In January 2021, the House of Representatives held a vote to strip QAnon conspiracy theorist and Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments. Rep. Van Drew, voted no.
In recent days, Taylor Green compared health measures to Nazi Germany and this morning tweeted:
As a reminder, Van Drew has stood by Taylor Greene’s side as she…
- “Repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians.”
- Launched a white nationalist and openly racist Caucus
- Went on tour with Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is under investigation for his associations with a man who recently pleaded guilty to federal sex trafficking charges.
- Harassed fellow members of Congress
“Jeff Van Drew and the GOP’s descent into unhinged conspiracy theories appears to have no limits,” said DCCC spokesperson James Singer. “Van Drew claims he left the Democratic Party because it was radical, only to stand by and defend a QAnon conspiracy theorists and white nationalists like Marjorie Taylor Greene. His choice to stand by and defend Taylor Greene in January and every day since has had consequences. Voters can see clearly the GOP and Jeff Van Drew have chosen to become the party of QAnon and radical extremism, over a functioning political party dedicated to helping those they represent.”
