Justin Amash: What A Time To Be Alive!

Lawmaker Justin Amash leaves the Republican Party because he's tired of Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell's incompetence.

Conservative lawmaker abandons the Republican Party. Sets himself up for a brutal fight between the Democrats who want his seat and the party who is scrambling to find a candidate to beat him.

Michigan's 3rd Congressional District is by far one of the safest seats for Republicans. It will be a difficult pickup for the Democrats. It will also be a challenge for the lawmaker currently holding the seat.

It also fuels rumors that the lawmaker may challenge that imbecile in a primary for president.

Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) has distanced himself from the Republican Party. He is officially leaving the Republican Party because of his party's shameless complicity to Donald J. Trump.

The 39-year old lawmaker is Palestinian American. His is a Christian.

Regarded as one of the most conservative members of the House of Representatives, the lawmaker had a huge fall out with fellow members over their refusal to hold Trump accountable for the actions stated in the Mueller report.

Amash was the sole Republican at the time to declare impeachment of this guy.

The Grand Rapids area lawmaker joins his fellow lawmaker Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in declaring that it's time to "impeach the motherfucker."

Showing that's he's more libertarian, he has became a vocal critic of Trump's reckless decisions.

Trump on the other hand was happy to see Amash go. He called him a total loser. Hours earlier, he tweeted on social media that "Aircraft One" was going to do a fly over. He recalled the tweet after he was mercilessly mocked.

Great news for the Republican Party as one of the dumbest & most disloyal men in Congress is “quitting” the Party. 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!

In the Washington Post today, Amash made the decision to leave the party.

"Our politics is in a partisan death spiral. That's why I'm leaving the GOP. [The] mind-set among the political class that loyalty to party is more important than serving the American people or protecting our governing institutions."

He added, "When my dad was 16, America welcomed him as a Palestinian refugee. It wasn't easy moving to a new country, but it was the greatest blessing of his life."

The last lawmaker of recent time to become an independent was Rep. Gregario Sablan (I-MP). The lawmaker from the Northern Mariana Islands caucuses with the Democrats. He serves as a delegate.

There are 235 members of the Democratic Party along with three delegates and one independent delegate.

There are 197 members of the Republican Party with two delegates and one independent U.S. Representative.
