House Freedom Caucus Unanimously Condemns Amash, Its Own Member

The House Freedom Caucus on Monday night formally condemned Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), one of its founding members, for calling for President Trump’s actions “impeachable.”

According to Politico, the group did not vote on whether or not to remove Amash from the caucus — he apparently doesn’t show up much anymore anyway.

Amash’s words have drawn a primary challenger and Trump’s fury, neither of which has seemed to faze the libertarian, who doubled down Monday on Twitter.

  3. Technically that’s not unanimous, unless he voted to condemn himself, which doesn’t seem like his style.

  4. The order to hold the vote probably came from the Narcissist himself, poor thin-skinned baby.
