President Trump celebrated Rep. Justin Amash leaving the Republican Party on Thursday, saying the Michigan lawmaker’s departure was “great news.”
“Great news for the Republican Party as one of the dumbest & most disloyal men in Congress is “quitting” the Party,” the president tweeted. “No Collusion, No Obstruction! Knew he couldn’t get the nomination to run again in the Great State of Michigan. Already being challenged for his seat. A total loser!”

Amash’s decision to leave the party was not surprising, given that he’d called for Trump’s impeachment and had already left the House Freedom Caucus.

“Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party,” Amash wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post on Independence Day. “No matter your circumstance, I’m asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. I’m asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system — and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.”
Poor dumb @justinamash chooses July 4 to declare his “independence” from the GOP. As if the GOP has been holding him captive! He joined voluntarily and he’s leaving by choice. This is like me declaring my “independence” from my United airline lounge membership. How brave of me!— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) July 4, 2019
As Matt reported on Thursday, Amash’s decision may not be simply about principles, as the lawmaker is facing a tough primary challenge back in Michigan, with his opponent ahead of him by 16 points, according to one recent survey.
Glad the SOB left the GOP tent. The stench was getting unbearable.
I’ll say this about Puddles McCarthy, he looks good in pastel colored ties.
But why is he allowed to stay??? I voted to fill that seat with a Republican...
GOP leadership only punishes members who stand up for the citizens and the rule of law like Steve King.
I wouldn’t assume this considering how limp wristed the republicans are. Even the more conservative members didn’t force this guy to resign his seat or his committees at the least when he first turned into a traitor.
I don’t recall even the so-called Freedom Caucus even booting dirtbag Amash. Just some vote disagreeing with him. He ended up quitting, of course.

POTUS isn’t the onlyone who celebrates the jerk departing the Grand Old Party.
I was pissed the Freedom Caucus members didn’t boot him out immediately.
Some how I see douche printed across his for head
