Lindell’s comments come as Cawthorn made headlines after he recently made claims, without evidence, that he had been invited to orgies and saw prominent figures “do a key bump of cocaine.” In addition, the congressman also suggested that life in Washington, DC is similar to the

political drama “House of Cards.”

Cawthorn’s remarks were met with pushback, including from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who said “he’s lost my trust,” Insider previously reported.

In an April 1 statement, Cawthorn said his statements on the podcast “have been used by the left and the media to disparage my Republican colleagues and falsely insinuate their involvement in illicit activities.”

He added: “The left and the media want to use my words to divide the GOP. They are terrified of Republicans taking back the House and seeing Leader McCarthy become Speaker McCarthy. Their efforts to divide us will fail.”

The 26-year-old spoke at the rally on Saturday and called for Dr. Anthony Fauci’s imprisonment and the impeachment of President Biden.
