Former Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) posted a video to Instagram on Sunday that is making some people squeamish.
In the video, he’s seen eating what appears to be raw meat from an animal he killed while hunting. Cawthorn was dressed head to toe in camouflage gear.
“Normally we contract the killing of food out to the grocery store hitmen, but it’s always good to remember where it all comes from and practice those essential life skills,” he said in the caption.

The former congressman further promoted a group called Disabled Outdoorsmen. “They do incredible work. I wish they had been around when I first got into a wheelchair. You feel so limited and powerless as you’re going through rehab, but getting to go out into God’s creation with good men and do activities you love is so healing,” Cawthorn wrote.
The organization also shared a snap of Cawthorn from the trip. In the photo, he is holding a dead animal over his shoulders. “This weekend DisabledOutdoorsmenUSA and our good friends at @2a.daddy has the privilege to hunt alongside @madisoncawthorn on his first Blackbuck hunt down at the @redstone_ranch!” it captioned the post.
According to its website, “Our main focus is to deliver an unforgettable experience that was previously not possible. Helping people take their minds off of daily struggles is what drives us to serve you.”

Last year, after suffering from several scandals, Cawthorn lost in the Republican primary for North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District. He was bested by state Sen. Chuck Edwards, who went on to win in November’s midterm elections. Edwards was recently sworn into the House of Representatives.
