Justin Amash gone from House Freedom Caucus after saying Trump's conduct was 'impeachable'
[FOXNEWS] Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash ...pretend Republican congressman from Michigan, who probably won't be there come 2020...announced Monday evening he is leaving the influential conservative House Freedom Caucus, just weeks after he attracted the ire of his colleagues by arguing in Twitter posts that President Trump had committed impeachable offenses, Fox News has learned. Amash, speaking at a Freedom Caucus board meeting, insisted his departure was voluntary. Amash said he did not want to continue to be a "further distraction" for the caucus, which is chaired by North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Meadows. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, a member of the Freedom Caucus, told Fox News' "Ingraham Angle" Monday evening that Meadows and Amash mutually came to the decision after several conversations. Jordan said the Republican members of the group still consider Amash a friend, but that their disagreements were "sharp" and significant. Posted by: Fred 2019-06-12 |
