Back to EpisodesEp. 21 / Jason Lewis sets record straight on DC 'swamp,' Trump and 'cancel culture' media
Description
Jason Lewis wanted to finish what he started.
His time in Congress was cut short, one of more than 20 casualties of the Trump midterms, when Democrats picked up a net total of over 40 seats in the House.
One of his regrets: he didn’t fight back hard enough.
That’s why he wrote “Party Animal: The Truth About President Trump, Power Politics and the Partisan Press.”
“Yet no one defied these rules more than Donald Trump. And so did I. But not nearly enough. This book is an attempt to finish the job and tell the real side of the story,” Lewis writes in the introduction.
In "Party Animal," Lewis, a former congressman from Minnesota's Second District and veteran broadcaster, shares a vivid account of the radical left, the media, and politics in the public arena during the Trump presidency.
