On Saturday, Republican Representative Justin Amash’s 13-tweet thread made him the first Republican lawmaker to support President Donald Trump’s impeachment, per The Inquisitr. Now, following Trump’s claims that he is a “total lightweight” and a “loser,” Amash appears to be doubling down on his criticism.
Amash — who isn’t ruling out a potential 2020 presidential run as a Libertarian candidate — posted a series of tweets that go into deeper detail as the why he believes Trump should be impeached for obstruction of justice, per The Hill.
“People who say there were no underlying crimes and therefore the president could not have intended to illegally obstruct the investigation—and therefore cannot be impeached—are resting their argument on several falsehoods.”
According to Amash, the first falsehood is that there are no underlying crimes.
