Trenton NJ, NJ Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-2) released the audio of a death threat Ocean City columnist John McCall, a longtime member of the New Jersey Press Association, recently left on his home phone while he was in Washington and blasted the Ocean City Sentinel for publishing columns, before and after, in which McCall insinuates 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. “When I was asked to run for office a long time ago, I did it to make sure my neighbors always had someone looking out for them, whether I was representing them at town hall, in Trenton or now Washington. 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.”
Van Drew was joined by Cape May County Sheriff Bob Nolan who underscored the seriousness of threats like these.
“As Sheriff it is my sworn duty to ensure the safety of everyone who lives in, works in, or visits Cape May County,” added Nolan. “Congressman Van Drew didn’t offer himself or his family up for public service to be a target of threats or violence by anyone, let alone a newspaper columnist. The Cape May County Sheriff’s Office takes all threats seriously and political violence of any kind will not be tolerated.”
Ocean City columnist John McCall apparently has “Democrat Immunity” so far .
Democrats are parasites
I’m going to donate big $$$ to Jeff VanDrew now, demorats are lowlifes and traitors, they started the secession process when they declared themselves sanctuary states and cities, thank god I moved my business out of NJ 7yrs ago
I for one, believe this so called man, John McCall should already be in jail. The paper should be shut down, editors be fired for allowing these threats to be printed in the first place. It’s disgusting, what was heard on tape and what had been printed.
DISGUSTING, fire this man or we will.
Ocean City Sentinel you are through.
You notice that you cannot find a photo of John McCall anywhere. I always like to see what lunatics look like.
To be a modern Democrat means to be a raging narcissist.
That’s really the only way to accurately describe this organized crime syndicate. My life’s biggest regret is that for many years I supported this so called political party.

Why has John McCall not yet been arrested?
How can a political party that supposedly despises hate messages, threats, and violence do the very things they speak against. Never has such hypocrisy been so evident.
To be a Democrat is to be a liar, about self-service and above all, EVIL!
It’s people like John McCall keeping our country divided and spreading hate.
At the very minimum the New Jersey Press Association Should revoke his membership and any benefit he has with that.
Shame on you John McCall.
When certain politicos started talking about banning “Hate Speech” , I could see where this was going. What constitutes “HATE SPEECH” depends on who is doing the defining. It works both ways: ‘what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.’
John McCall is a pathetic liar & coward, like many of the current generation of “journalists”.
Step forward John McCall , let’s see what you have to say when you are not hiding behind your ‘by line’.
It is the time for the American Patriots and people to take things into hand.
It is very obvious our courts are not. And the majority of the politicians we have elected on our behalf have sold out to corruption or threats. Or in the case of the Supreme Court they in all probability also recently received threats to themselves and their families.
And yes. McCall and the majority of the Socialist Democratic Party and others representing our USA need to be arrested. Or at least removed from office! McCall needs both. And if I was the Congressman he would be sued for several million dollars due to duress and threats against my family as well as the News Paper or worse? May the wrath of God be on a scumbags like him!
He should be terminated immediately as well as the Editor who allowed the print.
