Mr Wheeler provided The Times with a screenshot of the anonymous text he received, including the video, and said he believed the adviser was a former aide to Cawthorn’s campaign. Another former aide, Lisa Wiggins, announced publicly in an audio recording released by Mr. Wheeler with her consent, saying, “We all want the ultimate goal of him never serving again.”
Republicans in the state insist accusations of lawlessness and neglect of his neighborhood are more harmful than the details of his sex life. Democrats say they are most concerned about Mr Kotorn’s support for the protesters who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Legal efforts by North Carolina Democrats to label him a “rebel” and constitutionally disqualify him from voting failed last month.
But revelations about his behavior caused a furor. Mr Kotorn’s lingerie photos, first published in Politico, stem from an obscene game on a cruise he took before being elected, said Melissa Burns, a self-determined Conservative Tennessee Republican who was witness the game, part of a board show.
Finally, the audience was divided into teams, each of which chose a man to dress like a woman, “the sexier she is, the more points you get,” Ms. Burns said in an email. Mr. Cotorn volunteered.
The description is in line with the description Mr Kotorn shared on Twitter when he dismissed the photos, saying: Congress) will it hurt me in any way? “
Ms Burns also provided a link to a cruise dating app from someone identified as Cawthorn, using the same photo published in Politico, saying: “I’m looking for sexy women or couples for some wild sex. You will not be disappointed. “
Mr Ball, a spokesman for Mr Kotorn, did not deny Ms Burns’ description of the lingerie game, but said the dating app was fake, using the wrong age, the wrong hometown and the wrong name on the ship.
