House Democrat Jeff Van Drew Signals He’s Not Voting for Pelosi’s Impeachment Bill

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) said Tuesday that he will likely vote against a resolution by House Democrats to formalize their secret impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, prompting more uncertainly around whether Thursday’s expected vote will go on as planned.

Asked by NBC News reporter Alex Moe if he supports the measure, Van Drew replied: “I would imagine that I’m not voting for it.” Van Drew, whose district President Trump won in 2016, is among roughly a dozen House Democrats who oppose the impeachment inquiry. “I have long maintained the position that the impeachment or potential impeachment would not be good for Democrats or Republicans,” the lawmaker told Fox News in September.

“One decent Democrat.”

He may be decent, or he may not. I would be more impressed by a Democrat from a safe district making such a statement. That would actually show principles.

[rktman]

WUT? He'll get a call from menendez or tony soprano. NJ dem NOT voting for impeachment?😮

[Stentor]

One decent Democrat.

He sees the gravy train leaving the station without him. There are no longer any decent democrats.

With your nickname, I now have to ask, are you ronery?

Racist!

The Dam will break now.

They can all admit that

a) they're terrified.

b) that's *why* this is a farce.

I live in one of the districts that switched from Republican in the last election. I wrote a long email telling my Rep.that how she voted would determine whether she made a second term, and that Trump will not be railroaded without consequences. I suggest everyone write their congressman.

Agree with you. I have trouble understanding how a decent human being can be a member of that party; an ignorant person? Yeah, sure. Misinformed, deceived, misled, or gas-lighted? Why not. Decent? No.

That said, it's more impressive for a rep from the People's Republic to take that position than one from a regular American state. This tells me that impeachment is in jeopardy regardless of what Rachel Madcow would say.

Nancy is willing to allow shade to a few.

[shelterguy]

Nancy has to decide. If she gets the votes to pass this she will also lose the majority next year. Interesting times.

[Freee-dame]

Exactly. Dems have always done this. No more than the correct number of Dems from Districts that voted for Trump in 2016 will be given permission to vote against the phony procedure. Dems know how to play the political game. Shrewd, yes. Honorable, no.

[Balding_Eagle]

One decent Democrat.

You said that with a straight face?

A Democrat is backed into a corner, and he is willing to sell out his ideology in order to stay in office, and you call him decent?

What's wrong with you!!!!

My lefty Congressman does believe in lynching—for white people.
