Cawthorn’s judgement should worry us

To the Editor:

I am worried. Our newly elected congressman Madison Cawthorn contests what he has tweeted about as the right to a free and fair election. As he stated: “the right to vote is the cornerstone of our Republic.” 

The behavior of the president is wrong and breaks election law and our newly elected, uninformed and immature congressman insists his behavior needs to be supported. What will he do when he is making decisions as a lawmaker? Will he take his oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution” seriously or see it as a means to profit his personal agenda?  

We have heard it over and over, the President disrespects the rights of U.S. citizens. The “Contestor-in-Chief” seems unstable and wants to change the past to suit his damaged ego.  

America has spoken. I admit I am not happy with Madison Cawthorn’s victory. Can I contest it please?
