A day after a North Carolina congressman alleged other lawmakers invited him to an orgy and did drugs in front of him, an experienced Capitol Hill reporter said the portrayal of Washington, D.C., as the new “sin city” is not a widely held belief.
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) made the claims on the podcast “Warrior Poet Society.” Cawthorn is in his second year in Congress.
Judy Kurtz told Dan Abrams the attitude in Washington is closer to what you see on HBO’s “Veep” than Netflix’s “House of Cards.”
