Amash faces fresh GOP primary challenge after Trump impeachment comments

Less than 48 hours after GOP Rep. Justin Amash declared that President Trump "engaged in impeachable conduct," a fellow Republican has vowed to challenge him in the upcoming primary election.

Michigan state Rep. Jim Lower made his intentions known Monday morning, announcing that instead of seeking a third term in the state legislature, he will run against Amash for their party's nomination for the 2020 election. Amash has served as the representative for Michigan's Third District since 2011.

"Congressman Justin Amash tweets yesterday calling for President Trump’s impeachment show how out of touch he is with the truth and how out of touch he is with people he represents," Lower said, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Fox News has reached out to both Lower and Amash's offices for comment.

Lower, who described himself as "pro-Trump," said he was already planning to challenge Amash, and was originally going to declare his candidacy on July 4. Amash's tweets against the president on Saturday inspired Lower to make the announcement sooner, he said. Lower accused Amash of siding with left-wing Democrats against Trump.

"Amash has not only failed to support President Trump as the President works to make the United States stronger and safer, he has now united with radical liberals like Democratic Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib to try and bring down our President," he said, as reported by WWMT. "He must be replaced and I am going to do it."

Here is one vote right here!

Just have to get the CRC church members to get with it. They are the reason why Cruz won Kent/Ottawa/Muskegon counties [big Dutch Reformed territory] in the primaries last time. They couldn’t be seen as being “dirty” by supporting Trump or else they could never live down the “shame” next Sunday.

We need to know more about this guy Lower...but, I’m thinking he cannot be worse than Amash the Trash.

Partner, we need to get a better candidate than Amash. He is a lousy Rino and a lousy Republican!!!

We also need to go after some of the lousiest Rino Senators and Rino Representatives and lousy DemonRat representatives in Congress. We need to go after folks like Lindsay Graham from South Carolina, since he went with the worst Rino Senator McStain from Arizona, plus he has his head up his posterior when it comes to Illegal Immigration.

An Alien does not have any rights whatsoever!!!

great! let’s get rid of this Ahole incumbent.
Note how they never ever specify WHAT PDJT did that is allegedly an impeachable offense.
(they worked hard for 3 years trying to cook up something and they’re so damned incompetent .. at anything other than Nazi style Big Lie propaganda......that they couldn’t even come up with a Jaywalking charge against him, ha ha ha! Even I never thought he, anybody...anybody..could be that squeeky clean...
after suffering thru a 3 year witch-hunt... )

Justin’s dad Attallah is a “Palestinian” too. His father is part of those that insist that they are “Palestinian Christians”, but a Christian is commanded not to lie and to claim to be “Palestinian” is a lie, so that is oxymoronic (never mind “Allah” being in his dad’s name).

Justin Amash has joined Republicans who Short Sell America.

Amash has invested in America losing. So he votes that you lose and China wins.

May Amash lose on his insider trading for China but against America. Loser.

Ask Amash what he thinks about the Jews and Israel and the look on his face will tell you the story

Amen on that, partner.

Most of the GOP Senators are Amnesty Senators.
We need to elect Enforcement Senators.

It seems like centuries of surviving among Islam has made Christian Arabs just as devious and deceptive as musselmen

I read in more than one source that Amash owns a manufacturing plant in China. What’s awful is that it wasn’t a big deal until he stopped pretending to be a true conservative. Add Traitor Amash to the list.

Dutch Reformed, the bane of Kent County politics. They elect squishy rino types all the time. My family hails from GR. My dad is 80 and to this day grumbles about the DR in Grand Rapids.

I will be looking into volunteering for him, assuming he checks out as a good challenger.

Michigan Industrial tool is the name of amash family business.

Not only is he antisemitic but he was also the only gop rep to vote against defunding planned parenthood. This dirtbag needs to go long ago!

I think his major backer was amway owner Dick Devos, who is also educ. Secretary Betsy Devos’ husband. Devos called amash his right hand man.
