Republican Justin Amash Tweets Swing at Donald Trump Jr.

Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) became the first Republican to call for President Donald Trump’s impeachment.
And now he’s taking a swipe at Donald Trump, Jr., one day after the President’s eldest son testified behind closed doors before a Senate committee.
Amash’s stance has been one of country over politics, saying that he read the Mueller Report and had no choice but to conclude Trump committed impeachable offenses.
The Michigan Congressman took to Twitter, reminding the nation of what Trump Jr. said when offered the opportunity to get dirt on Hillary Clinton from the Russians, after Don Jr. threatened him on Twitter.

Reports this week revealed President Trump is considering supporting a primary challenge against Amash.
Responses on Twitter to Amash’s tweet were overwhelmingly positive.
Congressman Justin Amash just destroyed Donald Trump Jr. in this tweet. An instant classic.
