Amash hasn’t gotten along with the GOP in recent years, and he is one of the few Republicans to call for Trump’s impeachment.
This resulted in the call for him to step down, and now Amash has decided to leave the GOP…
…much to Trump’s delight!
In a fiery Tweet, the President ripped into Amash, calling him “one of the dumbest & most disloyal men in Congress.”
As The Daily Caller noted:
“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!”
So, Amash is gone. And one might guess he defected to the Democrats.
But evidently, that isn’t the case; it appears he will now be an Independent.
Trump’s scathing reply came shortly after Amash revealed on July 4th that he’s declaring his “independence” from political parties:
In an opinion piece Amash penned for The Washington Post, he said “our politics is in a partisan death spiral.”
He now believes the two-party system is broken, and has actually become a “threat to American principles and institutions.”
Good luck with that, Amash. Not sure how long you will make it out there saying everyone is wrong except yourself.
Are you also happy to see Amash gone from the GOP? Let us know in the comments!
