'There are some things in some areas that I know we can work together,' Congressman Jeff Van Drew explained. 'The way to do that is not to call for another impeachment.'

Van Drew appeared to backtrack on his own calls for less division and punitive political moves during his appearance ontelling host Maria Bartiromo it's"unbelievable" that House Democrats may impeach Trump for a second time. The representative scoffed that Trump will be out of office by the time House Speakercould follow through on impeachment threats in response to last week's deadly Capitol Hill riot at Trump's behest.

Despite blaming"very progressive" Democrats for supporting a"divisive" impeachment process, Van Drew said there are still some ways for the two parties to come together under the incoming Biden administration. But he went on to rail against election voter fraud as his number one concern moving forward.

"With this cynical move, Van Drew continues his unique pattern of subverting the will of the people," the."In 2018, [he] not only switched parties but pledged a public oath to serve President Trump over his own constituents."

Do they mean more divisive than an insurrection?

Love to see what they would say if tables where turned

You too ?

Can we say traitor.

GULIANNI AND TRUMP EDITED THE tape and lied to you. you've been duped

So it's OK to chant 'lock her up' but not 'lock him up '?

That's what they say when they don't want to acknowledge something 'it's diving us'

It’s necessary. Can’t you see?

When you're a fascist, everyone else is 'very left'. ImpeachTrumpNow ExpelTheSeditionists

We call it necessary. VERY NECESSARY. THE MAN IS A MONSTER, EVIL AND IGNORANT. IMPEACH HIM!!

Let’s ask Nancy to resign for making this comment: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that pro-Trump rioters who breached the Capitol on Wednesday 'chose their Whiteness over Democracy.' People have been for less! Her evilness has destroyed our democracy! 🤨

Doubt he believes his own BS

Mr. Trump, his children, his “advisors” and campaign manager stood in a secure area watching the riot he incited unfold on TV. They were laughing, gleefully watching while people were killed. They are responsible for what happed that day and for the impending impeachment.

Mr Van tell me since when GOP calls for unify with democrats? Who been diving the country and wich party members been supporting from back this insurrection ?

And the GOP clown show continues

How does he explain the Republicans that are supporting this ?

Divisive is calling a mob to storm the capital

When did Johnny Rotten become a politician?

Lets get it straight division has been the American motto for 5 years. Impeachment is how you unite the country because a coup has consequences

Funny. I blame the GOP coddling to a narcissist and riling up white supremacists for the last 4 years for causing the major divide we see today.

WHAT?!!? Does that mean they don’t think Trump is devisive? He just dropped a house on them a week ago. What else has to happen before Treasonous Trump pays for his treachery? This country is going to be screwed. We are going to be sooooo screwed?

All of the sudden you guys have learned what “divisive” means...

Look in the mirror it people like you that made this happen

He is completely wrong...It is the everyday Jane and Joe who would like to see Trump and his allies learn a valuable lesson; that criminal acts do not happen without some type of consequence.

Why the absolute hell is wrong with you? dumbfuck

Fascist.

Sorry, I'm center left and if Speaker Pelosi doesn't stand up and do the one thing the House has at its disposal, she would look feckless. Impeachment, NOW! A cop is dead. 4 others dead. Many injured. Mike Pence was, in part, a target of Trump's mob - as was the Speaker.

There’s nothing divisive or fascist about canceling a president and everyone who’s weakly associated with supporting him.

Sleeze!

Ok..so not the rethugs supporting an insurrection?

Who the fuck is this dork?

NVM that it was Trump's call to come to the capitol that had his colleagues hiding behind locked doors...nope, that didn't divide ➗

There’s still Trump loyalists that need to be exposed and voted out of office

It is you GOP who must take a stand and denounce voter fraud. Stand up to Trump. It is you GOP who continue to condone this atrocity by not speaking. Only you GOP can put an end to Trump.

🏛🇺🇸

These GOP aholes haven't used the word 'divisive' wrt Trump's for 4 yrs. They damn sure were silent while he was lying and fomenting distrust re:election fraud & inciting an insurrection Rs *always* ignore/defend Trump's actions & attack Dems instead. This is more of the same.

This guy is horrific

The divisiveness is only 3 members from Republican Party publicly denounced what happened last Jan 6 was insurrection lead by trump and his allies. Putin is so happy his game plan worked. Is that what u support?

eat a bag of d's

I think an American President acting like a Marvel comic villain, inciting an attempted massacre of our entire legislative branch and getting away with it would be slightly more 'divisive.'

No!!! Don’t push this to people because this will not cut it. You made this election divisive and ran on hate. No! No! No! This is unacceptable. Enablers made this happen.

He is not a lawmaker but a operative for Trumps fascist rule

Well you either are on the side of treason or you aren't. If you aren't on the side of treason, you condemn treason, you believe in justice, and denounce all the seditionists involved. If you are in the side of treason, you say its divisive to condemn it.

This has nothing to do with the left but what is right and the right thing to do is to impeach a sitting President who used his power to incite violence

You know what is really divisive? Gaslighting. Minimizing, denying and outright lying about the harm caused by 45 for four years, claiming these riots were a surprise on 1/6 and fabricating stories to shift blame to the other side. Don't preach unity now to cover your complicity.

Any real American would want Trump to answer for his crimes

There was, however no divisive rhetoric coming out of trump and his sycophants, I assume, by your very partisan comment...🙄

Are you kidding me?

He is Trump cult. What was 'divisive' was the president attempting a coup and inciting his seditious mob to storm the Capitol, with the assistance of people like Jeff Van Drew. What was 'divisive' were the bombs, napalm, molotov cocktails, zip ties, tasers & guns. JUSTICE= UNITY

When did Republicans stop being the party of personal responsibility? Oh, when they became a Trump cult.
