Republican Rep. Justin Amash, hosting a town hall meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was blasted by a Trump supporter over his unfounded comments that the President should be impeached.
Amash published a Twitter thread days ago, coming to various conclusions on the Russia collusion investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, chief among them that “Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.”
In doing so, the former Tea Party star and current attention seeker claimed Trump’s ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ were “violat[ing] the public trust.”
One woman, wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat, didn’t take kindly to Amash lowering a bar already far-exceeded by previous presidents just to take down Trump.
“You talk about the Constitution and how important that is, but yet nothing that Mueller came out with in this report, nothing that has been said about him and President Trump is constitutional and has been a smear tactic because that’s how the Democrats work,” she argued with Amash.

She then asked the same question on everybody’s mind: “How can you become a Democrat when we voted for you as a Republican because you’ve just drank the same Kool-Aid as all the Democrats.”
Amash Battles Back
Amash countered by saying he has “one of the most constitutionally conservative and fiscally conservative” voting records in Congress.
The Michigan Representative, however, sided with Democrats earlier this year by claiming the President’s national emergency declaration to secure funding for the border wall was unconstitutional.
In March, he bizarrely voted with the opposition party in support of allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote.

Amash then added a bit of projection, accusing the woman of not “hav[ing] stated any facts.”

That is an interesting accusation when: A) You falsely claim the Mueller report yields evidence of impeachable conduct and B) Then state an easily proven lie.
Amash took a shot at Kevin McCarthy, who blasted him for seeking attention and siding with Nancy Pelosi rather frequently, by alleging the House Minority Leader hadn’t read the full Mueller report.
“You saw what happened to me from our so-called leader, Kevin McCarthy. I read the Mueller report, I’m sure he did not read it,” Amash said without evidence.
CNN reported on May 10th that McCarthy was one of five Republicans who had seen the report.
Amash sounds more like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez when it becomes apparent that facts don’t matter, but perceived morals do.

It’s about time we question and fight back . I am sick to death of biting my tongue. Everyone gets a voice but us.. 2020 we have got to make the noise. We are allowed to speak too. I will be saying what needs to be said. Vote all dems out and any Republican that will not support the president of the usa. They supported that insane Obama they can just do the same for our president. Vote this joker out these people are trying to over throw the government. Stop them by getting them OUT
The liar is a Muslim businessman who owns a U.S. company that gets its supplies from China, who owns a business in China, and who hypocritically ran as a Republican when he was really a Democrat. He lacked even the spine to run as a Muslim. It makes me sick to know that the people who elected him live a few hundred miles north of me in Michigan.
I won’t live long enough to help defend against them when they come south to kill us in our own homes.
Amash! what an insult to humanity. I still wonder why the sudden turn-around with him. What was promised to him by the Dims, what kind of threats held against him? Just doesn’t make much sense to me. Still a lying POS move on his part.
Michigan Residents are clearly being out maneuvered by the Muslim Population. Liberal minded fools who hold office are running the state of Michigan into the ground. Those who hate Trump, hate themselves even more because they would rather support the very people who choose to destroy the great State of Michigan from within.
Lets hope that this guy meets Waterloo next election cycle. He should be working in MALT SHOP where he can do very little damage to this country. This guy is a modern day Benedict Arnold!
just another spineless rino eunuch… smooth as a “ken doll” but not as masculine or bright…
She sounds like an ignorant, old bat who refuses to believe the truth when it’s presented to her. Ah well, that just keeps her in the company of all of the other spineless, hypocritical, shameless sycophants who polish Trump’s shoes, and other items and places. Amash is going to look like a hero compared to the cowards who keep enabling the big, orange joke.
I’m embarrassed to say that he’s my congressman. I will push hard to support a primary challenge against him.
Amash is in MICHIGAN. He’s playing to the ever growing liberal crowd to get re-elected. A typical politician that “plays” the people. He’s a hypocrite, like most of the jerks in D.C. that only cares for himself. A liar, a manipulator, a “give them what they want to hear” A**HOLE. The conservative folks in Michigan……..if not already outnumbered with loonies and Muslims……need to get together and elect a candidate that they can at least HOPE will care enough about THEM as they do him or herself.
freaking RINO, make sure you don’t vote for him
primary this loser and elect a Real republican!
Another closet lib coming out.
Deport Amash back to Palestine.
Why does he not just change parties, and get it over with??? We do not need him in our Party. It is time these damn RHINO’s make a Decision on what party they want to Represent. The Democrats always back that Communist Obama, no matter what he did. Its time the Republican Party gets behind Trump and blast the Democratic Party.
Amash is pissed, he’s loosing money from his businesses in China because of the Tariffs President Trump imposed on China.
This is a Black publication. Are THEY racist?
That’s like what you dems say about blacks when they are leaving the plantation of the Democrats who actually started the KKK in the first place. Talk about being racist… how dare you nuts belittle black people who actually can think for themselves and choose to leave the party (dems aka…KKK party) of brainwashed dumbasses!
Yeah…
How DARE Rep Amash stray from the Trump/GOP plantation…..
Just another POS RINO that needs to be GONE in 2020 one way or a tother…
We the people need to pay more attention when we vote next time
“…current attention seeker…”
That says it all. He’s a RINO, and needs to be voted out next election cycle, or there needs to be a recall by the constituents. What is it with the radical, anti-Constitution reps from his state…and others?
Amash isn’t very bright. Talk about political suicide. She’s right. He was voted in a Republican and he is not acting like one. He’ll have a primary challenger next election.
Not all Tea Party People are real Tea Party, The Tea Party was infiltrated by the Left long ago ,right after it was seen as a way to fight against the Left. It is almost the same as the Republican Elite and the Democrats!
What Amash has done is becoming the norm…in many Republican states across the country. Democrats run as Republicans, get elected, and then vote with the democrats on key issues.
After both the 2016 and 2018 elections…in total…Republicans in 7 states changed parties within weeks of the election… This should be illegal…as the voters had their votes stolen from them… If it is important to a voter to vote within your party, then these people and their lies have stolen your vote.
Amash is one of these people… He was elected to represent Conservative values…yet time after time he voted with the democrats…against the wishes of his constituents.
We must really vet those whom we vote for…because the democrats are now wolves in sheep clothing…
Just another dishonest politician worried about 2020 reelection
He is a FOOL ! The U.S. Supreme Court decides if an action is Constitutional. End of story !
I guess he never read the 15th Amendment to the US Constitution… I wonder if that would invalidate any election held in a “sanctuary” city or state; hhuuummmm.
Illegals voting in American elections? He thinks THAT is Constitutional?????
Most of us could.
Would love to see him try to debate president Trump…Trump would chew him up and spit him out like the worthless piece of used up chewing gum he is
Democrats and RINO’s are desperately circling the corrupt Deep State communists. We must defeat these dictators or the country is lost forever.
The Democrats already have their NOBODY’S Out there running for President and I don’t think that I could vote for any of them for anything!
GreenCupcake, I agree with you that Amash is just more Swap Material. However, I wouldn’t ignore him, he’s a RINO and in being a RINO he’s dangerous to our Country. Vote him out of Office and keep voting him down on any Office he ever tries to obtain again. That’s the only way to deal with these types of people
He is just more Swamp Material, ignore him!
Speculation on talk radio this morning is that he’s planning to run for the Republican nomination for president….so he’s out there now getting attention since he’s a nobody.
Free stuff or the hope of MORE free stuff is what is driving the socialists and communists (a/k/a “democrats”).
Amen to that!
Hooray for her for confronting him. People better start waking up and realizing what is happening in our Country today!!!!
He will lose as a RINO….All Trump has to do at a rally is blast his name as the fraud that he is, and his political career is toast…..
Just watch when he runs for reelection he will run as a demorat.
