Democrats have wanted to exact revenge on U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-2) ever since the South Jersey congressman changed parties in 2020 and became Donald Trump's most reliable Garden State ally.
The trouble is they haven't exactly come close, and are left seething in the aftermath of statements like this:
"We all love America. I love Cape May. I love New Jersey," Van Drew said at a 2024 rally in Wildwood while welcoming Trump to New Jersey. "We see what's happening today in a faltering economy. We're here today because we're tired of the open borders. There is nothing wrong with saying we believe in America first."
The Democrat turned Republican who served as state director of Trump's 2024 campaign, added, "We're here and we ain't going away." The Biden Administration - "it makes us sick, which is why we're here. I know Democrats, let's face it - that Democratic Party does not represent the Democratic Party of our parents."
A few people could probably make the case that Donald Trump probably ain't Dwight David Eisenhower.
That's just a guess.
