Calls for the exit of newly elected Rep. Madison Cawthorn from Congress have grown after critics say his rhetoric is partially to blame for the Capitol riots.
In an extraordinary move, Asheville City Council has said it will provide reparations for Black residents for historic wrongs, including slavery and discrimination.
Republican Sen. Thom Tills told the Asheville Council of Independent Business Owners that the biggest pandemic threat was unvaccinated North Carolinians, not Central American immigrants.
Protesters gathered at Congressman Madison Cawthorn's office in Hendersonville, demanding his removal from office following his role in a rally on Jan. 6 before a mob that stormed the capitol building.
