In the aftermath of Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., calling for President Trump to be impeached over the findings in Robert Mueller’s report from the special counsel’s investigation, he is now going to be facing a primary challenger. State Rep. Jim Lower announced his candidacy on Sunday.
Speaking with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Monday, Lower further explained why he is running against the five-term congressman. […]
“You know at this point, Justin Amash has more in common with Rashida Tlaib than he does the average Republican primary voter in the district. So, we are going beat him on this issue, but we’re also beat him on the fact that in ten years in Congress, he’s gotten one bill passed and it was to rename a post office. Completely ineffective,” he said.
After posting on Twitter about his thoughts on impeachment, Amash did receive praise from Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. …

That should leave a mark.
I hope that the new guy has principles that he can hand onto and isn’t merely a reasonably sharp guy who sees a great opportunity.
I am afraid that Reagan was correct when he observed that: “The reason why none of our people are in Washington is once they get to Washington, they cease to be our people.”
Amash is tied to CHINA like white on rice. $$$$$$$$ He wants Trump out!
Shoot to kill, Jim. Amash gotta go.
He’s a Jihadist, Tlaib is a Jihadist..they both hate Jews, hate Israel..love open borders, etc etc they should get married
Good. These NeverTrumpers could learn something about party unity from the Democrats, sad to say. You have a president that wrested an unbelievable victory from the Democrats, then got not only tax cuts but drastic regulatory reductions, tariffs against China, and suckered the Democrats into vituperative investigations that will blow up in their face?
The only reason Amash would call Trump treasonous is because someone offered him money or ass.
Amash is going to do what any squishy Republican does.
Turn Libertarian.
This could be said of Mitt Romney, too. Glad he was never president!!

BIG LEAGUE TRADE: Justin Amash’s Business Interests in China Underscore His Push to Impeach Trump!
It may be more than constitutionalism driving Amash’s dogged opposition to President Trump.
Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) has become the darling of anti-Trump liberals following his declaration in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump yesterday.
While Amash acts like his support of impeachment is rooted in constitutional grounds, there may be a financial motive to his opposition to Trump.
It has been revealed that Amash has significant business interests in China that may be harmed by Trump’s ‘America First’ trade policies.
In Amash’s financial disclosure forms for the year of 2015, he was shown as receiving up to $1 million in annual income due to his ownership stake in Michigan Industrial Tools (MIT). MIT is the parent company of Tekton Tools, Amash’s family business, that benefits directly from Chinese manufacturing.
An article from MLive in 2010 exposed Amash as being the co-owner of Dynamic Source International (DSI), a Chinese company that was once an MIT supplier. Amash’s family have been outspoken advocates of the globalist trade status quo for many years.
“Trade with China is providing American consumers with good quality tools that could not be made for those prices in the United States,” said John Amash, Justin’s brother, who is President of Tekton Tools.
The issue was a controversy when a Democratic opponent of Amash pointed out his Chinese business connections when the Grand Rapids Congressman initially ran for Congress in 2010 billing himself as a tea party advocate and Ron Paul Republican.
“The fact is, instead of making American-made products made by American workers, Justin Amash has chosen Chinese workers to make products which he then sells in America,” said Lonny Paris, who served as campaign manager in 2010 for Amash’s Democratic opponent Pat Miles Jr.
With Amash becoming a more vicious opponent of Trump than even most Democrats, his business record is once again under scrutiny as it may be more than principled constitutionalism driving this ‘Never Trump’ leaders motives in leading the drive for impeachment.
