Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) criticized House Speaker John Boehner for throwing his support behind President Obama's today.



"It was a mistake," Rep. Amash said on Laura Ingraham's radio program on Friday. "Our constituents have a very different position and if you’re the speaker of the House or the leader and you’re going to take a position in support of the war, which is contrary to what the vast majority of Americans believe [...] it might be nice to call up your GOP conference and say, ‘Hey, this is what we plan to do,’ but we didn’t get any of that.”



"I think there is a fundamental miscalculation that keeps happening with respect to what the American people think," Amash told Ingraham. "And it seems to me that there is a lot people here in Washington who spend too much time in the beltway and they are talking to the same people and there is an echo chamber going go and they don't get home to talk to constituents."



"Unfortunately, it's the establishment politicians who are running the show right now and the American people are demanding a change. I can't tell you how many times I've heard from constituents it's time for a third party," Amash also said.
