“I’m an Arab-American, and he has the audacity to say I’m Al Qaeda’s best friend in Congress. That’s pretty disgusting,” Amash said in a post-speech interview with Fox 17. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Even if he’s a tea party candidate, he loses any measure of respect from me the second he hyphenated his status. If you ain’t “AMERICAN” period, then don’t talk to me about anything. I’m and AMERICAN. Not a “Dutch-American” or “Welsh-American”. Stop hyphenating yourselves.
Amash refused to support Israel.
Devin Nunes is Mexico’s best friend. Nunes is part of the group attacking Amash. Ironic attacking Amash when Nunes’ has oligarchs backing his immigration stance.
I think Nunes ancestors are from Portugal (not Spain or Mexico), but he has this sort of reverse-nativist streak in him where the solution to every problem is just add mass immigration.
