Recently I wrote an article saying @SpeakerPelosi is not a progressive. She has now proved my point spectacularly. When @justinamash is to the left of you, you might not be a progressive!

If anyone is still paying attention to him after his shenanigans in 2016, it is now well past time to toss him to the wind and ignore him completely due to nonsense like this.

1. Cenk is in love with his own thoughts too much

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Well, you know what they say about opinions.

3. How is he wrong on the impeachment point?

Really? Amash is ahead of Pelosi. She needs to catch up.

11. Really? This guy

His voting record: https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/105566/justin-amash

Right Wingers sure do love him:

This was the guy that cried about missing the vote to take away health care from Americans:

12. He isn't, on impeachment. nt

4. Well, Cenk was a long term conservative, after all.

That said, I'm not going to turn away Amash's comments. I think he could be very helpful in the long run and he did comport himself well in his public forum.

5. Cenk's always seemed more about the self promotion than anything else.

6. People still listen to them?

Surprising, at least around here. I think they've proven to not be our friends.

7. No thanks.

They do not support t-Rump, nor do I. Time for impeachment, Cenk is correct.

[we can do it]

9. Cenk is an ass.

[dogman]

10. Nope. he is correct.

[shanny]

13. Immaterial. He is right.

We can call it a broken clock moment if it makes us feel better, but he is right on this.

[we can do it]

14. One item does not equal "more progressive"🙄

[we can do it]

8. Why was anyone paying attention to him in the first place?

[JI7]

15. how about Bernie Sanders ? he hasn't called for impeachment like others

either.

[lillypaddle]

16. I "abandoned" him years ago

he needs to STFU and sit down.

[NewJeffCT]

17. that's a facepalm worthy comment

Amash wanting to impeach Trump is from a strict "true" conservative Point of View

[obamanut2012]

18. "Time to"?

I did, years ago -- I have no idea why anyone has ever thought they are liberals, let alone progressive.

[MineralMan]

19. STFU, Cenk. There's a good lad.
