Do What You Said You Would Do: Fighting for Freedom in the Swamp

Contact Your Elected Officials

Do What You Said You Would Do: Fighting for Freedom in the Swamp is an inside look at the detailed investigations of the United States Congress, the groundwork for Donald Trumpโ€™s win in 2016, and the events that occurred during his successful four years as president in Do What You Said You Would Do.

When I woke up on October 2, 2020, I figured it would be like most Fridays in DC. Congress would finish up the week with a few votes on the House Floor and then members would rush to Reagan National Airport to catch a flight home. Polly and I had a mid-afternoon flight; however, we werenโ€™t headed home. We were going to Wisconsin to help a colleague raise funds and to attend the Presidentโ€™s rally in Green Bayโ€ฆ. As I started to put on my workout gear before heading to the House gym, I took a look at my phone. I noticed I had several text messages and missed phone calls from Russell Dye, the top media staffer for our personal office and for Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. Some of the calls and messages were from after midnightโ€ฆ. I called him right away.

โ€œWhatโ€™s going on?โ€ I asked.

He responded, โ€œSir, the president has the virus!โ€

I turned on the TV. It was the only story.โ€ฆ I had traveled to Cleveland with the president three days earlierโ€”I knew Iโ€™d have to quarantine until I got tested. Iโ€™d been tested before the flight to Cleveland, but that wouldnโ€™t matter now. Iโ€™d have to get a new test. No workout this morning, no flight to Wisconsin this afternoonโ€ฆ. First things first. I was scheduled for a Fox and Friends interview that morning in the eight oโ€™clock hour. I grabbed a quick shower and then headed to the office to prep for the interview. We were supposed to discuss the election and how the president was doing in Ohio. But we knew the only topic would be the president contracting the virusโ€ฆ. An hour later I got tested in the House physicianโ€™s office.โ€ฆ On that drive home Polly and I talked about all that had transpired that morning. We talked about the president and first lady, and like millions of other Americans, we prayed for their health and for our country. Over the weekend I thought about that dayโ€”that one dayโ€”Friday, October 2, 2020: it was really a picture of the entire year. 2020 was about the virus and the presidential election. 2020 was all about politics.
