The House Freedom Caucus on Monday night formally condemned one of its founding members for declaring that President Trump committed impeachable offenses, but stopped short of kicking Rep. Justin Amash out of the hard-line conservative group.
By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO. You can unsubscribe at any time. Some lawmakers even complained during the private meeting that he still technically belongs to the group — and has been cited as a Freedom Caucus member in the press — despite not showing up for meetings nearly the entire year, according to sources.
And they can go blow. Their ideas of freedom would make slaves of minorities and women then any who disagree with their antique hidebound racism and misogyny
How dare you speak the truth and risk the grand plan.
Base on ?
The truth will set you free!
In a democracy to condemn anyone...agree or disagree...for speaking her mind is outrageous.
Repubes are straight up serious aholes
“Amash will get the last laugh when all said and done”
Live by the sword, die by...etc
But Steve king is still good and Ohio state coach who knew about sexual misconduct by team dr is ok
God forbid the party has a Republican who is an independent thinker...horrors!
Because the freedom caucus is just a bunch of unprincipled racist assholes who turn a blind eye to sexual abuse. But it's cool, because Obama wore a tan suit or some shit.
Big Deal.....Jim Jordan is a nothing burger to me. Read the feedback Amash is getting in his own District.
What a great honor for Justin Amash
Of course they did. He's the only one who read the report. Pathetic.
I formally condemn the House Freedom Caucus for not recognizing Trump's many obstruction of justice actions and starting the impeachment process.
The Freedom Caucus are a bunch of extremists.
They have zero integrity.
Shame on the House Freedom Caucus.
who cares what they say
House freedom caucus is big Trumpe r joke. All should lose next year.
So much their understanding the rule of law and the constitution.
freedomcaucus -who cares
They’re the worst of American society.
Only if trump were democrat would republicans even care
Apparently their definition of “freedom” means people doing only what the GOP want and support. They define what is acceptable and anyone who disagrees loses their support. That IS NOT FREEDOM.
You either stand with the GOP or you stand for truth and justice. GOP may not approve of Amash but the American People think he is one of a few good men.
I am sure he is still laughing because that is funny as hell!
House Freedom Caucus...House Freedom? That title is a joke, right? .
HE condemned himself.
How come GOP is going after a fellow Republican for following the Constitution? Didn't these Republican *SSH*L*S pledged to defend the Constitution? Their allegiance is out of whack!!! Will support justinamash against the *ssh*l* Republicans.
I guess their Freedoms don’t include Freedom of Speech.
You mean
“Freedom” caucus
And OSU should formally condemn Gym Jordan for his stance on molestation of student athletes.
What Freedoms are they named for? I'm trying to think of one they really stand for, and I can't.
hardesty96 Of course they did swines
Punks
Amash should wear this as a badge of honor, except that he once held himself out as a member of this right wing fanatic caucus.
wandainparis You are not free to speak your mind! Sheesh. FreedomCaucus SCAM
If i were him i'd b pleased! No one should want support from those who disrespect law, the Constitution, and government.
Freedom Caucus my ass.
Why?
What does this even mean? He doesn’t get a Christmas card this year?
realDonaldTrump Trump has stained and soiled the White House with his stench of lawlessness and disrespect for our country. CNN joncoopertweets
Next they will burn him at the stake. Fact is he was right and they are all too spineless to stand behind him.
Bravo Congressman stand firm you are on the right side of history.
Shameful! Here are not only cowards but elected office who could not have read the 2nd volume and condemned Amash! They are not the freedom Caucasus they are the cheer leaders for Trump no matter how many crimes he commits!
In 2020, Americans will condemn the Republican Party, the Freedom Caucus and Tea Party by thowing these bums out of office.
They should spend their time instead reading the Mueller report and upholding their oaths
These people are the Nazi’s of our time. For you who wish to live in a democracy stay far away from these very dangerous people
'We have no king but Caesar.'
Jim_Jordan’s group condemns fellow rep for taking a stand for America while saying nothing about Jim_Jordan role in sexual abuse while at OSU. Resign Jim_Jordan. You were a designated reporter who remained silent. Hopefully you’ll be named in lawsuit.
They just cannot have the truth come out
That is total Republican BS. Every Congressman or woman has the right to express their views without fear of condemnation and Twitter abuse directed at them.
Of course the GOP does, they are nothing more than Trumps yes men. How very sad that these men and women put party first and not the country
Total BS
Amash is a Palestinian Hamas terrorists!
So he is not free to examine the document, do research and analysis, and come up with an opinion based in facts? So much for “freedom”
Well that shows he's on the right track.
The Cover-Up Caucus that is what they are.
HouseGOP ”you don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job...if your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role....Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.' LindseyGrahamSC
Apparently in the Freedom Caucus you’re not free to put country ahead of party or president. Now that’s freedom!
THE LAST THING WE WANT TO HEAR FROM ANY DUMB REPUBLICAN ABOUT IMPEACHMENT AFTER KNOWING ALL THE TRUTH WE KNOW SINCE LAST 2-1/2.
Can't go against them without feeling scorned!
A Republican w balls 👏
justinamash should formally condemn the freedomcaucus for aiding and abetting the criminal regime in the WH. On ntnl TV. CNN maddow NPR
Please, PLEASE keep this story at the top of the news cycle for as long as possible, Republicans.
Disagreeing with Jim Jordan is an HONOR. Thank you, Justin Amash
freedumbcockus
The House Freedom Caucus is an oxymoron
Politico-you consider this news? What else would you expect from the group think Russia funded GOP?
Maybe AOC Amash coalition can accomplish something... anything. No one else is. Just tiring election politics. Business as usual.
Dammm Shame to condemn the only one of them that actually has some morality...
They don’t do their title or their country much if they are condemning him for standing up for his country
Republicans want to condemn the only man that has told the truth in your party. You're a disgusting group of people Ed McConnell heads it
Orwellian move from the “Freedom Caucus”
Cowards
That's cuz they haven't read the report. Duh
You mean House Treason Caucus?
Ok think about it. Can you see any member of the 'Peanut Butter Sandwiches For Lunch Only Forever' club ever ever ever being best friends with one of kids in 6th grade who started bringing 'Welch's Grape Jelly Only' sandwiches to lunch? I don't think so. It's super serious.
Amash is wrong on this. Over 63 Million Americans voted for President Trump and attempts at a Coup, at Impeaching Trump-- are only motivating them MORE, to vote and contribute to Trumps' campaign.
Sooooooo the “freedom caucus” condemned a guy for exercising his right to free speech Did I get that right?
Maybe they should remove the Freedom from their title as I do think we have freedom of speech but apparently that only means if you go along with the Trump puppet brigade.
The guy have balls.
Who cares?
Queen_CounTessa So members of the Freedom Caucus do not have the freedom to think for themselves
I think the Dems are encouraging him to get his name out there in order to run as a libertarian against Trump. ANYTHING to thwart Trump!
Who gives a shit? They’ve been formally condemned for a decade and they’re still kicking.
The house freedom caucus is a joke who cares what they have to say. I thought they would be more concerned about our deficit.
paronlulu Condemning someone for a shared political opinion is a dictatorship type approach from a caucus that expresses political freedom as long as it agrees with them.
Imagine that, the 'freedom ' caucus condemns a member for voicing his own opinion. So much freedom, almost as much as winning....
As a taxpayer I do too! Enough is this BS already!
Freedom Caucus to Amash “you don’t use your freedom of speech to criticize Dear Leader!”
The Russian focused so called Freedom Caucus is a sham.
Freedom of what? Freedom to oppress!
Go Amash! We’re with you on this one!! Stay strong! Continue to STAND for truth.
No Freedom for you!
Group think rules
Why would they do this? Because he has a mind of his own, that’s got to be a dangerous place to work when you’re not allowed to think for yourself. Oops, I forgot that’s the Trump GOP/Lemmings/Collective philosophy; they eat their young.
The traitors have names the so called caucus is a cult a band of criminal coconspirators.
You condemn, we praise. PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 2020 America is ours.
No surprise here, from this weak-kneed collection.
The first step in cutting off his future campaign money, just like they did with Charlie Crist. Fascists.
Of course they did. In the Republican Party you have no brain. You do what they say and think how they think no matter what or there are consequences. As President you can shit on the Constitution and they blindly support you and then tell you they are HUGE supporters of it. 🤷🏼♀️
good
🤔 funny - thought those Tea Party guys were all about upholding the constitution Looks like Tea Party now part of the Trump Sycophant Party too RejectTrumpRegime VoteGOPOut
Democrats do stick together better than Republicans.
That would be the House 'Freedom from Honor' Caucus.
After the written condemnation, they plan to escalate punitive action to the next level: A stern talking to
Did any one of these dopes read the report?
So what!
Hes the only one and will remain the loney Repug
❤️❤️❤️
The 'freedom' caucus is a joke and a bunch of trump sycophants.
The freedomcaucus can go ahead and fuck right off. They are such cowards! They do NOT represent the better good of the constitution. They have ZERO courage to do the right thing! I can’t believe that our democracy is being stabbed to death by a bunch of elected Americans! UNSAT!
If the republicans know something that the people of this country doesn’t know about the innocence of DJT, let us know.
HouseGOP
Stop calling yourselves the House Freedom Caucus Now You Should be calling yourselves the House Spineless Caucus...
He can wear that as a badge of honor
What happened to freedom of speech?
GOP in denial
...don’t worry....you can hang out with the other patriots in Congress...the Dems!! Welcome, welcome!!
We as a country need to remember each and every republican that stands by and condemns one of their own while enabling a lawless DJT. They are aware of the foreign influence in our democracy. They remain silent while DJT defies congress. That is treason.
Why you can't handle TRUTH
Don't let irony/hypocrisy be lost on this article. Agree or not - at lest 3 points shouldn't be lost: 1. Your entitled to your own opinion, as long as it's 'mine' 2. Friendship is meaningless 3. Goldfidh have longer attention span - remember when🇺🇸cheered COS comment on priority
Good.
Sheep. UnAmerican
Formally condemning a man for telling the truth. Sounds about right for this GOP
justinamash is the only true American Patriot to defend the rule of law and the Contstitution out of all his fellow Republicans in the House and Senate. It's overwhelmingly disgraceful how corrupted they have become. GOP
The freedom caucus who let trump ride roughshod over democracy who should be condemned
He knew it was coming. Country over party. Country over Trump. Courage under fire.
What would make it better is if Amash decided to change parties.
I stand with Justin.
They should change their name to the kissass caucus...
Gosh, the House Freedom Caucus should be condemned for its blind support of a lying sociopath with no sense of honor and integrity in Trump...just saying
Perhaps they should change their name? 'Freedom' is just not their thing.
“Freedom” Caucus 🙄
Formally condemned a man who took an oath to uphold the constitution and who has integrity. Got it! These fake religious heretics are despicable!
Wait, isn’t Amash the leader of the House Freedom Caucus?
Good for Amash.
Oh please, get integrity
The freedom caucus doesn’t believe in freedom of speech apparently.
Lol. Freedom!
How much lower can that party go? Because someone stood up for the truth? Disgusting.
freedomcaucus? who are they? Hahahahahaha. Fuq a freedom caucus
How dare you actually read the Mueller report and speak the truth!
The Freedome Caucus is a far-right radical group with rouge republicans who want power at the expense of country
Thou shalt not speak the truth!
They are condemning the wrong person.
Yes, condemnation from a bunch of flat-earthers..sigh.
Call them for what they really are - last gasp of male chauvinist pigs.
Isn’t Jim Jordan in this caucus? So they really have no credibility.
Impeach for what ? Being the greatest President in Modern America. history ?
He expressed an opinion.
🤦♂️
Wow! SMFH... Let freedom ring!!
House Freedom Cowards 👈TRUTH
freedomcaucus Ironic that there is no freedom to do the job as a representative and the word freedom is in the name. 🤦🏽♂️ Basicly it’s your way or the highway. justinamash , keep doing your job to protect the people with the constitution. 👍🏽
🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
Clearly Justin Amash is on the right path.
There you go, patriots. A group of GOP hides behind the Constitution and tramples it at the same time.
Of course they did. They don’t give a crap about this country
These corrupt members of the GOP are against freedom.
They condemned the only guy with a brain.
freedom caucus cannot see a world free of trump
So the “Freedom” Caucus is opposed to free speech by its own members. Very rich.
Mmmmm yes opinions from the raiders of the tortilla coast
So much for freedom!
Another stage of impeachment. All behind the president. but not for long
I guess you cannot speak your truth in America any longer, you must do what the herd does!
Cowards GOP and their sidekick the NRA are milking the same Russian cow. FollowTheMoney
Nice! This kind of reckless behavior of Republicans who are touting to the Left needs to be sharply condemned!
That is ridiculous. Amash should be able to speak his truth. The freedom caucus never condemns all the bigots in their party.
Excellent move. We all know who and what he is. Lets see if he is the subject of a recall vote by his constituents because he is not what they elected
That’s ok. Their day when all of America rejects them ya quickly approaching
GOP is most corrupt organization in america.
Now that’s freedom
The republicans are a disgrace
Oxymoron : Freedom Caucus.
The Freedom Caucus has Trump on a pedestal, their God Send, Lord and savior, their admiration for this despicable man is deep. This is who they are.
Repubs throws there best people under the Bus when they speak up for righteousness.
Condemned?! The party of Trump is condemning someone for an opinion? The GOP is proving itself to be a danger to democracy and embarrassment to the country. again
Unbelievable. Soulless GOP.
Kinda stupidly ironic for a group with the word Freedom in its name calling out a person for acting out of freedom and not in a blindly herd-like party over country way.
Let me get this straight, a group who has the term freedom in their name just condemned a member for acting freely? Sounds to me like they should change their name to the house hypocrite caucus. Just a thought. facts
Once again proving their mantra: party over country, brawn over brains.
Who cares?
If only Jim Jordan would have been this concerned about condemning actions when he was at Ohio State.
Good. Now WE need to vote him out!
Because they suck.
Condemned for reading! Condemned for reaching reasoned conclusions! Condemned for failing to aid and abet! TheRepublicanWay
Jim_Jordan don't look, don't see Gym What is the point of the 'freedom carcas'? trump protection racket, how does defending that con man help anyone?
They do not stand for freedom.
Remember when that group on brow ridged morons used to hate on you in Middle School cause you used big words? That's what this is.
Wow. Condemnation for having a different point of view (one shared by many people). What is the GOP doing to this country?
So I guess the Freedom Caucasus doesn’t really feel it’s members are free to think for themselves and have their own opinions. justinamash stay strong and thank you for standing up for the rule of law!
How sad
Freedom?
Snowflakes
GOP = GOONS OF PUTIN
Being condemned by these clowns is a badge of honor.
Hilarious - on all levels.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS DEAD!
Why do they call it the freedom committee then?
Of course they did! These are the same idiots that have gotten us into this mess. The refuse to honor their oath of office! They have refused to call out this despot for his actions. BUT, it only takes one to start the deluge! Perhaps Mr. Amash will be that one!
What a misnomer the HFCaucus is: condemning someone for speaking out. Isn’t that one of our indelible rights? Liberty? So freedom has a “follow us” stipulation?

The freedom caucus is not much about freedom nowadays. They've become the House Fascist Caucus.
House freedom caucus and rand Paul went to Russia. Don't be surprised how much Russian money are in their bank account. Graham for sure has $800,000. Its time America realize we have more than one traitor. Gop is not for us, but for themselves, greed and power.
House Freedom Caucus formally goes on record in favor of corrupt dictatorship.
Fiefdom Caucus you mean.
Best thing to come out of the Republican party in a while....why don't Blacks and Hispanics speak up what are they intimidated and spell-bounded.
Led by known pedo enabler Jim Jordan
The 30 members of the freedom caucus have been ruling. That mean all others in Washington are lame ducks. Let’s stop being beholding yo 30. There’s 350 m ppl in this country not 30
Rep. Amash is a Republican with a soul. Most Congressional members of the GOP are short-sighted weasels.
Pretty much says everything you need to know about the Freedom Caucus.
But, steve king is a hero to the freedom caucus? Sen. Joni Ernst, Rep. Steve King get into the swing of Tulip Festival in Orange City
You don’t disagree. You are a puppy to your master! Cross your master and see how he treats you.
Shocking.
the house freedom caucus got smacked with truth. they don't like truth. tough noogies boys, tough noogies! truth reigns over lies.
History will show the freedom caucus as traitors to democracy, because of that. Well earned gentleman traitors.
BREAKING: House Freedom Caucus also voted to support the President’s proposed $2T infrastructure proposal, calling fiscal responsibility “overrated and misguided during a Republican administration.”
And they worry about censorship on college campuses!
Freedom or Nationalist Caucus?
He is a traitor to his party. He needs to step down.
Jim Jordan is useless.
When republicans condemn one of their own, her must be doing something right.
GOP condemns Amash for choosing the nation, it’s people & Constitution over criminal Trump. It’s time for him to find a better party.
BadgeOfHonor
Congratulations justinamash! Being denounced by ppl who put politics over constitution is an honor.
Just more evidence that every single member present is corrupt as fuck and morally bankrupt. GOP the party of hatred and greed
Any group with Gym Jordan, coverer of pedophilia, loses all credibility, instantly. 177 college boys! are to be believed.
