Trump's at a loss. How could Fox possibly want to interview anyone but him.

I noticed today Drumpf loaded his diaper because FOX had Pete Buttigieg on.

Loyalty must be unquestioned to appease Dear Leader.

Whenever a republican doesn't blindly follow the supreme leader, that person is called a RINO and suddenly they were never like anyway.

Looks like smonk cleared up the “question” of Amash’s conservative bona fides for the lunatic.

Based on that analysis, Amash, who was first elected to the House in 2010, wrote point blank, "Mueller's report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment."


It's truly stunning to see a member of Congress publicly call for impeachment of the President who is in his own party. But, as Amash explained is his tweets, his motivation to break from the GOP party line was simple: "When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Law -- the foundation of liberty -- crumbles."

Amash is right. You don't need to have a Ph.D. in political science to understand that if elected officials blindly defend the actions of a president simply because they are in the same political party, it's a prescription for disaster for our nation. That is the very definition of putting politics before our Constitution.

Now before Amash is dismissed by Trump or his allies as some sort of closet liberal, let's take a hard look at his record. Amash is as conservative as they come. In 2015, he, along with "some of most hard-line GOP lawmakers" -- as Politico noted at the time -- founded the House Freedom Caucus to push for laws that advocate very conservative positions, including on issues of immigration. Other co-founders include Trump's current acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who at the time was a congressional representative from South Carolina.

Amash has also long received high ratings from right-wing groups like the Conservative Review, which gave Amash an "A rating" this year for "supporting conservative principles" 90% of the time, placing him ahead of hardliners like Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Add to that, in 2018, the American Conservative Union -- headed by frequent Trump defender Matt Schlapp -- gave Amash an award for "conservative achievement" for his "adherence to conservative principles" 88% of the time, placing him way ahead of Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham, who only received a 71% rating.

Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk promised to “primary” the person who once was one of his “favorite members of Congress.”

“Justin Amash used to be one of my favorite members of Congress,” Kirk wrote. “He used to fight for liberty and the constitution. Now he is fixated on adoration from the left & media. He ignores Trump’s WINS on every front. Amash, you have let us ALL DOWN. We will now primary you. You will lose.”

Why would I look up something I already know?

You’re lying, by the way. You have a habit of it.

I've never heard of him before .

You could look up his voting record to see if that's true, if it's so important to you.

Rep. McCarthy: He wants to have attention… He votes more with Nancy Pelosi than he ever votes with me. It’s a question of whether he is even in our Republican conference as a whole… He wants a Sunday show to put his name forward with a question.

He’s actually very conservative, lunatic.

You don’t like him because he thinks for himself...something you’ve never been able to do.

He has already been told on twitter by the people who voted for him, they intend to primary him.

Repubs say he voted with dems most of the time anyway.
Not a reliable repub at all.

Anyway, He's done himself in.

Amash is actually a fairly reliable conservative.

He must show undying allegiance to King Drumpf, however, or the nitwits want him out.
