Republican U.S. Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, who has been at odds with the President Donald Trump administration, delivered some tough words Monday regarding House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Speaking to several hundred constituents during a town hall meeting at Cedar Springs High School in west Michigan, the Cascade Township Republican suggested Ryan play a “nonpartisan” role focused more on process than politics, writes Jonathan Oosting of The Detroit News.
“We can fix it, but we need either a change in direction from this speaker, or we need a new speaker,” Amash said.
Recently, Amash and other members of the conservative Freedom Caucus opposed Trump's health care bill. It has put him in a less than favorable light with the Trump administration.
