NJ Congressman Jeff Van Drew getting death threats against him and his family from a member of the New Jersey Press? Certainly sounds like it.
Listen to this voice mail left by an Ocean City columnist John McCall, a longtime member of the New Jersey Press Association:Message left on Van Drew’s Voice Mail
Receiving Death Threats from Local Media Member is Despicable and Has No Place in Our Society
From Vineland Vineland Daily Journal: In a March 10 Ocean City Sentinel column, McCall states about Van Drew, “And as a traitor, he has forfeit this right to protection under the law. Know this V.D.: It doesn’t stop here. … God save you.”
McCall also recently wrote speculatively about sexually assaulting the congressman’s wife and storming his house to “violate his family.”
David Nahan, editor and publisher of the Ocean City Sentinel knew the guest column was vitriolic. Nahan didn’t think it contained any threats of harm.
From AXIOS: A majority of people around the world believe that journalists, government leaders and business leaders are all purposely trying to mislead people by spreading misinformation.
US Congressman Jeff Van Drew shared voice mail audio of a death threat made by Ocean City columnist John McCall, a longtime member of the New Jersey Press Association
From INSIDERNJ.com: McCall insinuates that Van Drew should be executed for treason, vividly describes invading and destroying his home, and graphically ponders what it would be like to sexually assault his wife over the hood of her car.
“For far too long calls for violence have gone unchallenged, but today, right here in Cape May County we are drawing a line in the sand. You can come after me with loud words and threats, but if anyone, let alone a member of the Press, thinks they can threaten my wife and my family they’ve got another thing coming,” said Van Drew.
Van Drew: “I am calling on the New Jersey Press Association and the Ocean City Sentinel to forcefully denounce and condemn the threats McCall made against me and my family, to immediately retract his hate-filled editorials, and issue a public apology to my family – until then any and all legal options remain on the table.”
The Cape May County Sheriff’s Office takes all threats seriously and political violence of any kind will not be tolerated.
Audio of Voicemail from John McCall. Feb 28, 2020:
Columnist John McCall: “I would swear to your demise as a politician and I believe that you personally are a degenerate. As a member of the New Jersey Press Association, I will do everything in my power to ensure that you are deposed if not DEAD. Anything I can do to basically get you out of office, I will do. You are a TRAITOR Jeff Van Drew and you deserve the fate of all TRAITORS.”
Columnist John McCall: If I was a cop, I’d tell Van Drew to go hang.”“Van Drew’s mentor has said it’s cool to greet women by grabbing them between the legs. Should we test the acceptability of this remark and get the direct response of a prominent GOP female by greeting Van Drew’s wife with the Republican high-five, lifting her over the hood of her car and objectively recording her physical reaction to the tickle when she lands?”
Columnist John McCall: “Now mini-Trump whimpers when loyal Americans shoot back, disclose his lies, and hold him accountable for his hate-mongering treason. And as a traitor, he has forfeit his right to protection under the law. Know this V.D.: It doesn’t stop here… God save you.”

Ocean City Sentinel: Hold Trump Loyalist Officials Accountable (January 13, 2021)
Columnist John McCall: Like all Trump loyalists, Van Drew and DeVlieger are guilty of subverting the peaceful and equitable functioning of our government. This is treason. And the penalty for treason is execution. That applies to the great and the small, to presidents, congressmen and small town councilmen.
Columnist John McCall: Should conscientious critics take a cue from the armed Republican rioters, storm his house, smash everything, violate his family, and walk away laughing? Would that be silly?”
Columnist John McCall: As democratic defenders of the Republic, facing enemies with no respect for our electoral process or the truth, we are forced to ponder Thomas Jefferson’s grim directive that, for the good of our nation, the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and traitors.”

This audio tape proves, once again, that the real degenerates are the democrats, the liberal press, and the leftist comunists of America.
Hardly. It simply proves McCall is an idiot. And painting everyone with certain political beliefs (of any type) with the same brush as you have done is as foolish and absurd as McCall’s column.
Perhaps if you’re going to make rash generalizations like you did, change your name to something more applicable than “Truth”. I’d suggest Exaggeration, Hyperbole, or Opinion as alternatives.
You would, comrade.
Thanks for further proving my point. So now anyone who disagrees with you (or more correctly, the extreme and exaggerated generalizations in your comments) is a degenerate, AND a communist… you’re just embarrassing. Please don’t pollute the gene pool further by breeding.
Blanket statements never win points or tend to be true, however, with the direction this country has taken given that Dems now dominate both House and Senate, your statement does ring with a bit of truth. The greatest travesty is their open-border policy. The government won’t even allow any journalists or photographers near the border: https://www.theepochtimes.com/white-house-giving-journalists-zero-access-to-border-patrol-operations-photographer_3742722.html – Total hypocrisy while the fencing around the Capitol and NGs. Forget transparency with Dems because they want the public to remain lost in the lies through their control of mainstream media.
McCall should get a body guard for Van Drew, if anything happens to him or his family his the first one they will come after.

Though death threats are not appropriate, I don’t feel sorry for VanDrew. He disappointed his constituents by switching parties. What does he expect? He needs to leave.
A prime example of how a member of the press will attempt to manipulate their position onto others and hide behind the cover of their position and then take the position that they report the news without bias.
Coming from an opportunist and immature bully. Totally irresponsible of anyone to publish this kind of bias of ill-repute. I so miss the days of true journalism and unbiased reporting that left the opinions up to their readership. This kind of trash should NEVER be published IF the publication expects to maintain any kind of credentials with the public. Their subscriptions should take a dive, never to recover. If not, then there’s not much hope for a majority who would buy into that kind of depravity. Just sayin’
