GOP Rep. Justin Amash, who backs impeachment, resigns from Freedom Caucus.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., resigned from the conservative House Freedom Caucus late Monday, NBC News confirmed Tuesday.the only Republican in the House to call for impeachment proceedings against President Donald TrumpAmash, 39, identifies as a libertarian Republican and is considered among the most conservative members of the House, in which he’s served in since 2011. He helped found the Freedom Caucus in 2015, which is chaired by Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C.
Conservative groups like the Club for Growth, Heritage Action for America and Americans for Prosperity have awarded Amash lifetime ratings of more than 85 percent. But that hasn’t stopped the congressman from bashing Trump publicly. The tweets led to Amash receiving his first official 2020 GOP primary challenger — Michigan state Rep. Jim Lower, who said in a statement that he is a “pro-Trump, pro-life, pro-jobs, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-family values Republican,” and that Amash's remarks “show how out of touch he is with the truth, and how out of touch he is with people he represents.”
