Extremist Rep. Madison Cawthorn Threatens To Gut Workers’ Rights

Will House Republicans Fall In Line With Extremist Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s Radical Attack On American Workers And Workplace Safety? 

Last week, extremist House Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn took to Twitter in a threat to “gut” workers’ rights. Said Cawthorn, “I’m filing a bill to gut OSHA,” referring to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Cawthorn’s threat to gut the agency responsible for keeping American workers safe on the job comes after President Biden announced large employers will need to require employees to get vaccinated or face weekly COVID-19 testing. Instead of joining President Biden to crush the pandemic, Cawthorn is training his focus on making American workers less safe overall, from factory workers and custodial staff, to teachers and healthcare workers.

Question That Needs Answers: Will House Republicans fall in line with extremist Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s radical attack on American workers or act boldly to crush this pandemic, and protect the agency charged with keeping all workers safe?

DCCC Spokesperson Chris Taylor

“House Republicans should go on the record: will they join Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s extremist attack on American workers and a safe workplace, or will they denounce his foolishness and get serious about crushing this pandemic?”
