In an interview this week, North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn said that he had been invited to an orgy by people he didn't know, and witnessed prominent figures consuming drugs right in front of him.
Cawthorn made these claims on a Friday episode of the Warrior Poet Society, during which he was asked by host John Lovell how closely life in DC mirrored House of Cards.
Cawthorn was asked how much of the show was representative of the real goings-on in DC.
I heard a former president was asked a question about this. He gave an answer that I thought was true. He said that the only thing that wasn't correct in the show was that you couldn't get a piece of legislation about education passed quickly.
Kevin Spacey, the show's lead actor, did an interview with the magazine in 2015. Spacey said that Bill Clinton made a comparison between life in Washington and the show.
On Friday, Cawthorn said that he had witnessed sexual perversion in Washington.
Cawthorn said that he looked at a lot of the people in the Capitol and that their average age was probably 60 or 70.
Cawthorn asked, "What did you just ask me to come to?", and then he realized they were asking him to go to an orgy.
The first-term congressman said that he had witnessed some prominent figures who were on the movement to try and remove addiction in our county, doing a "key bump of cocaine" in front of him.
Cawthorn did not name the individuals involved in the incidents, nor did he give any further information.
The lawmaker said that a lot of people in DC were trading in the "currency of secrets" and that journalists kept nasty stories on the shelf.
He said that working in Washington is the worst job in the world.
Cawthorn split from his wife after less than a year of marriage, citing a "hectic and difficult" lifestyle change following his election to Congress. He was called an "outlier" by senior members of the party after saying that the government in Ukraine was "very vile" and "well known for corruption".
