Democrat-Turned-MAGA Republican Spins Heads With Lightning-Fast 180 Regarding Trump
HuffPost
Jeff Van Drew's comments on Fox Business were headed in one direction before taking a very sudden turn.
Social media users mocked Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) for a word salad explanation for why he was backing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to continue in the leadership role.
Van Drew’s comments on Fox Business contained contradictions and signs of utter subservience to President-elect Donald Trump, critics said.
The congressman ― who defected from the Democrats in 2019 in protest against the first impeachment of Trump and whose Iranian “mothership” claims earlier this month about drone sightings was swatted down by the Pentagon ― was asked if he supported Johnson’s bid to retain the top House job.
Trump himself has endorsed Johnson to remain in the position.
Van Drew said: “I am supporting the speaker and let me say, if, you know, I hear from President Donald Trump, who I do speak with relatively regularly and I have a relationship with him, to the contrary, that would change my mind.”
