North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn addressed the comments he made regarding orgies and cocaine use taking place with politicians.

Cawthorn didn’t retract his statement, but tried to distinguish that he wasn’t talking specifically about his Republican lawmakers.

“Corruption and unethical activities exist in Washington,” Cawthorn, 26, said in a statement first obtained by Fox News Digital. “It’s an indisputable fact. If you don’t think that’s true, you’ve not witnessed the Swamp.

“My comments on a recent podcast appearance calling out corruption have been used by the left and the media to disparage my Republican colleagues and falsely insinuate their involvement in illicit activities.”

“I’ve considered for several days how best to address this controversy. The culture in Washington is corrupt. Human nature is fallen. Compromising activities occur because when other people can place you in compromising positions, they control you. It’s all about power, but my colleagues and I are fighting that corruption,” he added.

“Western North Carolina, you sent me to Washington to change the culture. If you want Washington to operate without accountability, send someone else. If you want someone who will throw the entire DC swamp into a meltdown because I call out corruption, send me back,” he said.

He continued, “The left and the media want to use my words to divide the GOP. They are terrified of Republicans taking back the House and seeing Leader McCarthy become Speaker McCarthy. Their efforts to divide us will fail. I will not back down to the mob, and I will not let them win. I will continue fighting for many years to come.” 

North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, who is a Republican, told reporters this week that he believes Cawthorn has “been an embarrassment at times.”
