Former GOP Rep. Pledges to Support Dems & Vote to Impeach Trump If the Time Comes

Justin Amash was a Republican.

Michigan Republicans voted him into office to be their voice as a Republican.

Then, one day, Amash is all like: “Trump, Trump, Trump, impeach, impeach, impeach.”

Something like that.

Now, Amash, an “Independent” – a word which certainly warrants quotes – says he’ll vote with Democrats to impeach POTUS if it comes down to it.

From The Hill:

Rep. Justin Amash, the Michigan Republican-turned-Independent lawmaker who’s flirting with a presidential bid, has pledged to join House Democrats if they vote to impeach President Trump.

Amash noted, “Yes. Assuming the articles are drafted properly, yeah, I think there’s impeachable conduct that could be included in articles that I would support.”

The 39-year-old libertarian-leaning congressman said earlier in the year that former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on 2016 election interference had provided enough evidence that Trump had committed impeachable offenses, including abuse of power and obstruction of justice.

Amash declared his independence from the Republican Party on July 4.

He was the first sitting GOP Rep. to call for President Trump’s impeachment.

Here’s the story…and 45’s loving it…

From The Hill:

Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.) on Thursday announced he’s leaving the Republican Party and becoming an independent, months after igniting a political firestorm when he became the first sitting GOP congressman to call for an impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

“Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party,” Amash wrote in a Fourth of July op-ed for The Washington Post. “No matter your circumstance, I’m asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. I’m asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system — and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.”

Trump’s reaction to “loser” Amash’s announcement:

Great news for the Republican Party as one of the dumbest & most disloyal men in Congress is “quitting” the Party. No Collusion, No Obstruction! Knew he couldn’t get the nomination to run again in the Great State of Michigan. Already being challenged for his seat. A total loser!
