GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- As Washington D.C. prepares for the inauguration of Donald Trump on Friday, U.S. Rep. Justin Amash is spending part of the week in Grand Rapids meeting with his constituents.

The GOP congressman will host a town hall meeting on Tuesday evening at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, at 303 Pearl St. NW., in downtown Grand Rapids.

The Jan. 17 public gathering will be from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Traditionally, Amash gives a Washington, D.C., update before opening the floor to questions.

In recent months, Amash has generated attention for standing up to the president-elect on social media.

Most recently, he called Trump out for his retaliatory barrage of tweets on U.S. Rep. John Lewis, claiming the Civil Rights leader was "all talk" and "no action." Trump lashed out at the Democratic lawmaker for saying he didn't see the Republican leader as a "legitimate president" and planned to skip his inauguration.

"Dude, just stop," Amash tweeted on Saturday evening, linking to a tweet from Trump. A number of Democrat and Republican lawmakers also criticized Trump's Twitter frenzy, but Amash's succinct missive resonated in the Twitter-sphere, with more than 17,000 liking the post.
