 Another day, another far right nitwit caught in a lie.  It's a pretty brazen one, too.

This is even worse.  You wonder how somebody this deceitful could ever get elected to any political office:

Cawthorn told the chapel gathering that Ledford was “freaking out” and that he “ran into the woods [and] he leaves me in the car to die.” Only because of the actions of a bystander was he freed from the wreckage before flames reached him, he said. 

The assembled students were stunned by Cawthorn’s story and sympathetic to his claim that he may have been fatally abandoned by his “best friend.” But as the letter noted citing several sources, this also was false. The letter linked to an interview that Cawthorn’s father gave to Asheville television station WLOS just days after the crash. 

Ledford “wasn’t scared, didn’t run from the fire. He pulled [Madison] from the car because he was unconscious,” Cawthorn’s father said. “He saved our son’s life.” 

The letter concluded: “Cawthorn is willing to skew the truth and slander the character of a friend who saved his life.”

The kid is way in over his head:

For the record, Pamela Brown is the daughter of the late broadcaster Phyllis George, who passed away last year at the age of 70.

 

 Cawthorn really should resign from Congress.
