Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) over the weekend broke with his fellow Republican colleagues after reading special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. His conclusions: Attorney General William Barr had badly misconstrued the report’s contents in his representations of the material and President Donald Trump had committed acts that, to his mind, had crossed the “threshold of impeachment.”
Along the way, Amash had harsh words for his colleagues on both sides of the aisle, suggesting that not many of them had “even read Mueller’s report,” and that “their minds” had been “made up based on partisan affiliation — and it showed.”
As if to underscore this, Amash’s fellow Republicans have heaped scorn upon the five-term congressman. And naturally, Trump led the way on his favorite medium, Twitter — referring to Amash as a “loser” and a “lightweight.”
