GOP Rep. Amash Calls Out Trump on Twitter Over Foreign Government Ties

A GOP lawmaker from Michigan took on Donald Trump on Twitter late Monday, calling out the president-elect for his foreign government ties the same way Trump called out Hillary Clinton for hers.

Justin Amash, 36, a five-year Rep., replied to an earlier Tweet from Trump and reminded him to #DrainTheSwamp.

You rightly criticized Hillary for Clinton Foundation. If you have contracts w/foreign govts, it's certainly a big deal, too. #DrainTheSwamp https://t.co/boUkAfbF6S

Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the world.Only the crooked media makes this a big deal!

This wasn't Amash's first rebuke of Trump. He also criticized the billionaire developer in early October after the release of the audiotape that caught Trump on a hot mic making lewd comments about women and his ability as a star to do whatever he wanted with them, including touching them without their permission.

Character matters. @realDonaldTrump has been saying outrageous, offensive things the whole time. He should have stepped aside long ago.

Amash supported Sen. Ted Cruz during the GOP primary.
