In Washington, D.C., he's been labeled "loser," accused of being a secret Democrat, and ostracized from the legislative caucus he co-founded, but on Monday night Rep. Justin Amash (R–Mich.) found himself in friendlier territory—and embraced the opportunity.
At a town hall in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Amash's constituents gave him applause and praise—but also fired pointed questions from left, right, and center political perspectives—during a nearly two-hour meeting marking the congressman's first public appearance since tweeting that he believed President Donald Trump had engaged in "impeachable conduct." It was the sort of spectacle that's all too rare in politics today; a (mostly) respectful, detailed discussion of policy, politics, and the balance of power in the federal government.
If you had never heard of Amash before, it was a perfect introduction to his views on just about every significant issue. If you are familiar with him, it was a standout performance.

The whole “town hall” was a complete setup, unannounced until the last minute and stacked with Soros leftists.
He's not a very good lawyer.
I used to consider myself somewhat libertarian, but I’ve come to see they use moral equivalence (both sides are bad) to evade seeing how bad this new left has become, and as an excuse for cowardice in standing up to their much more anti-libertarian policies.

TownHall fake as sh:t.
Fake as CNN News.
Don’t give them clicks.

I’e always liked Amash. He and Massie are two of my favorites. I don’t like him endorsing impeachment.
It would be one thing if he were trying to goad the Dhimmicraps into it so they’ll lose. The President seems to do that himself sometimes.
He should stay in Congress.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He should be removed in a primary like the weasel Eric Cantor.
ALL the Bush League Republicans should have that fate.
Every one who supports amnesty for illegal aliens should be gone starting with Flimsey Grahamnesty in 2020.
We are witnessing the co-optation of mainstream libertarianism by the left.
All so they can have their cheap cabbage and imported catamites.
I was a libertarian in the 1990s, crazy party it is...it makes the Dems look sane...Yes, they have good points, but not everything is American...
he’s a colossal dick, he has never been able to keep his mouth shut, and he’s constantly saying stupid sh*t.
hope he likes Michigan. he’s going to be spending a lot of time there soon.
He packed the room with Trump-haters, who lustily booed the only Trump-supporting questioner allowed. Too bad for him he won’t be able to pack the voting booths in 11 months.
China is pressuring him to do this. Our CONgress is bought and paid for.
The Libertarian Party is the reason I often describe myself as a “small-l libertarian”.
Juck Fustin!
He owns Tekton Tools. I won’t be buying them...the ahole.
We had Obama loving liberal libertarians, now we have Deep atate libertarians... coincidink?
Rumor has it that the DeVos family has announced they will no longer financially support Amash.
Reason just doesn’t know what to do with itself now that pot has been widely legalized.
This ‘libertarian’ group/magazine has apparently decided to throw in with lazy DC collective wisdom which means authoritarianism.
So much for ‘reason.’
small l libertarian is just a pissed off conservative ( i know because that is what i am )....
