Former campaign volunteers say Madison Cawthorn 'fooled' them and they're supporting his primary opponents
When Madison Cawthorn first ran for office in 2020, Bruce Rose spent hours passing out flyers in different counties, knocking on doors, and poll-watching to help someone he felt would be a future conservative star.
His four months volunteering for Cawthorn's campaign consisted of working alongside dozens of fellow Republicans in an environment he recalled as "energetic." Now two years later, Cawthorn is running for reelection.
When Rose looks back at his time helping Cawthorn win his first term, memories he once recalled fondly are now tinged by a sense of betrayal.
