Cawthorn claims people in DC have invited him to orgy, done cocaine in front of him (ethic, suspect)

And this is a surprise to... who?

When in a den of rattlesnakes, one might expect to see some rattles.

Since one if flat out illegal and the other carries huge social stigma, generally participants limit invitations to only those they are fairly certain will say yes. Most people, even young people, have never been offered a chance to do either of those things.

People make false assumptions about other people all the time. Obviously whoever invited him made a poor assumption about his character, and thought he'd be cool with this type of crap.

That is precisely what happens with newbies. The swamp eventually finds a weakness to exploit, & then they own that Congressperson. It might be drugs, money, sex, or all of the above.

I wonder how true this is. It sounds like something right out of a movie script.

I have zero interest in any of this kind of stuff. I'm a pretty boring vanilla guy. Coke fueled orgies are not in the cards for me.
