Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Donald Trump is still furious. That Republican Representative Justin Amash is still saying Donald Trump should be impeached. So Trump has reached out to some friends of his first and foremost, vice president, Mike Pence, also representative Mark Meadows from North Carolina, the guy who actually cofounded the house freedom caucus with Justin Amash. And of course Amash announced this past Monday that he is leaving the freedom caucus because let's face it, the freedom caucus is basically nuts. Amash has had his eyes opened a at least a little bit at least enough to see that, wow, you guys really need to get your act together. So I'm out. And Trump has also been talking with GOP chairwoman, Ronna Romney McDaniel, and here's the thing, they're all talking about ways to support a primary challenger for Representative Amash head of the 2020 election. Although they're not even certain at this point that Justin, a representative image is going to run again.
In fact, they're actually more concerned about the fact that he may run as some kind of a spoiler against Donald Trump for president. Maybe he would primary him in the Republican primary. Maybe he's gonna run as a libertarian. Something that Amash himself has not ruled out. In fact, he said, I have not ruled it out, but all he knows is that yeah, Donald Trump should be impeached because unlike most other folks, Justin Amash actually read the Mueller report. Now that is something I do 100% agree with representative Amash on what is laid out right there in that Mueller report, those instances of obstruction of justice, that is almost impossible to overlook, right? Democrats in the House of Representatives are likely getting their hands on some of that evidence this week. The DOJ did agree to start turning over some of it, so maybe that is one route for the future, but what I don't agree with here is representative of Bosh using these calls from peach meant to further his own career.
And right now it does appear that that might be his only goal. After all, you know, week or so ago, what was, he went back to Michigan. He gave a a little rally and he did his, Donald Trump should be impeached speech. He got a standing ovation for it. Even from Republicans who went in there saying, I don't support impeachment, but left there saying let's impeach him today. That's good. Yeah. I guess that's kind of what you want in a politician, being able to change people's minds after a 30 minute rally, getting standing ovations for standing up to your own party. But the question is this representative of Marsh, where were you for all these other issues that you should have been standing up to the president on? Not just on the issue of impeachment, not just waiting until the Mueller report came out. What about the terrace? What about locking children down on the border in cages?
