Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) on Tuesday dismissed some Democrats’ call to unseat him and other Republican representatives from Congress because they supported the Texas lawsuit challenging the election results in four key states.

Democrat Rep. Bill Pascrell of the 9th Congressional District is also the former mayor of Paterson where, just last month, they held a judicially-ordered redo municipal election, and one of the winning candidates is facing criminal charges. Unchastened by what’s going on in his own backyard, Pascrell penned a letter to his long-time friend Nancy Pelosi on December 11th asking the speaker to bar the Republican congressmen.
