Rep. Justin Amash speaks in a House Oversight Committee hearing where Michael Cohen, President Trump's former personal lawyer, testified, in Washington on Feb. 27. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 19 at 1:30 PM Staunch libertarian Rep.
Not surprisingly, Trump punched back at Amash on Sunday, tweeting that Amash is “a loser” and “a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy.” We can marvel at Amash’s intellectual and moral clarity and applaud his courage. However, he’s just saying indisputable facts and refusing to go along with the scheme to distract voters from the magnitude of Trump’s offenses. Unfortunately, that is what counts for courage these days.
First are the cynics who know Trump is unfit, if not dangerous; however, they’ll get what they can and bolster their resumes . When Trump bottoms out, they’ll move on, probably insisting they were secretly against Trump all along. They consider Republicans who’ve resisted Trump such as the Weekly Standard’s editors and writers, who refused to imbibe the Trump Kool-Aid and in the process lost their publication, to be fools, saps and fusspots upset about a few tweets, dumb lies and crass language.
First, he’s a dumbass with Zero understanding of Article 2 powers and what impeachment requires. Second, he has a multi-million dollar business based in China! He has a conflict of interest and would benefit from a Trump impeachment!
Because the rest of the GOP are spineless cowards.
The only principled Republican. Simple enough.
He stands alone because of the fear and ignorance of the used to be Republican party.
Candidate Amash?
Cause he’s tied to China?
He’s stands alone right now , because he’s a man of INTEGRITY.
Is he looking for his next job ?
Abolish the GOP
It's another Jeff flake!
Elementary- Hater air time
Because he is the only republican with a back bone.
justinamash You don’t stand alone, many decent Americans are proud of you, keep pushing!
The GOP seem to be terrified of angering the POTUS! Like good little Lemmings they’re content just to follow their GOP Party Leader wherever he chooses to lead them 🦁🦁🦁-💇♂️ Even if it’s to their Parties demise!🥺 OR, maybe as part of his KINGDOMS ruling body!
GOP Congress members are spineless or just as corrupt as Trump?
Because the rest of the Republicans in Congress are either as stupid as Trump or too cowardly to call him out.
Loser Amash supports China NOT USA 🇺🇸
Amash stands alone because he's wrong about the Spygate scandal, and he has his own agenda.
These phony Republicans are slowly being flushed out of Their rat holes by the Trump Administration. It’s called draining the Swamp.
Well, Trump gave him high praise for calling him a loser. That means he's on the right path and doing the right thing.
He's the only GOPer that actually read the report?
Because he's the only republican with integrity, courage of conviction and a set of balls.
He would soon be joined by more others
You’ll be recognized for your intelligence and forthrightness. Now go tell the other republicans what you know.
There is a very simple reason why Amash stands alone. Republicans put party over country almost every time.
I wish more would actually read the report
Since when?
Because of a totally rotten corrupt Republican Party
Assholes always end up alone
The GOP has the tea party licking its boots. All but justinamash are on their knees before king realDonaldTrump and his goon squad.
Because he's completely fake.
Because he knows a criminal when he sees one?
Because unlike the 2 other parties he has intestinal fortitude.
Being courageous is hard. Good on you Mr. Amash.
Mitch McConnell should also be impeached. Here's why?
He doesn't, he's got the whole Democratic party behind him and most of the nation!
Last chance Republicans there's a spine back there somewhere?
Because he hasn’t been bought off...McConnell, graham,jordon,meadows..they have been cashing in since drump came to town..Greed and the smell of $$$$...Welcome to the blood sport called Politics!!
I am hopeful when a congress person from any party does diligent research and has their personal response based on facts. dumpgop
Because hie party is full of people who place party over country. That was an easy one to answer.
Because Congressional GOP members are gutless corrupt cowards?
He's a child of Hamas
He’s a Chinese counterpart!
Seems many of our elected officials are either Crooks or Cowards... We are a NationAtRisk
justinamash owns a manufacturing company in China called Dynamic international. With President Trump's recent Tariffs with China, I'm convinced that Justin Amash supports impeachment because of this very reason.
Because he owns a business in China that might be hurt by Trump's tariffs? Come on Washington Post, get someone on this.
Wolf in sheep's clothing! He isn't a Republican! He pretending to be so he can run as a Republican in his district, once people discover this latest post his sheep's clothing will be removed! Need a real Republican to run against him and send him packing!
Because he thinks it will make him look relevant. He’s wrong.
New Headline: Why We Now Pretend to Care About Libertarians
Just Damn you folks still throwing s--- to see if it sticks
Bs
WITHOUT DOCUMENTS
Because he’s running for prez as an independent?
Mice is right!!! Bunch of pussies. They lost their morality and much more. I can't take the hypocrisy!!
Because the rest of the GOP are 🐤 s.
You’re all idiots for still pushing this bogus narrative. He will never be impeached. Ever. So move on, platform on real issues, or be responsible for 4 more years.
Because most Republicans don’t have businesses in China and vote with Nancy Pelosi most of the time?
Because the GOP is filled with cowards liars and Russian money
Because republicans are cowards
He’s the only one with morals on the GOP circus?
Because he has a spine?
Because the rest is a bunch of puppets!
He stands alone because he’s wrong, and we hate losers.
