Good day all. It seems that Representative Justin Amashole is looking up from a very deep hole he’s dug for himself. Since he left the Republican Party, the big donors have told him to drop dead and never darken their doors again.
As you may recall, Amashole turned out to be an utter and complete fraud, and turned Never Trumper. His stance put him at odds with his constituents, and he was looking at some serious challengers in the Republican Primary. Being an Amashole, the wholly owned subsidiary of China Inc. left the party and became an independent. He also voted in favor of the fake impeachment pushed by the Democrats. Now he’s being told that the money taps for his reelection plans are now off. Here are the details from Reason:
FreedomWorks, the influential libertarian/conservative advocacy group that gave Rep. Justin Amash (I–Mich.) FreedomFighter Awards each of his first eight years in Congress, is reportedly not intending to help the incumbent hold onto his seat as an independent.
“We don’t have any plans to get involved in MI-03 at this time, seeing as we’re focused on some other key races to help regain the GOP’s House majority,” FreedomWorks spokesman Peter Vicenzi told Declan Garvey of The Dispatch, which published a long profile of Amash today. “We’re going to support some incumbents as well, mainly [House Freedom Caucus] members.”
Well, that’s a real kick to the nuts for Amashole, since he helped found the Freedom Caucus in the first place.
Amash, who co-founded the Freedom Caucus and was widely considered to be the brains of the group from 2015 to 2018, left the 30-member bloc last June, then three weeks later bolted from the Republican Party as a whole. It’s that last apostasy, coupled with his outspoken support for impeaching President Donald Trump, that has coincided with an epidemic of cold shoulders from the very organizations that before last summer routinely celebrated Amash’s intellectual independence and fiscal/constitutional conservatism.
Amashole turned out to be yet another swamp dwelling Uniparty scumbag. It’s since come out that his family business is deeply involved with the Chinese Government, and President Trump’s trade war with China, to get better deals for American businesses and workers, slammed the Amashole bottom line. (I guess those losers never heard of “Diversification”)
Amash’s single biggest campaign contributor throughout his career, The Club for Growth, with whom he has a lifetime rating of 99 percent and from whom he received Defender of Economic Freedom Awards for each of his first eight years in the House of Representatives, gave what Garvey described as “an indignant ‘no'” when asked if the fiscally conservative group would again back the most fiscally conservative member of Congress.
Americans for Prosperity, which joined the Club in helping Amash beat back an establishment-GOP primary challenge in 2014, told The Dispatch that they “have nothing to announce at this time.”
It didn’t help Amashole that he jumped neck deep into the GOP Establishment when it was his family’s money that was getting hurt by the trade war. (Which, by the way, we’re winning)
The influential DeVos family from Amash’s own district, which has been his second-biggest donor over the years and with whom his family has various longstanding relationships, announced last year that its days of officially supporting the hometown libertarian were over, too.
Amashole was no libertarian. Of course, most libertarians turn out to be closet fascists or delusional idiots sampling every mind altering pharmaceutical known to man. Still, Amashole is in the race for reelection as an independent. That makes it a three way race between the Republican nominee, The Democrat nominee and a certified Amashole.
One of the things that will hurt him in November is the fact that Militiagan Michigan is one of the few states left that allows a party line vote. Basically, instead of checking off each candidate you want, you can vote the whole party ticket in one go. That will sink an Independent.
Amash likes to counter that he routinely exceeds expectations of pollsters and forecasters, that his district has some truly only-in-MI-3 characteristics (therefore rendering comparative models ineffective), and that, well, he has a pretty good track record of winning elections.
As the old saying foes Amashole, “That was then, this is now.” Of course, Amashole has proven that he is an untrustworthy, lying dirtbag. He hasn’t released his poll numbers or how his fund raising is going, which probably means both are slowly sinking beneath the waves. Considering what a vindictive scum sucking weasel he turned out to be, he’s probably hoping to play the spoiler and turn the seat over to the Democrats. I have no idea if that will work, as it now seems that the district is leaning Republican. What it does mean is Amashole is all done now.
