Donald Trump has urged voters to give embattled North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn a “second chance” ahead of the GOP primary on Tuesday.
The former president, who previously endorsed Cawthorn in March, once again gave his backing to the freshman following a series of controversies and antics which have threatened his chances of getting re-elected.
Over the past several months, Cawthorn has been cited for the second time for bringing a loaded gun to an airport, and was caught allegedly driving with a revoked license. There have been claims the congressman is involved in an illegal insider trader scheme related to a “Let’s Go Brandon” cryptocoin—a cryptocurrency named after the Republican catchphrase used to attack President Joe Biden.
