Pro-Trump GOP state rep announces Amash primary challenge

[Common]

A Michigan state lawmaker on Monday announced he will mount a primary challenge to Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) after the congressman tweeted that he believed President Trump had committed impeachable offenses, according to the Detroit Free Press.


State Rep. Jim Lower (R) said he would challenge Amash in the Republican primary for his western Michigan seat rather than seek a third term in the state legislature.



Lower said he had been planning to run before Amash’s remarks but fast-tracked his announcement after the tweets this weekend despite originally planning to make it closer to July 4.



Amash drew fire from Trump on Sunday for tweeting that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report detailed “impeachable conduct” and that Attorney General William Barr had misrepresented Mueller's findings.



“Mueller’s report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice, and undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence,” Amash said.

How appropriate that its name is Lower.

All the Lowers are Trump supporters, I imagine.

Amash is obviously a RINO.

Meh, the leftist didn't know Amash was Never Trumper when Trump became the nominee. Of course that Syrian and Palestinian heritage would cause It much confusion.

Amash is a thousand times more conservative than Trump is. Naturally, Republicans will want to get rid of him ASAP.

[Tahuyaman]

Amash is said to be a solid conservative, but when he's had the opportunity to demonstrate that with a tough vote, he has often voted present.

He has voted to replace one big government program with another as he did with the health care issue.


Sometimes his conservative talk isn't backed up by his actions.

[Ethereal]

Amash has...

...never voted in favor of gun control (meanwhile, Trump bans bump-stocks and contemplates using a government watch-list to strip Americans of their second amendment rights).

...a 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee.

...a 99% lifetime rating from the Club for Growth.

...a 100% rating from the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

...a 90% rating from the Conservative Review.

Clearly, the Republican party must rid itself of this stalwart conservative who always votes in line with the constitution, limited government, and individual liberty.

After all, he said something about God-Emperor Trump that was less than flattering. And such behavior cannot be tolerated!

I'll agree with Ethereal, this Amash has got to go. Fck with the bull, you get the horns. It's an American thing, you wouldn't understand.
