On Wednesday, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale joined the growing group of conservatives denouncing Republican Rep. Justin Amash for his continued calls for the impeachment of the president, and his criticism of US Attorney General Bill Barr.
Parscale directly called out the self-styled libertarian Amash, who he called a “phony” while noting that the congressman hasn’t raised an issue of the highly questionable and likely illegal spying on Trump’s 2016 campaign.
“He is just another Grandstanding Swamp Creature auditioning for the approval of the liberal media,” Parscale said of Amash, echoing similar assertions of Republicans who have reacted in outrage to their colleague’s repeated attacks on President Trump.
If Phony @justinamash were a TRUE libertarian, he wouldn’t stand for abuse of FBI power, spying, & bogus dossiers funded by political foes and fed to secret FISA courts. He is just another Grandstanding Swamp Creature auditioning for the approval of the liberal media.

Recently, Amash has called for impeachment proceedings against President Trump citing the Mueller report, which ultimately found no criminal wrongdoing on Trump’s part, and has also attacked the credibility of US AG Barr.
Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented key aspects of Mueller’s report and decisions in the investigation, which has helped further the president’s false narrative about the investigation.

In subsequent statements and testimony, Barr used further misrepresentations to help build the president’s false narrative that the investigation was unjustified.

Outraged conservatives agreed, and took to social media to demand Amash be “primaried” in the upcoming 2020 election.
The only people standing with Justin Amash are #nevertrump, Democrats and left-leaning media.
It’s not about “country over party,” it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I agree. Even though, I do not live in Michigan, I say it is time for Amash to pack his bags and go home. There is no excuse for what Amash is doing. He needs to get out of Congress.

Amash won’t be around for long. That’s clear!
