Benny Johnson interviewed former representative Madison Cawthorn for over an hour:

Cawthorn lost his congressional seat after the GOP turned on him. Cawthorn’s crime was to pull back the curtain and answer a question bothering conservative voters for decades: “Why don’t the ‘conservative’ legislators vote for conservative policies?”
Why do Republicans sit on their hands while America is being invaded? 8 million illegal aliens have entered America in the last 3 years (on top of the 22 million already here). Federal agents open gates and fences, and cut down barriers erected by the state of Texas. This clearly violates the Constitution’s mandate to protect the country from invasion.
This should be a slam dunk for impeaching the President and the Secretary of Homeland Security. Democrats impeached President Trump twice, the second time with just a few days’ notice. Why do Republicans refuse to act to save the country from invasion?
Congress has the power of the purse. If they wanted to defund the persecution of President Trump and the January 6 political prisoners, they could, just as they could defund NPR, PBS, and other noxious agencies. Why won’t they?
Cawthorn’s response is that most politically powerful people are compromised. They are deliberately targeted by the deep state for sexual blackmail. This ensures that the Overton window will continue its leftward ratchet.
I don’t know quite how to respond to this revelation, although it explains a lot. Voting for reform of the system is just more controlled opposition. You know what they say: they wouldn’t let you vote if it made a difference.
On the other hand, I believe that people who post such counsels of despair online may well be agents of the deep state. I am not sure if it is possible to destroy the deep state, but I can think of some candidates in the presidential race who give me more optimism than others. No, I am not talking about the leading candidates. We will have to discuss that another day.
There appears to be two parties, the establishment and the rest of us.
