GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Cleans Gun During Veterans' Affairs Hearing
Daily Beast
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) lived up to his claim to fame on Wednesday of being the youngest current member of Congress.

The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee took Wednesday as an opportunity to hold a virtual hearing on how toxic chemicals are killing U.S. soldiers. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) took the hearing as an opportunity to clean his gun.
Cawthorn, the youngest current member of Congress, fiddled with his black pistol while one witness explained how university medical researchers could help the government examine how burn pits are harming military service members.
“It was immature. He’s a child. He lacks common sense. I think the congressman was overcompensating for something that he lacks and feeling inadequate among the heroes on that call,” said John Feal, a 9/11 first responder who was at the virtual meeting.
Feal was one of at least two people at the Veterans’ Affairs meeting who noticed what Cawthorn was doing. Both were infuriated. But the general public couldn’t see it, because the two-hour virtual hearing was held over Zoom—which meant that those tuning in could only see the person speaking.

Because he is an ignorant, foolish, selfish little shitweasel.

If someone was to do this in a zoom call where I work, I imagine they would not be working there for much longer.
Clearly an intimidation tactic.

he'll shoot himself while doing that. He's just dumb enough not to check whether the damn thing is loaded before he cleans it. My great-grandfather supposedly did that, but I think he intentionally committed suicide. (He had reasons to.)

1. Some people concentrate on things they hear better when they do something with their hands.
2. How would people in different rooms be intimidated? I don't think a bullet from his gun could fit through all the ethernet cables and routers between him and other Congress-Critters.

In real life, gun owners who bother to clean their guns learn to remove the magazine and check the chamber before removing the slide and disassembling it. Such gun owners also reflexively keep their finger outside of the trigger guard until they are about to fire the gun.
Yet another obvious Star Moron.
And yes, being the assaholics they are, DU-folk are mocking a person with disabilities. They'd call out "Stand up, Madison," intentionally rather than in a bout of cluelessness the way Biden did.

All I need to do is shoot a round at my router with the scary black gun, that has the thing on the stock that goes up, and poof, nothing but death and destruction all the way to the site I'm surfing. A .223 fed out of the clip of an automatic AR-15 would vaporize any mammal that dared graze near the buried fiber optic cables connecting my Wi-Fi to the rest of the world. The carnage would be horrible, but that's the insane power of the .223.

Moonbats are intimidated by the fact that guns exist, except when those guns are in the hands of the government, and then only when their party is in charge of said government.

You must be using the plastic, heat-seeking, invisible to x-ray bullets that can go around corners.

Oh no, the newest rounds can go through firewalls and create pink mist on the other side of a monitor
