Amash Gets Republican Primary Challenge 2 Days After Calling for Trump's Impeachment
Rats (((panic))) he's finished, another one down!
A Michigan state lawmaker swiftly filed a Republican primary challenge to Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) on May 20, just two days after Amash became the first Republican congressman to call for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
State Rep. Jim Lower (R-Mich.) launched a campaign for Congress on May 20 complete with a website calling for donations.
"Congressman Justin Amash tweets yesterday calling for President Trump's impeachment show how out of touch he is with the truth and how out of touch he is with people he represents," Lower said in a statement on his campaign website.
"Amash has not only failed to support President Trump as the President works to make the United States stronger and safer, he has now united with radical liberals like Democratic Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit) to try and bring down our President. He must be replaced and I am going to do it," Lower added.
Amash made headlines on May 18 with a series of messages on Twitter accusing Trump of "impeachable conduct" and calling on Congress to impeach the president. Amash is the only Republican to have called for the president's impeachment.
Trump countered Amash on May 19, calling him a " total lightweight" and a "loser" while pointing to the conclusions of Mueller's report.
Lower has held the state seat for two terms while Amash was elected in 2010 and reelected three times.
Amash ran unopposed in 2018 in the Republican primary before winning 54 percent of the vote in the general election. He also appeared to run unopposed in 2016 before winning nearly 60 percent of the vote in the general election. In 2014, he beat primary challenger Brian Ellis with 57 percent of the vote before getting 58 percent of the vote in the general election.
Shortly prior to unveiling his campaign website, Lower shared a statement by Laura Cox, Michigan's Republican chairwoman.
"While President Trump's leadership has led to the strongest economy in a generation, Justin Amash has opposed his 'America First' agenda every step of the way," Cox wrote.
"Now in a desperate attempt to grab headlines and advance his own presidential ambitions, Amash is peddling a narrative that has repeatedly been proven false. Shameful."

Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Ellis, Accused of Sex Assault, Resigns From State House
https://www.thedailybeast.com/pennsylvania-rep-Brian-Ellis-accused-of-sex-assault-resigns-from-state-house
Pennsylvania State Rep. Brian Ellis has resigned six days after a woman accusing him of sexual assault filed a formal complaint with the state's House Republican leadership. Ellis, whose district is in Butler County near Pittsburgh, denies allegations that he had sex with a woman in late 2015 while she was incapacitated and without her consent. The investigation into the alleged incident is ongoing. In an announcement Monday, Ellis said he would resign effective immediately. "It is with immense gratitude to the sacrifices made by my family, the support of my constituents, and the friendship of my colleagues that I have concluded that it is in the best interests of my family, the residents of the 11th House District, and my own health that I resign from the General Assembly," said Ellis, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. In a statement last week, Ellis' law firm described the accusations as "just plain false" and an effort to "generate sensational press coverage." Jennifer Storm, an advocate who has acted as a spokesperson for the woman, called Ellis' decision to resign a sign that there is "a new day in Harrisburg."

https://lawandcrime.com/the-great-threshing/popular-anti-trump-dem-accused-of-coercing-17-year-old-to-perform-oral-sex/
Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach is a member of the Democratic Party who has cultivated a large online following for his vociferous, withering and occasionally swear-worded attacks on President Donald Trump. Now Leach is facing calls to resign over renewed allegations of sexual misconduct.
According to Penn Live, Cara Taylor recently submitted a private criminal complaint to dozens of Pennsylvania lawmakers alleging that Leach coerced her into performing oral sex on her when she was 17-years-old-a minor under Pennsylvania law. Leach vehemently denies the claims and believes they are the work of partisan opponents.
"[The allegations] are preposterous," Leach said Thursday. "I have never even so much as shaken hands with Cara Taylor."
In 1991, at the time of the disputed incident, Leach was 30-years-old and defending Taylor's mother in a criminal case.
In response to the allegation, Democratic Governor Tom Wolf reiterated his opinion-from two years ago-that Leach should resign.
In 2017, former campaign and legislate staffers said that Leach often crossed the lines of propriety by making sex jokes and-in two cases-with unwanted touching that made women feel uncomfortable. Leach generally denied the allegations but also apologized "for ever saying or doing anything that has made anyone uneasy, uncomfortable, or distressed."
At the time, Wolf and others called on Leach to resign.
"Governor Wolf's position on Senator Leach has never changed," Wolf's spokesperson J.J. Abbott said on Friday while addressing sexual assault allegations against Republican State Representative Brian Ellis.
In a lengthy statement titled "Why I am Suing" released on Thursday, Leach rubbished the accusations.
In politics, one is often attacked, sometimes in highly personal, dishonest and misleading ways," Leach's statement reads. "However, recently I became a target in a way that is beyond what a public official would normally expect, and most human beings could endure. As a result people I've never met feel free to call me names on social media, and spread all kinds of rumors, no matter how bizarre, improbable or impossible they are."
The statement continued:
[A] small group of 6-8 people has now taken to showing up at my events, storming in, screaming obscenities at people, and holding up horrific and defamatory signs. They, led by a convicted perjurer, are also posting provably false stories on social media, circulating them to my colleagues, and demanding that I be uninvited to events.
The Democratic state senator also said he was readying readying a defamation lawsuit to be filed within the "next couple of days."
"I will file a lawsuit for defamation in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County against some of the leaders of the effort to defame me," Leach noted. "Everyone involved, including myself, will testify under oath and the truth will be revealed."
Meanwhile, Senate Democratic Party leaders in the Keystone State-which is actually a commonwealth-have retained outside counsel to investigate the sexual misconduct allegation against Leach.
"I've asked outside legal counsel to review the matter and provide me with a report as it relates to what's been alleged in [Taylor's] complaint," Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa said on Thursday. "That's our next step."
