Staffers Revolt After Anti-Impeachment Dem Congressman Considers Switch to GOP

Bongino.com: Former Democrat Congressman Jeff Van Drew (NJ) has lost at least six of his staffers after it was reported he was considering joining the Republican Party in the midst of the House impeachment push against President Donald Trump.

In a letter to Van Drew’s chief of staff yesterday, five of his staffers wrote, “Sadly, Congressman Van Drew’s decision to join the ranks of the Republican Party led by Donald Trump does not align with the values we brought to this job when we joined this office.”

Another staffer, who did not sign on to the letter, has also reportedly resigned.

The congressman met with President Trump on Friday to discuss his potential party change and was one of two Democrats who voted against the impeachment inquiry.

Van Drew told USA Today last month that while he found President Trump’s actions “unsavory,” he opposed the impeachment inquiry because “impeachment is a very, very serious issue.”

President Trump reacted to the news of Van Drew’s impending party departure, tweeting yesterday, that he had “Always heard Jeff is very smart.” read more

  1. Burner,

    Believe it comes out of his budget so a win for him…

    Also a chance to hire someone not drinking the kool-aid and possibly capable of critical thinking and doing a job.

    Mickey,

    You’ve answered your own question. No values is the answer.

  2. Seems we’ve imported/accepted many folks who want to do the work Americans won’t do. Pick a dozen or two for a lower price, and learn to speak Spanish.
