GOP lawmaker on Trump's Lewis tweets: 'Dude, just stop'
The Hill ^ | January 14, 2017 | BROOKE SEIPEL

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) knocked President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday for his response to backlash over attacking Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).

"Dude, just stop," Amash tweeted, linking to a tweet from Trump.

Trump suggested Saturday that he and Lewis work together to focus on the nation's inner cities after a number of Democratic and Republican lawmakers slammed him for saying Lewis was "all talk" and "no action."

Who the heck is Justin Amash?

I think he used to sit by the window in Miss Hornswaggle's class.

Amash, a RINO calls President-elect Trump “dude” and expects any respect at all from his party?

He definitely deserves an attitude adjustment.

After taking office, I think it would be wise for DT to limit the tit-for-tat tweets.

"John Lewis and his 'talk' have changed the world," Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) tweeted Saturday, joining other lawmakers criticizing Trump's comments and pointing to Lewis's history in the civil rights movement.

Shut up, nevertrumper! How long is Lewis supposed to get a pass for being a small part of the civil rights movement over 50 years ago?

Amash is another Public Do Nothing.

Private Trump is 10 laps ahead of this public loser Amash.

I can’t even imagine the reaction if any politician had ever referred to Barack Obama as “Dude”.

Unlike that “community organizer” who never accomplished anything of value in his entire life, President elect Trump is worthy of respect. It seems that some people are going to require harsh reminders of that fact.

Amash is a libertarian-leaning Congressman from Michigan. He’s okay.

Besides the fact that Lewis is a complete boob, what part about Trump’s tweets are incorrect?

Given the sorry assed losers that represent African Americans in the Democrat party, one would not be blamed for developing a negative prejudice about the race,

However, given that we conservatives have Justice Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Dr. Carson, and more too numerous to mention, one can be comfortable knowing that we have plenty of African-American talent to draw from.

Hey, Democrats, any islands tip over this weekend?

To say blacks have an outsized influence on the US government is an understatement.

He was a NeverTrumper, and has returned to being one.

That makes him 100% *NOT* okay.

Born in Grand Rapids, and raised in Kentwood, Amash is a second-generation Arab-American of Palestinian Christian and Syrian Greek Orthodox descent. His father, Attallah, is a Palestinian business owner, whose family emigrated to the United States in 1956 through the sponsorship of a Christian pastor and his family. His mother, Mimi, is a Syrian immigrant to the United States.

To take a line from Sylvester Stallone, “He drew first blood!”
Just Stop applies to the Dumocrats. Don’t attack and you don’t get hit back. If you do attack, you’d better have a very clean house. Just sayin.
