Freshly-minted Republican Jeff Van Drew backpedals his "undying" support for Trump. #WompWomp

[Miles Archer]

Making the party switch official on Thursday, Van Drew appeared alongside the president in the Oval Office. Trump officially endorsed Van Drew for his re-election and celebrated having a turncoat.

Van Drew, in response, made a staggeringly obsequious gesture to the president.

“You have my undying support, always,” Van Drew told Trump.

***

Katherine Faulders of ABC News later asked Van Drew about his pledge of “undying” support for Trump, and the New Jersey Congressman tried to deny it.

“I don’t know if I said… did I say ‘undying’?” he told her. “I don’t think it was ‘undying.’ I usually don’t speak that way. I said, I think, ‘You have my support.’ And he does.”

However, he did clearly say “undying” to the president. It was on tape.

2. At least he's in the correct party now--he's a hypocrite!

[hatrack]

3. I see the KKK rally in his suit jacket pocket continues . . . .

[fierywoman]

7. ... it looks like a caterer's folded dinner napkin ...

[hatrack]

9. And he looks like the caterer who suddenly realized all the wedding guests have food poisoning

Happy Trails, Jeff!

[fierywoman]

12. hahahahahahaha ... or that he is about to be eaten alive ....

[Aristus]

22. The 'four-peaks' pocket silk configuration is about 50 years out-of-date.

The 1960's 'Presidential fold' made a comeback. But the 'four-peaks' still belongs on an episode of Mad Men.

[Hortensis]

4. Sounds like opponents' have been handed a great sound bite and theme.

I'd like a series of ads on methods to kill "undying" support before it kills us, but probably not. Otoh, we are living in the era of reality satire.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. It is more like undying love.

Such an ample ass to kiss....

[lame54]

11. Like signing a birthday card...

Hard to find a spot not already kissed

Lucky for Van Drew the "card" is oversized

[hatrack]

24. He'll have to get in line . . .

.

[empedocles]

6. Let us hope that we get a Dem who can win, and does win.

[Maven]

8. Another blackmail victim, I suspect. nt

[lame54]

10. He is overturning the will of the voters

[FiveGoodMen]

16. IOKIYAR

[RockRaven]

13. Those two clips together can be used in a brutal campaign ad by either/both a D or R opponent.

That was a really, really dumb thing to say and then deny saying, no matter how you slice it.

[wishstar]

14. He rivals Carter Page in his inscrutable nuttery

His wardrobe alone is quite eccentric

[ChubbyStar]

15. The cheap gold braclet and gaudy cufflinks didn't impress?

The four KKK members in his pocket are quite dapper!

[SunSeeker]

20. LOL. Yup. KKK meeting in his pocket. And looks like he stole Trump's red tie.

[Caliman73]

17. Does anyone remember that show "Cheaters"

It was a sleazy "guilty pleasure" type of show to watch. Anyway, the "investigators" would set up cameras to catch the cheater and confront them showing them the video.

This is what reporters should do with Republicans because they all run around like unfaithful spouses/partners. "honey I would never go out with that girl, I don't even like her.."

The reporter should have had the statement lined up on a cell phone and said, "This is you correct, sitting with Trump? Okay here, listen....See how you said "undying support"? So then is that your position? Trump has your undying support?"

[SunSeeker]

18. He's never washing away that stink.

He let himself be used by a traitor, which makes him a traitor as well.

[Initech]

19. Let me play a sad song for you on the world's smallest violin.

[Raftergirl]

21. I hope he enjoys being in the minority

until his district votes him the fuck outa there.

[bdamomma]

23. did he kiss his ri.../ass.

[Takket]

25. if there is one thing voters love.......

it is candidates that have no clue where they stand on anything and can't deliver a clear and concise opinion. He'll do great in 2020's election.

[in2herbs]

26. To me he looks a lot like Ambassador Kurt Volker. nt

[Xipe Totec]

27. Undying support suffers quick death. nt

[Baked Potato]

28. Trump is thinking... you slimy little punk... I really like you...

[SWBTATTReg]

29. Voters should recall him from office and replace him w/ their chosen candidate. After all, they ...

voted in a democratically inclined candidate who in turn changes into a republican? Without voter approval too. Sounds fishy to me...what is this guy, running undercover as a hidden republican (in name only democrat) so he could be elected.

[BannonsLiver]

30. I want this fuckers seat in 2020

He must be crushed, destroyed and humiliated.

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. If he wants back in, do we have to take him?

[magicarpet]

32. There is money to be plundered,...

Van Drew wants a piece of that action.

[Cattledog]

33. Is his staff sticking with him?

[Laelth]

35. No. The majority of his staff resigned before he officially announced the switch. n/t

-Laelth

[not fooled]

34. He said it while overcome

and in a swoon when in the presence of the Great Orange Anus. Apparently causes hallucinations in the weak-minded.

37. womp, womp ...
