“I look at a lot of these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life ― I’ve always paid attention to politics,” he said. “Then all of a sudden, you get invited to, ‘Oh, hey, we’re going to have a sexual get-together at one of our homes, you should come.’ Then you realized they’re asking you to come to an orgy.”
In 2021, days before the US Capital insurrection by Trump supporters, Hawthorn spoke at the “Save America” rally that questioned US President Joe Biden’s win.
In March 2022, Cawthorn described Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “thug”. He said the Ukrainian was government “incredibly evil” and “pushing woke ideologies”
