Cawthorn's ability to talk out of both sides of his mouth was apparent on the campaign trail.  He frequently called for an end to partisan politics while decrying Democrats as godless communist monsters hellbent on destroying America, outlawing "Judeo-Christian values", confiscating all guns, and ruining white males... sometimes all in the same breath.  He also attacked the Republican establishment as cowards without "a backbone" who too frequently compromised with the Democrats, whom Cawthorn believes to be "so radical" that there can be "no middle ground" to be found with them.

Describing himself as a "weapon" for a "new generation of Republicans", Cawthorn's platform was one of an uncompromising partisan warrior, steeped in the rhetoric of Christian Dominionism and peppered with white nationalist dog whistles.      

Arguing against accountability for Trump's sedition and attempted coup, he promised he would set aside partisan politics and work with Democrats if they voted against impeachment.  This supercut highlights the hypocrisy of his mealy-mouthed calls for national unity and his disingenuous promise to compromise with Democrats.
