Five Staffers of Rep. Jeff Van Drew RESIGN over the lawmaker's decision to leave the Democratic Party
2019-12-16
[MAIL] Five staffers serving under freshman Democratic Congressman Jeff Van Drew resigned on Sunday after news of the lawmakers decision to join the Republican Party following a meeting with President Donald Trump.

In a letter addressed to Allison Murphy, Van Drew's chief of staff, the aides wrote that the politician's latest move, 'does not align with the values we brought to this job when we joined his office.'

Furthermore, they expressed how 'deeply saddened' and 'disappointed' they were by Van Drew's decision.

#6  I'd prefer to withhold celebration / judgement until it is proven absolute that Mr. Van Drew is not a "boomerang" of some variety.

#5  Good. So long.

#4  Good. The honorable thing to do rather than staying on and sabotaging him...like (cough, cough) Obamites in Trump admin.

#2  Resigning seems like a normal thing to do since they were probably all Dims. I would have been surprised and applauded them if the staff resigned and all went with Jeff Van Drew to the Pubs.

#1  Regardless of the party, the departure of congressional staffers should be celebrated. They are generally an obsequious lot.
