The GOP divide

Republicans are freaked out by Justin Amash’s call to impeach Trump Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) over the weekend broke with his fellow Republican colleagues after reading special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. His conclusions: Attorney General William Barr had badly misconstrued the report’s contents in his representations of the material and President Donald Trump had committed acts that, to his mind, had crossed the “threshold of impeachment.” Along the way, Amash had harsh words for his colleagues on both sides of the aisle, suggesting that not many of them had “even read Mueller’s report,” and that “their minds” had been “made up based on partisan affiliation — and it showed.” As if to underscore this, Amash’s fellow Republicans have heaped scorn upon the five-term congressman. And naturally, Trump led the way on his favorite medium, Twitter — referring to Amash as a “loser” and a “lightweight.” [READ MORE]( [One of the biggest champions of D.C. statehood is a woman from Iowa]( [READ MORE]( [Bernie Sanders will present proposal on behalf of Walmart workers at annual shareholders meeting]( [READ MORE]( [Senate hearing on agriculture and climate change featured industry speakers, no climate scientists]( [READ MORE]( [Texas law firm reveals it is working with Russia’s ally in the Balkans]( [READ MORE]( [GOP lawmaker claims there’s no need to impeach Trump because the real villains are already locked up]( [READ MORE]( CAPAF | ThinkProgress Center for American Progress Action Fund 1333 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20005 United States This email was sent to{EMAIL}.
