United States Headlines News

United States Latest News, United States Headlines

After Rep. Justin Amash tweeted Saturday that he believes President Donald Trump “engaged in impeachable conduct” by obstructing the investigation into the 2016 presidential election, the Michigan Republican returns to the Capitol on Monday where he can expect to face more attacks from the president's fiercest loyalists.

On Sunday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called Amash a"lightweight," contending he votes"more with Nancy Pelosi than he ever votes with me." Trump has also received support or sorts from a former political 2016 GOP rival, Sen. Mitt Romney, who said Amash “reached a different conclusion than I have.”

Amash, a five-term lawmaker, has never been the most popular conservative on Capitol Hill, often projecting his libertarian principles into votes against bills with near-unanimous bipartisan support..@justinamash come find me in 1628 Longworth. I’ve got an impeachment investigation resolution you’re going to want to cosponsor. https://t.

This isn’t news.

He's got my vote. He supports the rights and freedoms of the people!!!

WHITE SUPREMACISTS ARE OUT OF THE CLOSET IN EVERY CITY, TOWN, VILLAGE IN THE USA, AND ARE MOLESTING INNOCENT AMERICANS—A CRIME. GET TO THE ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM—THE REPUBIC PARTY.

Other Republicans are just afraid to read the redacted Muelker report as they will see themselves as the fools they have been for special interests m, money and position over representing the people of their state and country, they are ALL GUILTY as COCONSPIRATORS now!Their souls

Best Republican award for standing up and speaking out! Someone with integrity unlike the other Republicans who want to hold out for cash and their special interests! We need TRUMP like now as CRIMES of OBSTRUCTION are mounting, COLLUSION already seen within RUSSIA!

Go AMASH! I completely agree and am glad that as a REPUBLICAN he holding up to the Constitution of the United States and not for special interests but actually representing the people! That’s a first in a long time! But he actually read the redacted Mueller report! IMPEACH TRUMP!

People should look into your background.

This guy's an absolute ass.

ABC=tabloid

Not sure exactly who he is, but All this “impeachment stuff” is REALLY, getting OLD. NEWS FLASH: No impeachable offense=no impeachment for those who like to live in reality. Democrats are probably losing more of their own with this unrelenting nonsense.

If this is about serious crimes committed by the President, then why so chipper and flippant? This would be a sobering event if true.

Amash is a incorrect. What are the details of a single crime Trump has committed while in office? Obstruction you say? Prove your case.

Impeached for what You and your party are a joke

He has integrity and courage which rest of the GOP doesn’t. Everyone else is sitting with their tail between their legs. History will judge them harshly.

Wonderful!

impeachment is an insane fantasy: no evidence of a crime; need 2/3 of senate; n we the voters will never allow such abuse to thwart our will. it will divide the country; nothing will get done; it will never succeed; n all it will do is infuriate n alienate us we the voters more.

Seems like one of the only guys with guts to do their job. Is he now a part of the ‘revive Republican’ effort? GovBillWeld

Knows his political career is over and is looking for the media and book tour 🤣

“Trump called you a loser” “Ok..”

Begin 'the process' as Amash says. It will cripple the dems during the election and guarantee a Trump victory. If any want to defeat Trump, stay gaway from the impeachment swamp. Those for impeachment are fools.

Courageous Lincoln better angel

That's right stand up for what's right and that's what's good for your f****** party

🤣😂

Keep running away, Brave Sir Robin. 🙄

Good for him. countryfirst

For what? The Democrats didn’t get their way? They couldn’t even steal an election properly & pin a Russian Collusion Hoax on an innocent man. The Democrats manipulated FISA Judges to procure warrants so they could spy on American citizens.This treasonous mess is on the Democrats

A Republican with two balls and a spine.

Hopefully his courage inspires other Republicans to show loyalty to the Constitution and not their supreme leader. Wasn't this country founded on that? The idea that we didn't want a king? Especially one who breaks the law?

Amash. Dingler Berry.

This is getting ridiculous! I'm all for Upholding the law and defending constitution. So Congress should either take decisive actions to bring those in contempt of our great nation to justice or Get back to running or country! THIS CONGRESS HAS DONE NOTHING BUT WASTE TIME!

There's no room in the current Republican party for dissent. Amash will be punished for his insubordination.

for this,

Takes courage to stand for what you feel over just falling in line with your party.
