Once the co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus, Amash has become disenchanted by the patriotic group of Republican lawmakers. He now regularly skips their meetings because they support President Trump’s agenda while Amash does not.

He previously voted against Kate’s Law, opposed the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, and was the only Republican in Congress to co-sponsor a Pelosi initiative to stop the President from invoking emergency measures at the US southern border.

Long-time LP member Bill Gelineau, who was the LP of Michigan’s gubernatorial candidate in 2018 and has challenged Amash in the past, feels that Amash’s bluster is little more than a gambit for attention. “Justin has a pretty good sense of putting his finger in the air. He can talk about it, but I don’t think he’d do it, and he’d lose if he did. And that would destroy his brand,” Gelineau said. “I think it’s a big bluff.”

If anyone is leading a libertarian renaissance in America, it is President Donald Trump by lowering taxes, reducing regulations, sealing the border, engaging with hostile countries, fixing trade imbalances, and improving the economy.

By interfering with this progress and playing spoiler against Trump in 2020, Amash may deliver the final death blow to a liberty movement that former Texas Congressman Ron Paul worked for decades to create.
