Wild new photos show Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who recently accused his fellow lawmakers of inviting him to orgies and doing cocaine in front of him, dressed in women's lingerie, chugging wine and surrounded by women.
The photos, which were obtained by Politico and look to make even the most devoted partiers blush, show the 26-year-old Republican with a vacant look in his eyes, wearing women's hoop earrings and a woman's necklace along with a bra and lingerie set.
Screenshots of the photos were provided by someone who used to be close to Cawthorn and his campaign. A second former confidante of Cawthorn verified the photos. It's unclear when they were taken, but he appears to be sitting in his wheelchair, indicating they were taken after the car accident that left him paralyzed in 2014.
Cawthorn brushed off the photos on Twitter Friday evening, and claimed it was all part of a cruise game.
'I guess the left thinks goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise (taken waaay before I ran for Congress) is going to somehow hurt me? They're running out of things to throw at me...' he wrote on Twitter.
Cawthorn shared a link describing the Royal Caribbean Quest Game Show. 'What Royal Caribbean event has you sharing your underwear, putting lipstick on strangers and screaming at the top of your lungs? It's the Quest game show, the adults-only scavenger hunt that ranks as a cruise can't-miss,' CruiseCritic.com says of the game.

The North Carolina Republican, the youngest member of Congress to date, has eked out a political persona based on hyper-conservative Christian principles and hypermasculinity.
And even amid recent fire from party leadership in Congress, former President Trump maintained his support, inviting Cawthorn to rally with him in Selma, North Carolina on April 9.
In December 2021, Cawthorn announced that he and his CrossFit athlete wife Cristina Bayardelle were getting a divorce after just eight months married.
'Madison is amazing – we’ve had an incredible journey together. Our marriage, like every marriage, has had its difficulties. The lifestyle shift into public life has been strenuous, and many aspects of the transition have been unexpected,' she said of their divorce in December.
Earlier this month, Cawthorn asserted that real women had 'XX chromosomes' and 'no tallywacker.'
'There's only one God and two genders,' he wrote in a tweet earlier this week.
'I think that we have bred a generation of soft men and that generation has created a lot of problems in our society and our culture,' Cawthorn said in a March 2021 podcast.
Faced with seven primary challengers, Cawthorn recently declared that he is 'not going anywhere' after Republicans turned on him when the congressman decried on a podcast
