Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) said on July 4 that Rep. Justin Amash should also lose his committee seats now that the Michigan lawmaker is exiting the Republican Party.

“Amash left the @freedomcaucus now he’s leaving the @GOP. The @HouseGOP never left @justinamash - we simply ran out of space for his ego. However, we should make sure he leaves Conference and his committee,” Walker, who is the vice chairman of the House Republic Conference, said in a Twitter post.
