On May 18th, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) fired off a series of tweets, joining the chorus of Democrat lawmakers who wanted to see President Trump impeached over his handling of Mueller’s phony witch hunt that was initiated after Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC paid for a phony Russian dossier, then used it as a basis for our intelligence community to spy on the Trump campaign. Apparently, Amash, who prides himself on being a “constitutionalist” is less bothered by the deep state spying on private citizens than Trump’s reaction to the spying.

President Trump responded to Amash’s tweets by calling him a “total lightweight.”

It’s been rumored for some time now, that the anti-Trump “Republican lawmaker is considering a run against President Trump as a Libertarian candidate. Last night, Amash tweeted that he’s formed an exploratory presidential committee to seek the Libertarian nomination for President in the upcoming 2020 election. But will voters support a Libertarian candidate that relied on the support of the GOP to keep him in office for 5 terms while voting like a Democrat?

On June 14, 2019, Michigan Conservative Coalition, the same group that organized the first massive protest against Governor Whitmer’s draconian lockdown measures, hosted a “Squash Amash” rally today, in front of Rep. Justin Amash’s Grand Rapids, MI congressional office.

Over 10,000 vehicles attended #OperationGridlock. The massive protest inspired people from around the world to protest their overreaching governments.

Over 300 people attended the “Squash Amash” protest, many of whom traveled over 3 hours to Grand Rapids to show their support for President Trump and their disapproval for the anti-Trump “Republican” lawmaker Justin Amash.

The objective of the group was to call attention to Amash’s poor voting record and his obsession with removing President Trump from office. The Michigan Conservative Coalition’s successful protest against Amash shined a light on the lawmaker’s unpopularity—especially in his home state of Michigan. We attended the rally and watched the reaction of people driving by the protest and sharing their support by honking their horns or simply giving a “thumbs up!” There was no shortage of blue-collar workers driving by and showing their support for the protest against Amash. At one point, a government worker drove by in a city vehicle and gave the crowd a thumbs-up, as a truck drivers pulled up next to the crowd and blew their loud horns as a show of support for the protesters.
