Washington (CNN) Republican Rep.-elect Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina says he "absolutely" regrets posting a tweet mocking liberals just after he was elected last month. "It was targeted more at this kind of cancel culture and really the extremes on both ends," he told CNN in an interview before Christmas. Cawthorn told CNN his posts were mischaracterized and directly denied that he is a White supremacist. If I made somebody feel uncomfortable in a situation, that is never my goal," he told CNN. I don't care how old you are, but I would love to be surrounded by more young Republicans."
