    Former GOP congressman crashes into Florida highway patrol vehicle in alleged road rage incident: report (msn.com)

    A driver says that Former disgraced GOP congressman Cawthorne was road raging in a construction zone and somehow rear ended and injured a Florida State Trooper. Some might remember him from his congressional orgy claims and insider trading investigations. Another intitled idiot doing what they do best....

    "I pulled over to the right shoulder lane and stopped to ask if everyone was ok and to offer assistance. I couldn't believe my eyes. It occurred to me that former CONGRESSMAN CAWTHORNE [sic] from NC was the black CAR that stormed by me in an angry road rage tantrum," Shapiro wrote.

    "As I drove away & replayed the surreal scene in my head, I realized it was the same car who was erratically & aggressively driving behind & then around me. Unbelievably scary & upsetting to see."

    According to the Florida Highway Patrol, at approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday, an FHP state trooper vehicle was rear ended on I-75, at mile marker 60, in a construction zone in Collier County. The other vehicle was a 2021 Mercedes driven by a 28-year-old man from Cape Coral, Florida.

    "The state trooper sustained minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital," Lt. Greg Bueno said in a statement.

    Charge him with all pertinent charges and follow through with prosecution via the legal system.

    And keep him in Florida. He used to represent me in Congress until the cousin humping videos became too much even for the deeply red Christian electorate around here.
    After losing the election but before his term was over he quit showing up for work and moved to FL. Keep him.

    That trooper's car had it coming. Biden is weaponizing the legal system against Republicans again.

    Per the article the only citation he received was for violating our move over law.

    The guy is a disaster in so many ways. The lies he told while campaigning. The way he crashed and burned as a congressman. Now this ...
