Dems Press TSA For Gun Charges Against Cawthorn

The Hill reports:

Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) have asked the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to take action against Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) for his incident involving a firearm at an airport checkpoint.

Their letter comes just days after Rep. Madison Cawthorn was cited for trying to bring a loaded gun through a TSA checkpoint.

According to Thompson and Coleman, two incidents in such a short period of time should be a cause for concern regarding repeat offenses involving a firearm. They urged the TSA “to act decisively to ensure repeat offenders like Rep. Cawthorn face the full extent of TSA’s enforcement actions.”
