Michigan’s Amash was one of only two congressmen to vote against the resolution today:
Rep Justin Amash R-MI & Rep Tom Massie R-KY the only two "No" votes on a resolution condemning North Korea nukes
— Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) February 15, 2013
Here is what Amash said:
@wmthos @repthomasmassie I do condemn N Korea for hostile actions. I recognize that call for further sanctions, isolationism is bad policy.
— Justin Amash (@justinamash) February 15, 2013
It’s not as if Congress was voting on taking military action against North Korea. Why not go on the Congressional record condemning North Korea’s actions?
If you claim to support & love liberty you better denounce nations like North Korea. Looking at you Amash!

Amash has found himself in hot water with many conservatives as of late. This move isn’t likely to assuage their concerns:

What's with @RepJustinAmash? He opposed condemning North Korea for its nuclear test? Explanation please?

#endorse RT @keder: Epic failure Rep. Justin Amash can't bring himself to vote to condemn North Korea? Big defender of liberty. #loser

Ditto. Perhaps @repjustinamash should watch Team America for some lessons on North Korea. At his intellectual level. @JasonBWhitman

Anyone with a brain, heart, and soul would denounce North Korea. Looking at you Amash.
