A conservative Republican congressman said Friday that, contrary to President Donald Trump's claims that some Republicans had changed their votes on the American Health Care Act, the bill “remains a disaster.”

The comment came in a tweet from Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), shortly after President Donald Trump praised what he characterized as a successful meeting with members of the Republican Study Committee, meant to find a consensus on the bill.

In a press availability after the meeting Thursday, Trump said, referring to the dozen-or-so congresspeople in the room, "100 percent of the noes are now yeses."

Amash said last week that House leadership was trying to “ram this through,” the Congress, referring to the Affordable Health Care Act. He told CNN that “the problem actually is that they’re not working with Democrats.”

7. Just how many personalities do you think the Con has? Seriously!

How can anyone that is well behave like this, without missing a beat....from one chaotic event to another and another and another......we're all exhausted from the fight and the worry. We need to eat healthy, get plenty of sleep in order to stay on top of this conman and his henchmen that are stealing our country. If we all sleep at the same time we'll be waking up to the tune of muther ru$$ia!
