Even by rough and tumble New Jersey political standards — the following inflammatory political rhetoric has crossed way over the line.

United States Congressman Donald Norcross, D-NJ-1 — Compared Congressman Jeff Van Drew, R-NJ-2 To Adolf Hitler

Norcross made this outrageous comparison on Saturday, October 24, 2026 during a Democratic campaign rally in Gloucester County.

Norcross was speaking before about 200 campaign supporters, when he mocked Van Drew's hairstyle, saying that it resembled Hitler's, and he compared Van Drew’s pocket handkerchief to Ku Klux Klan hoods (See example directly below).

Norcross Has Promptly Apologized To Van Drew

The Norcross slurs quickly overshadowed his campaign event — raising legitimate questions about the heightening, hyper-negative nature of politics in America, today.

I have confirmed that Norcross has telephoned Van Drew and apologized, whereby he acknowledged that his comments went too far.

Van Drew Has Accepted Norcross’ Apology

I telephone Van Drew yesterday and directly asked him if he has accepted Norcross’ apology.

Van Drew Told me:

Yes. I am a Catholic and a Christian. It’s the only right thing to do, said Van Drew.

When I pressed Van Drew how it felt being on the receiving end of these slurs — Van Drew expressed profound disappointment, describing the comments as “inappropriate for a member of Congress.”
