By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow May 22 at 4:33 PM The wealthy DeVos family said through a spokesman Wednesday it was cutting off financial support for Rep. Justin Amash , the fifth-term congressman who this week called President Trump’s behavior “impeachable.”
“Family members have expressed increasing concerns about a lack of representation for their district, the Third Congressional, and I would say an inability to advance efforts connected to important policy matters,” he said.Throughout Trump’s presidency, Amash has consistently spoken out against him and his policies. On Saturday, Amash shared on Twitter his thoughts about special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigative findings, and concluded that Attorney General William P.
DeVos family members are megadonors to the Republican Party. Amash, who was not at risk of losing his seat, received $16,200 from them in 2018. They also gave $1 million to the Freedom Partners Action Fund, a super PAC aligned with Amash’s ideology. Amash was a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, though he has fractured from the group over his public critiques of Trump.
Oh. So that's the Prince/Devos deal ... Support Trump or Do not Pass GO, do not collect 2 million in Russian GoP Funding, and find a 50 Cal. Bullet in your pillow ...
What an amazing coincidence.
That’s an endorsement
If they don't agree with what he has to say, then they have every right to pull funding...its a free damn country!
So predictable.
It seems Trump let the dogs out....using his rich buds for revenge.
benFranklin2018 Nothin' to do with nothin'!
You can't speak against the leader of the party, or the party will turn against you, while claiming it is all about freedom...
So, he got his soul back. Who knew?
Don’t you just hate it when a pol takes your money and still refuses to do your bidding?
Fine, let a Dem take the seat.
He probably doesn’t want your dirty money anyway.
DeVos is a piece of shot
Next....
Now they are going to try and ruin his reputation for expressing his rights as an American. Hopefully Rep. Amash won’t fall for their hateful attacks . Rep. Amash stand for your Country and our Democracy. 🇺🇸
Big deal! It’s men like him, like the guys from the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s etc. these guys were really strong & free. They might not have had a lot, but they had truth & love of America. Unlike those other elected republican’s today.
turn blue.
snw106 It's long past time that we end tax payer's financial support for Eric Prince and Betsy DeVos.
So these millionaires who made their money by building a pyramid scheme , Amway , can buy and sell politicians , just like the yachts Betsy DeVos owns ! Does anyone realize why the graduation class turned there backs on her .
Ending the play 4 play
Financial Support ?
yeah, right; i'm sure he thought about that before he said what he said....
I would say that’s a plus
So corrupt. Let’s discuss the plutocrat money to politicians/politicians giving taxpayer money to plutocrats fraud cycle. Now that’s a story Bezos would shut down.
America to the DeVos family:
And they should he is a Democrat acting like a republican
Excellent!
And Amash says...
Ummm...whut?
Great news! Follow the $ & his business interests in China. That will tell the story. He does not care about Michigan or our great Country! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good
Where's my checkbook? He's the only Republican in the entire Congress with balls.
You're better off kid. No worries.
Extortion, bribery, quid pro quo deals involving money - the GOP election toolkit.
Amway?
'Family members have expressed increasing concerns about a lack of representation for their district, the Third Congressional...' Newsflash to the DeVos cartel: It's not just YOUR district. - a resident of MI- 03
Better for him. He needs to distance himself from all those Trump's the Con accomplice in crime.
is the rest of the family is as stupid as betsy?
$24,300... that’s it? You make it sound as if they bankrolled justinamash
Or.....Dark money comes into the light.
justinamash should tell the slimy, greedy, charlatan Devos family to stick their money where the sun doesn't shine.
I'm sure he's crushed.
Whomp whomp...
Take money out of politics. Cause money shouldn't drive morals.
Poor Amash. I'm sure leftist dopes will now support him!
So smalldonors step up!!
Oh no, I’m sure he can find plenty of money that isn’t tied to those turds JustinAmash
Is her family a corporation or are they limited to what they can give, like normal people?
now that's transparency
Shed them with pride Justin!
Thanks Supreme Court for helping to destroy America. Citizens United is one of your worst decisions. History, if the Republic (as we know it) survives, will show it to be a very partisan decision that gave Fascism a helping hand.
justinamash Continue to Be Best and ...
Seems a dumb thing to lie about. Then again, they continue to support a guy who tells dumb lies all the time, so, birds of a feather I guess.
Democracy dies when u can purchase your representative.
Consider yourself lucky Rep Amash. You don’t want anything to do with the DeVos Family. They’re right up there with the Corleones.
Of course they are. Can’t have any morals and values
The cheese stands alone.
Great, can I vote for him from CA?
BetsyDeVosED should resign and continue working her pyramid scheme Amway
Good to know the DeVos family doesn't know what integrity is when it's in plain sight; they support the Criminal-in-Chief.
yeah...does anyone actually believe that it's not 100% about him actually going 'hey, this stuff is wrong, we need to do something?'
Oh, that’s too bad 😇
No more bribe, corruption, and quid pro quo money for him?👇😂
DeVos support only those they own - those they have bought and paid for and who are willing to betray their country - not much different from Russian mobsters supporting trump and trump betraying American for his own personal profit
'Devos Crime Family ends support for Rep. Amash' There. Fixed it for ya.
Wait, the family of the current education secretary is financing politicians?!
Because they're horrible Americans.
DeVos is a liability, he just got catapulted nationally in name recognition for doing exactly what he is being paid to do. This isn’t a downside.
Well of course they did. You go against the orange monster and well republicans drop you like a hot potato. Looking more and more like Hitler's rise in Germany.
I'm a Dem and I'll contribute to his campaign before any Dem that supports impeachment delay. We all know who they are!
He got out of pocket, literally
A founding member of Freedom Caucus had a sugar daddy. Why am I not surprised? How many other CongressCritters have those?
Because only Amash has the cojones not to buckle to Trump
Now is the time for supporters in his district to show him that it’s better when you work for all of the people instead of a few of the people with money.
- Judge says Trump-related Mazars Accounting firm Subpoena is legal - Judge says Trump-related Capital One & Deutsche Bank subpoenas are legal - IRS Memo says turning over Trump Tax returns are warranted -Tillerson snuck in to speak to Congress WINNING
No more Amway deals! Good riddance!
These people all deserve each other
Of course. 👀 🇨🇦
He’s done. Toast.
I sure he’s crying NOT
So the cabinet members are bribing the people that oversee them?
Showing just what the Devos family stands for. They attack a rep for seeking the truth. This reveals the Republican Party in all its shame.
DeVos=Fair-Weather Friends.
I stand with you congressman amash. Just donated to your 2030 campaign. Thank you for your courageous action putting the people above party. You are a true patriot.
Shocker
Good, that's an act of legit courage.
Nothing new about this..... DeVos family only supports Repulsives without spines!
This is a positive.
So is CHINA FakeNews
We don’t need special interest money in politics. Rep. Amash with be fine. He’s standing for what’s right.
He didnt need their dirty money anyway.
Yeah, right.
democrats, let’s give some money to this man
Good! He's a despicable human being
excellent I am all for getting money out of politics
Of course
