This could get ugly.

Dan Scavino, a Senior Advisor to Donald Trump and his Social Media guru sent out a tweet this morning, calling for a primary challenger to face Justin Amash, of Michigan.

.@realDonaldTrump is bringing auto plants & jobs back to Michigan. @justinamash is a big liability.#TrumpTrain, defeat him in primary.

Amash is a member of the House Freedom Caucus that played a key role in the defeat of the “Repeal and Replace” bill that many have called “ObamaCare Lite”. Rep. Amash has not been quiet about his opposition to the bill which failed to receive a vote last week, calling it “SwampCare”.

Didn't vote for #Swampcare because it's just another version of #Obamacare—and just as dysfunctional (which is pretty hard to pull off). https://t.co/qSYB1AO6BP

Attacking Conservatives has become the theme of the week for the Trump administration and as our own Jay Caruso pointed out earlier… we shouldn’t be surprised.
