QOTD: a man of integrity
by digby
This president will be in power for only a short time, but excusing his misbehavior will forever tarnish your name. To my Republican colleagues: Step outside your media and social bubble. History will not look kindly on disingenuous, frivolous, and false defenses of this man.— Justin Amash (@justinamash) October 31, 2019
Save your breath Justin. They can’t hear you. They never could.
Amash is not my political ally. He’s a libertarian with a lot of ideas that I find repugnant. But he’s consistent and he’s sane and he has respect for civil liberties and the rule of law which are the basic foundation of a fair and just society.
The fact that he’s literally the only Republican member of the House to break with the party over this criminal miscreant in the White House — an ignorant conman with no moral core or coherent ideology — who is selling out everything they supposedly believed in, tells you everything you need to know about the Republican Party.
