    US Rep Brendan Boyle Retweeted Donald J. Trump

    Like some of my Democratic colleagues, I’m young,

    from an immigrant family, also very critical of Trump.

    Funny thing though, he never tells me to

    “go back where I come from.”

    Hmm I wonder why? ��

    In interviews conducted a year ago but not published until now, Amash says President Donald Trump's ability to shamelessly lie to the American people is his "superpower," and accuses his former congressional allies of "lying through their teeth" to protect the president.

    "They believe in a cosmic battle between the right and the left, good and evil, and they think any criticism of Trump is helping the other side," Amash told Politico reporter Tim Alberta

    His colleagues, Amash tells Alberta, are "willing to do whatever" to placate the president.

    "If that means going on Fox News and lying through their teeth about Trump, so be it," he says. "I think they're hurting themselves and they're hurting the country when they do this stuff."

    Amash also unloads on Trump, saying that the president has a "one of a kind" ability to shamelessly lie in public.

    "The president feels comfortable saying two things that are completely contradictory in one sentence; or going to a rally and saying one thing and then holding a press conference and saying another," Amash tells Alberta. "Most people aren't comfortable doing that. But because he is, it gives him this superpower that other people don't have."

    "These guys have all convinced themselves that to be successful and keep their jobs, they need to stand by Trump," Amash tells Alberta in American Carnage. "But Trump won't stand with them as soon as he doesn't need them. He's not loyal. They're very loyal to Trump, but the second he thinks it's to his advantage to throw someone under the bus, he'll be happy to do it."

    So there’s basically just one guy who’s willing to say that the Emperor has no clothes, and he’s been essentially pushed out of the party in response.

    To remain in the GOP is a soul destroying thing.

    Reviving this thread. Honestly knew next to nothing about him when this thread started. He is a rising star. Very impressed by his competency. Especially being smart enough to not run in 2020. 2024 I think he will have a real chance to break 10-15% in the general election. Biden will be a very weak incumbent.

    I think Joe, if elected, may not run in 2024. Dems are grooming the veep whether it's Warren or Kamala to run in his spot in 2024.

    I will believe that when I see it. Would still be a great time for Amash to run.

    I wish you would learn a few things from him. That's why I keep posting his tweets. Justin is a prince among men.

    Amash is a great man. I've met him twice. Love the guy. Sad he's leaving

    I do think he suffers from some TDS. He is fantastic at calling out his flaws but refuse to give credit where due. He is a libertairan as I used to be... black and white. But peeps on this board told me I was to black and white and so I began adapting

    Amash podcast w/ Jared Polis.

    In a saner, better country, these are the people competing for POTUS. Instead we get Trump and Biden. Sad.
