This is an old video of North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn, whose name sounds like it lost the Civil War, punching a tree.

Perhaps he's trying to imitate the little Russian girl who punches trees for a living, but it's unclear. Anyway, excited to see how he'll transfer these skills into politics.

Looks like Madison Cawthorn didn’t read The Lorax. pic.twitter.com/7EN9hIQwD5
