Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., commended the swift response of the Atlantic City Coast Guard and other first responders to the Tuesday bridge collapse in Baltimore Harbor.
"There is a time consideration here. We should move as quickly but also thoroughly and efficiently as possible," Van Drew said on Newsmax's "American Agenda" on Thursday. "We're going to be changing from a recovery position to one of a salvage position. We also want to open up the Baltimore Harbor as quickly as we can."
"Let's understand something. This is in the top 10 in the country," he said. "Heavy machinery comes through here. Automobiles, coal, and a lot of important products that we either ship or ship out or come into the United States.""Here is where bad policy hurt you, by the way," he said.
He praised the dedication of the men and women in service, including those from his district in Atlantic City.
