I surely hope that he will, and I surely invite him to come into our party. I really believe he would be happier in the Republican Party,\u201d Van Drew said when asked if he thinks Manchin would swap to the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has happened to Joe Manchin is in some ways similar to what happened to me,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou know, I wouldn\u2019t vote for impeachment, and I was beaten up by leadership in Washington, leadership back in the district. In fact, the last thing that was said to me, I\u2019ll never forget it, is, \u2018You will obey.\u2019 And I was threatened. Just like Joe Manchin\u2019s West Virginia, well, I\u2019m from New Jersey. And let me tell you, you don\u2019t say that. You don\u2019t tell people from Jersey they\u2019re going to obey. And, of course, the rest was history. By the way, a really interesting factoid, two years to the day that Joe Manchin made his decision, a good decision, not to vote for this bill is two years to the day is when I was in the oval office with President Trump and made my decision that I was going to leave the party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday on Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cAmerica\u2019s Newsroom,\u201d Rep.
