Rep. Justin Amash stands his ground on Trump impeachment at Michigan town hall.
Michigan Rep. Justin Amash opened his first town hall since calling for President Trump's impeachment with a joke.
"I think it's really important that we do our job as a Congress, that we do not allow misconduct to go undeterred, that we not just say someone can violate the public trust and that there are no consequences to it," Amash said. "I've been your supporter since you started running for Congress, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am," a woman wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat told Amash, adding,"'Violating the public trust' is such a vague term."
