisstic and i'm not into that. >> north carolina's 11th district is massive and rural. making voters both physically and digitally hard to reach. >> but one cawthorn misstep that did seem to reach the entire district, his move late last year when new maps were drawn, to leave it behind. >> i will be running for congress in the 13th congressional district. this move is not an abandonment. >> but a lot of people took it that way. so when madison cawthorn decided to leave the congressional district and run in charlotte, he asked me to step in and run as the america first candidate. >> and when the court redrew the maps, cawthorn came

and me other problems to be madison me was out there. yeah. oh yeah. there are no maintenance guy who know there are a lady that about that i'm looking at a visa or did you see a bad i see that will not be home with particularly for a day of her life. and that is any got it need almost her id. hi dante. you started. okay. ms. angleton wanting to hear more about dental hygiene. a facility. me but the the is it last time a with a name? ah, a ah. the lowest class of people you will find always on the road so everyone sees them the higher last people go to the idea. so most of the people don't normally and edgar lost his trust. so they didn't have faith in him. they don't trust him. so yeah, i guess i'm with people of my own going their doctors, i will call frontier because executives in right, because all of us stayed together and all of us help each other and make each other avila that look, business happened to me. it's not happening deal ah, madison is supposed to tell people, but you know, the medicine is not helping people. it's killin

the entirely predictable unraveling of madison cawthorn.e spoke to more than 70 people that know the congressman. how do they explain what is going on with him? >> lost in the lantics that we'e heard is the fact he's a human being. he's a 26-year-old. based on my reporting, largely considered to be an immature 26-year-old and a 26-year-old eight years ago had a devastating life altering traumatic accident that left him paraplegic and from what my reporting indicates, he's still dealing with on going trama. it's understandable. he still struggles physically from a pain standpoint and the pain goes well beyond even just the physical pain. so my effort here was to try to answer why we are seeing some of these behaviors of what has been a pattern of behavior building throughout his time as a member of congress dating back to january of 2021 but certainly escalating and accelerating and intensifying here in the last few months or even the last couple weeks as we head closer toward the primary on tuesday. >> is there a point where he crossed the

controversial first term congressman madison cawthorn, is officially one term. or coming into our live coverage this hour, we were just discussing at the end of the last hour, and how it was loyalty and the test of loyalty that he failed to house lawyer leaders, they may have cost him his seat. then there is north carolina, and we know the nominees in that race. trump endorsed republican congressman ted budd, against a former judge terry beasley, in idaho we saw a trump endorsement failed today, government -- allegedly his right, there you see is not even close. and we begin this hour, as we did the last, and we do so many moments of election night, with kornacki at the big board. steve? >> it is the closest thing we've been following all night, this republican primary for the senate in pennsylvania. this is not gonna sound like a lot, but it's significant. the website in montgomery county, and we've been telling you how these websites sometimes -- no one has not yet. these websites come up with new numbers out, before they actually get into our system, it is ag

lauren boebert. >> you know got madison cawthorn out? madison cawthorn.ssible scandal on earth. the new video. >> he went to hitler's bungalow. everybody was like, hey. he is republican. >> it was like he was trying to touch every possible button to see what would happen. but when he hit the gun violation at the airport, the driving without a license and the insider trading, it all came out in one day. i was like, wow, it doesn't get any better than that. boebert has a way of doing this sort of been. she has these gunpoint photos that she will put out of herself and her family. she's not quite a madison cawthorn, yet at least. but i don't think anyone agrees -- they bring themself down. >> all i want to see if lauren knows anything about any cocaine already, she would not say nothing. that will usually that's how you get bumped out. they'll talk about the cocaine orgies. dana and don, don and dane are sticking around. because up, next is the top -- of the week. don't miss it. we are her teachers, her therapists, chefs... oh, that's why we're tired. it's b

maxlength=32> republican congressman madison hawthorne is having a very bad week. north carolina freshman was cited for bringing a loaded gun into a airport. it is the second time that he has actually done that since he took office just last year. the next day, he was called out by a senior member of his own political party. someone from his own state, senator tom tillis, called for a bipartisan investigation of hawthorne for possible insider trading, calling the allegations, a, quote, serious betrayal of hawthorne's oath into office. not surprisingly, house gop leadership was completely silent. i cannot help but wonder what the reaction would be if madison hawthorne was a democrat. our panel is back. professor, do you see a double standard here? it is a trick question. [laughs] you have republicans handled these controversies versus how they would act if this were a democrat. >> absolutely, i mean, that is so easy, thank you. i hope i did not whiff on that answer. no, we knew this was coming. we knew this was coming. the moment he said what he said, revealed somet

i cannot help but wonder what the reaction would be if madison hawthorne was a democrat.r, do you see a double standard here? it is a trick question. [laughs] you have republicans handled these controversies versus how they would act if this were a democrat. >> absolutely, i mean, that is so easy, thank you. i hope i did not whiff on that answer. no, we knew this was coming. we knew this was coming. the moment he said what he said, revealed something that was going on behind closed doors among his republican colleagues. we knew the opposition will emerge, whether we knew about him will be flooding into the public domain, this is just beginning. more is coming. yeah, the moral outrage from some of these folks, take it with a gun assault. these folks did not really care about ethics. they're just coming back after him after what he did in said. >> it is interesting that you mentioned that there is a lot more that may come out because medicine hawthorne, rick, he is not acting like he is afraid that. he's actually out with a new campaign ad in which he is targeting republica

let's get madison a second chance. this follows a long list of controversies cawthorn has accumulated among other things being cited twice for trying to bring a loaded handgun through airport security. cawthorn says it's rinos tripping over themselves to defeat me. but many north carolinians are so upset that many are throwing their support behind others to unseat him. >> i believe he may have gotten lost in the political stardom and forgot what his role here is back at home. >> meantime, trump endorsed candidate ted bud trying to solidify his lead in the senate primary knocking on doors to ask north carolinians for their vote. the biggest challenge is for mark walker and pat mccorey has criticized him for skipping debates. despite that, the trump endorsement could be all that matters come election day. >> when you volunteer something like the president's endorsement or a call of support, that could potentially be differentiator to a lot of republicans. >> you know, martha, whether or not the trump factor, particularly

madison cawthorn taken down by his party not for bringing guns on planes or calling ukraine evil or making hitler's home part of his vacation bucket list or alleged misconduct, no, no, but rather for snitching on the alleged republican cocaine orgies. we begin in pennsylvania with a reminder of how elections work. now, you see there are many different ways to vote. there is early voting and voting on election day and filling out mail-y ballots. anyone can vote by mail in pennsylvania but they cannot be counted until election day. that's why in 2020 it took a few days past election day for joe biden to be declared the winner. and the lead can change as you count more and later tallied votes. nothing nefarious about that. and yet donald trump and republicans used that perfectly normal process and its completely routine delays to cry voter fraud and stolen election which led to trump's lawyer rudy giuliani winding up holding that embarrassing press conference at four seasons landscaping and thanks to the big lie about a stolen election which lots of republican voters believe there was an insu
