President Donald Trump’s “constant fear-mongering’’ about terrorism is “irresponsible and dangerous.’’ He needs to “stop attacking the legitimacy of the judiciary.’’ He picked an attorney general with “anti-liberty” positions on surveillance and police seizure of property.
Those tough assessments come not from one of the president’s critics in the Democratic Party, but from a conservative Republican House member whose district decisively backed Mr. Trump in the election.
Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan has emerged as one of the leading Republican critics of the president, using a tool Mr. Trump himself often employs—an assertive presence on Twitter—to challenge and even taunt the president. While other House Republicans who were skeptical of Mr. Trump during the presidential campaign have since toned down their criticism, Mr. Amash, who has 100,000 Twitter followers, has remained a vocal critic.

It’s those Amash again.
“Born in Grand Rapids, and raised in Kentwood, Amash is a second-generation Arab-American of Palestinian Christian and Syrian Greek Orthodox descent. His father, Attallah, is a Palestinian business owner, whose family emigrated to the United States in 1956 through the sponsorship of a Christian pastor and his family. His mother, Mimi, is a Syrian immigrant to the United States.”
Just thought everyone should know he’s a Palestinian, whatever the hell that is!
He needs to jump on the Trump train or take a hike !

The wsj didn’t find that worth mentioning in the article. Oh good grief, does biased and fake news have no boundaries?
And more importantly he is a Christian
Reminds me if The Pope of Greenwich Village. Substitute Arab for Irish. “Third cousins for Arabs is like brothers to you and me.”

I thought he was a Libertarian
This guy needs to be Cantorized in 2018. He is not on board with the program, and we don’t need RINOs undermining our efforts.
The 3rd Dist is the “Do Nothing, Know Nothing, DEAD ZONE” of Michigan.
Palestinian Arab (Christian) from Michigan. Check out his financial transactions please, Mr. Sessions.
Amash and Ben Sasse have been YUGE anti-Trump disappointments.
Looks like we are really late in putting in extreme vetting. This trash came here in 1956.
When the WSJ brands someone a conservative I’m always suspicious.
I’m sure he’ll take Trump down any day now.
Who?
Well guess what, Justin, Trump is trying to save your ass whether you like it or not.
Enjoy your last 22 months in office
