InsiderNJ is out with a report this morning that former congressional candidate in CD2 Bob Turkavage is leaving the Republican party. According to the report:

Robert “Turk” Turkavage, the retired special agent with the FBI who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in the 2nd District in 2018 as an anti-Trump Republican, this morning said he’s done with the GOP, driven from the party by the President.

Good! Get out! Leave! Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.

Turkavage is a chronic whiner who blames his problems on others. Remember when he tried to blame Cumberland County Chairman (and now state Senator too) Michael Testa for his own failure to file paperwork on time? I defended Testa and a radio show host on another station had to apologize to Testa for believing Turkavage’s story.

When defending Testa I wrote about Turkavage having a history of not filing paperwork on time:

It is and always has been the candidate’s responsibility to make certain all necessary forms are filed appropriately and on time. It was the Turkavage campaign’s responsibility to file and his campaign should have been in constant communication with Testa to be certain things were moving along as they should. On top of that, this wasn’t the first time Turkavege didn’t file paperwork on time. He was going to run for U.S. Senate in 2014 but didn’t file his paperwork because of traffic problems. My point? Turkavage already had a history of screwing up when it came to filing paperwork on time, and like the first time, he refused to accept responsibility. Testa did things properly.

Bob Turkavage whined as a congressional candidate and has cried since dropping out of that race. He refused to follow the lead of former Assemblyman Sam Fiocchi and Brian Fitzherbert and do the right thing last year and back the primary election winner in CD2, Seth Grossman, over Jeff Van Drew. Instead, Turkavage called on Grossman to drop out.

I’m happy to see you leave Turk, you’ll fit in well with all the other snowflakes on the left side of the aisle.
