Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., told Newsmax on Wednesday that President Joe Biden's comment about having more important things to do than visit the U.S.-Mexico border during a trip to Arizona was "horrific."
Before departing the White House on Tuesday to visit a Taiwanese semiconductor fabrication plant being built in Phoenix, Biden was asked by a reporter if he's going to Arizona, why not visit the border?
"Because there's a more important thing going on," Biden said, according to a White House transcript.
"Don't ask me to figure this guy out," Van Drew said on "American Agenda." "But the one thing that I will tell you, that's just horrific. For all the border patrols that could really use seeing their president of the United States being there, reassuring them that he appreciates the work that they're doing just to really know firsthand what's been going on.
"I've been there. Many members of Congress have been there."
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have not visited the U.S.-Mexico border since they were elected. Van Drew, who switched parties in 2019 after opposing Democrats' efforts to impeach former President Donald Trump, said Biden's comment sends the wrong message to states such as Arizona and Texas.
It's almost as if the Democratic Party prefers a shadow government operating in back channels to a transparent government that has secure elections they don't try to steal with censorship and misinformation.

And there is no crime
Bigot
