Madison Cawthorn called for revenge against Republicans who did not support him in his failed reelection attempt.
It's time for the NC-11 GOP to rally behind the Republican ticket to defeat the Democrats in this year's election, said the congressman on Tuesday night.
Cawthorn posted a list of so-called "patriot" like Trump, but vowed to purge the GOP of them.
He said that it was time for the rise of the new right and that it was time for Dark MAGA to take control.

I am on a mission to expose those who say and promise one thing yet legislate and work towards another, self-profiteering, globalist goal.
Many top congressional Republicans were fed up with Cawthorn and were happy to see him lose. Cawthorn had a gun in his carry-on bag at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, was implicated in an insider trading scheme, and had a series of sexually suggestive images that appeared completely at odds with his self-proclaimed conservative Christian lifestyle. The final straw for top Republicans may have been when Cawthorn said that he was invited to orgies by colleagues in Washington and did cocaine in front of him. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Cawthorn he needed to turn himself around after he made the comments.
Even though other Republicans distanced themselves, Trump remained a steadfast supporter of Cawthorn. The former president said on Truth Social that Cawthorn deserved another chance after making some foolish mistakes.
