Back in January, in the early days of the new Nazi congress, there was only one vote against an anti-Semitism monitoring bill put forward by Chris Smith, a Republican from New Jersey. It would be tempting to assume the no vote came from rabid anti-Semites Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. But it didn’t. Instead, the only no vote on the anti-Semitism bill came from Michigan “Republican” anti-Semite Justin Amash. You might want to call him China Justin for all his and his brother’s business dealings in China.

Chris Smith, the New Jersey Republican who is trying to push through a bill that would enhance the role of the anti-Semitism monitor, put out a news release minutes after it passed the US House of Representatives and noted it was approved “overwhelmingly.”
Legislators love to describe support for their bills as “overwhelming,” but the word they love even more is “unanimous.” Only one vote kept Smith from tasting that victory, and it was by a fellow Republican: Justin Amash of Michigan.
Amash was asked directly on Twitter about his only no vote and he was not forthcoming. Imagine that.
