{{cquote|Aside from that, I mean the sexual perversion that goes on in Washington – I mean it being kind of a young guy in Washington with the average age of probably 60 or 70. And look at all these people, a lot of them that I, you know, I’ve looked up to through my life. I’ve always paid attention to politics guys that, you know, then all of a sudden you get invited to like well, hey, we’re going to have a kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes.

Or the fact that you know, there’s some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country and then you watch them doing, you know, a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. And it’s like wow, this is wild.}}

in the 2022 North Carolina primaries, Cawthorn lost the Republican primary race to Senator Chuck Edwards, despite President Trump's endorsement of him. <ref>Robertson, G. D. (2022, May 18).

Combined with multiple failures to disarm at a TSA checkpoint and accusations of being invited to cocaine orgies by lead representatives, a negative light of immaturity and lack of ideals for traditional relationships may have led to his defeat.<ref>Person, &amp; Morgan, D.
