Justin Amash gone from House Freedom Caucus after saying Trump's conduct was 'impeachable'
2019-06-12
[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.

#4  He's a libbertarian, that's to say a liberal who pretends to be in favor of individuals over gubbamint. In practice he's a liberal. Like Ben Sasser, George Conway and Mittens Romney, he's no friend of you or me.

#3  He must have been taking talking points from Pelosi and the Dems. Good decision to s&it can him from the Freedom Caucus--he did more harm than good. How did he get there in the first place?

#2  In other Michigan news, a Grand Rapids man dragged his career into the street, doused it with lighter fluid and set it ablaze. At last reports, the fire is still burning.

#1  Another idiot more worried about his ME genetics than the country he lives in. Needs to be out of gummint altogether. I'm sure the Kochs or whoever Eddie Munster Paul Ryan is working for now will hire him in a New York Second.
