While he was there, an attendee snapped a photo of what appeared to be a knife stored underneath his wheelchair.
Politics being what it is, Cawthorn’s adversaries are not content to let the issue die with the ruling from the sheriff’s office. On Sunday evening, American Muckrakers, a political action committee that opposes Cawthorn sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, urging her “to investigate” the matter “and take appropriate action.” A draft of the letter was obtained by New York.
The letter claims that the photo published by New York is evidence that Cawthorn violated laws against the possession of dangerous weapons in the District of Columbia, and that the length of the blade of the knife they allege Cawthorn owns — 4.45 inches — is longer than the 3-inch blade that the U.S. Capitol permits staff to carry.
