Rep. Justin Amash Declares 'Independence' From GOP on 4th of July, Sparking Mixed Reactions

By Jenni Fink On 7/4/19 at 10:13 AM EDT
To celebrate the Fourth of July, Representative Justin Amash of Michigan announced his "independence" from the Republican Party, eliciting an array of reactions, both positive and negative.

Amash previously drew attention for being the first — and thus far only — sitting member of the Republican Party in Congress to support impeaching President Donald Trump.

On Thursday, he kicked off the holiday weekend by posting the Declaration of Independence on Twitter. The congressman followed up that tweet with a second post, which included a link to an op-ed he wrote for The Washington Post announcing he was breaking with the Republican Party officially.

His announcement and the massive response that resulted led to "Justin Amash" becoming a top trending topic on Twitter. Users' reactions included: people applauding the congressman for leaving the party; Republicans who expressed sentiments of good riddance; skeptics who wanted to see more action from Amash before making a decision; and those who criticized the way he announced he was breaking with the GOP.

Trump called the announcement "great news" for the Republican Party because Amash was one of the "dumbest" and "most disloyal men in Congress."

"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!" Trump concluded his tweet.

Republican political strategist Michael Caputo expressed similar sentiments, posting on Twitter that Amash was never "one of us," and radio host Larry Elder wondered if Amash would be hired to be a political commentator on MSNBC, presumably because hosts on that cable news network have been openly critical of Trump.

This is the man who voted against Kate’s Law and defunding sanctuary cities.

He’s a #NeverTrumper, who obstructs our president’s “America First” agenda at every turn, using flimsy “Constitutional” excuses as his reasoning; he even opposed sending federal funds to aid Flint’s water crisis.


he fits right in with your political democrat loser's

A fucking America hero boys!

Any way you slice it, the Republicans are one vote farther from a majority in the House.

If he opposed Trump, I predict you’d see wholesale defections from the Turd Reich.

Shit, even Mittens taking on the Sphincter would allow the Republicans to restore some traditional conservative American values to the howling mob.

Can’t win with 40 percent of the vote. Even in the Electoral College.

Fact is, the GOP lost a vote. The Freedom Caucus lost a vote. The Democratic majority is one vote farther ahead of Number Two.

You gained another headache.

Deal with it.

LOL!

The only thing giving us a headache is your sloppy, hapless and annoying trolling.
