This Is How Trump Responds When a Republican Jumps Ship
Yesterday, Rep. Justin Amash made headlines when he
became the first Republican lawmaker to turn on President Donald Trump by
acknowledging that the president’s conduct is impeachable, based on a close
reading of the Mueller report.
It was only a matter of time before the thin-skinned
president—who obsessively watches cable news shows—responded.
Sure enough, on Sunday morning, Trump went after Amash on
Twitter, although as with all things Trump, we can’t be certain the president
actually wrote the series of tweets himself. Trump called Amash, who as a founding
member of the House Freedom Caucus hasn’t been particularly noteworthy in terms
of other legislative accomplishments, a “loser.” But the fact that Amash
actually read the 448-page Mueller report sets him apart from most of his GOP
colleagues.
“Never a fan of @justinamash,
a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and
policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy,”
Trump tweeted. “If he actually read the biased Mueller Report, ‘composed’ by 18
Angry Dems who hated Trump…he would see that it was nevertheless strong on NO
COLLUSION and, ultimately, NO OBSTRUCTION…Anyway, how do you Obstruct when
there is no crime and, in fact, the crimes were committed by the other side?
Justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands!”
