Freshman Congressman Madison Cawthorn said during a speech this week that, if Republicans regain the House, he is going to draft legislation that would allow America to seize every single Chinese asset in the United States. This, Cawthorn claims, would be a "downpayment" on "reparations" for COVID-19, which he says that China may or may not have willingly released on the world. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains all of the things that are completely wrong about Cawthorn's idiotic statement.

During a speech this week, we're publican representative Madison. Cawthorne laid out his plan for what Republicans are going to do if they regain a majority in the house of representatives. And, uh, to be honest, it's quite terrifying. So here he is, in his own words, explaining what Republicans are going to do. If they take back the house here, it is
The battle. And we will fight for the rest of our lives. Is it against the Chinese communist party? When you see what they're doing by trying to steal our intellectual property by releasing whether it was by mismanagement or on purpose by releasing COVID-19 into the world with my friends, I believe that they always need reparations for that. And so if we take, if we didn't take over the house, we will draft some form legislation that will seize every single piece of Chinese assets in the United States of America as a downpour of what they [inaudible].
All right. All address has claimed that may be China released COVID on the world intentionally. And just the moment, but let's start with the seizing of Chinese assets here in the United States as reparations for COVID-19, whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally. Um, that's not how the law works. Madison, it's shocking how stupid you are, but it's even more shocking how stupid that audience is because they liked what you had to say. The United States cannot legally just claim all of China's assets here in this country, because there's a virus. And do you know why we don't want that to happen, Madison, because that is going to set a dangerous precedent around the globe for all of the us assets that we have everywhere to be seized by foreign countries, as reparations for all of the horrible things we've done for the last hundred years. Um, I don't know if you know this, but we've, we've been involved in multiple international conflicts really in just the last 50 years that have wreaked havoc and caused devastation, millions of civilian lives lost because of the U S military.
Do you really want those countries to take our lead and, you know, seize our assets as reparations for all of that. So, so maybe just, you know, stop putting that out there in the ether. The other part is this is not the first time that Madison has actually suggested seizing China's assets. He said the same thing in his speech. It was actually one month to the day prior to this speech. So this is the same talking point. This kid keeps throwing out. He doesn't know what it means. He doesn't even know how it would work. And of course he clearly doesn't know that that's really not legal. And honestly probably sets a really bad precedent, but Madison Cawthorne wasn't elected to office because of his brains. He was elected to office because he was a demagogue. He went out there, he told people what they wanted to hear.
He would be a fighter and he goes to Washington DC and does absolutely nothing. Seriously. Madison, if you wanted to get this piece of legislation out there, there's literally nothing stopping you from introducing it now, but you're all talk. No action. So you're just stringing these people along, giving them the same recycled speech time and time again, not coming up with any new talking points whatsoever, but somehow you continu e to fail upwards and how you manage to pull that off is absolu beyo nd me.
