Republican North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn was recently charged in his home state with driving with a revoked license, which carries a maximum of 20 days in jail.

Cawthorn was pulled over by North Carolina state highway patrol March 3 in Cleveland County, North Carolina, Traffic Court records show. He was previously charged with the same offense in 2017, the Asheville Citizen Times reported, although that charge was dismissed. Driving with a revoked license is a Class 3 misdemeanor in North Carolina, and defendants can face fines of up to $200, in addition to the potential jail sentence.

The congressman was “polite and cooperative” during the stop, the state trooper who pulled him over noted in the citation.

I have never even heard of this man before,but he is as likely to go to jail for this as I am to flap my arms and fly to the moon.

BTW,does ANYBODY have ANY freaking idea WHY this cretin doesn't just get a damn drivers license? It ain't all that hard to do,and if you think it is,just spend a couple of hours in a Wal-Mart parking lot checking out the customers that drove there for proof.

Hell,even Hunter and Joe Biden have driver's licenses,so how hard CAN it be? One is a crack head and the other is brain dead.

His driver's license was apparently revoked according to the title of this story. So he did something to get it revoked. The most common reasons would be drunk driving and reckless driving...

Ok,thanks. I had never even thought of that,although it is possible to get a restricted drivers license that allows  you to only drive back and forth to work,and you KNOW no state drivers license office is going to turn him down.

Also,it is hard to believe that with the staff members these people are allowed,that he can't find someone willing to drive him around.

Have we finally found someone too freaking stoopid to be holding public office?

Not counting the Biden family,of course.

Different crime.  He was charged with driving on a revoked license (more serious than driving on suspended license).  This is not the same as driving with no license.

In North Carolina, you can get your license revoked for driving over 80 mph or driving 15 mph over the speed limit.  He currently has two speeding tickets pending, 89 in a 65, and 87 in a 70.  Since neither of these have gone to court, neither would be the cause of a revoked license.

I suspect that he will plea this out to 'driving with no license'.  But once the other two charges are settled, he won't be driving for a while.

Thank you for the additional information,although I will note the punishment for some of these seems to be harsher than necessary to ME.
