Ex-GOP Rep on Amash Leaving the Party: The Republican Party Has ‘Failed Morally’
RUSH EXCERPT:
JOLLY: “Justin should wear the criticisms as a badge of honor and nobody should be prouder to be criticized by this president for his own convictions. What we saw from Justin Amash this weekend is not a rejection of Trumpism. He had largely done that, frank frankly through the service in the Congress and he called out a party that continues to celebrate this president. He rejected the Republican’s embrace of this president and you know, I sent a brief note to Justin saying hey, I know it was a journey for you, and I hope you are breathing easier today. I think what he experienced what I did as well which is a bit unexpected that in rejecting Trump and the Republican Party there’s also this bit of rejection of today’s partisanship, and that is not playing both sides. It really isn’t. In today’Republican Party we have a party that failed morally and failed to protect the Constitution and the ideals and we do know that the two-party system and the entrenchment continues to, rode at the Founders’ vision.”
