Independent and former Republican Justin Amash took to Twitter Tuesday to continue his attacks on the GOP and their continued support of Donald Trump, echoing his many past criticisms of the direction of the Republican Party under the current president.
“Conservatives will someday face the horrible truth that the Republican Party fought so hard to justify and excuse an amoral and self-serving president, and what he gave them in return was bigger government and erosion of the principles and values they once claimed to cherish,” Amash wrote.
The following day, Amash noted that Republicans have turned to Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist No. 65 for its expression of Hamilton’s “fears of partisan impeachment” and suggested they were misled in their understanding of the essay.
“But Hamilton is not writing that passionate factionalism can be avoided. He is writing that our Constitution’s approach—charges in the House, trial in the Senate—best renders impartial justice.”
