Van Drew to Newsmax: People Crave Safety

April 17, 2023 — Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Monday on Newsmax, defended the House Judiciary Committee’s “field hearing” in New York City, citing a “basic fundamental need” for people to feel safe in their communities.

Appearing on Newsmax’s “John Bachman Now,” Van Drew, a hearing panel member, said that everyone is living in “a bizarre world where good people are punished and bad people are rewarded.”

“It is a basic, fundamental need — you want to be safe, you want your children to be safe, your mom, your dad, your grandparents, your families,” he said. “And the worst feeling of all is to actually exit your front door and go on to the street and feel that you’re going to be attacked, hurt, or harmed in some way.”
