This morning, not seven weeks after breaking ranks with this party in calling for impeachment proceedings against the president, Amash announced in a Washington Post op-ed that he's leaving the GOP and declaring himself an independent.

For a Democrat that’s a resume enhancement.
Just making it official.
It was hilarious hearing the OANN reporter talking about this and the president’s tweet about it. “He called Amash a very dumb person and a loser.” Just saying what we’re all thinking.
Amash's parents were Christian. His biggest problem are his large investments with Chinese dealings. President Trump's tariffs against China are losing money for Amash.

Saddam Hussien's right hand man Tariq Aziz was "Christian" on paper too.
Amash is absolutely biased against Israel and soft on Hamas wackos because of his family's Palestinian background. Palestinian "Christians" loathe Israel just as much as Palestinian Muslims do. That's the hard reality of the situation.
