Amash: Obama will meet with rapper but not me
Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) on Monday chided President Obama for meeting with his favorite rapper but not finding time to talk with the lawmaker about civil liberties.
{mosads}”Yet he won’t meet with me to discuss civil liberties and surveillance issues despite repeated requests,” Amash tweeted.
The prominent libertarian lawmaker has been a vocal critic of the Obama administration on National Security Agency surveillance and other issues.
Obama met with Lamar in late October, when the musician was in Washington for a performance at the Kennedy Center, according to the White House.
The White House did not have an immediate comment on Amash.
