Former Minnesota Congressman and broadcast veteran Jason Lewis’s vivid account of the radical left, the media and politics in the public arena during the Trump presidency. From Washington to Minneapolis; from the White House to the epicenter of the worst rioting since the 1960s; Lewis was in the middle of it all. The early successes, the failed midterms and his tumultuous campaign for the US Senate in 2020 in the midst of historic chaos in his home state. Party Animal is a policy prescription from a former member of Congress who was described as “a serious policy wonk” for his work in the 115th Congress. But it’s also the talk radio host unplugged—setting the record straight on the America First movement and how a new revolutionary 'squad' of extremists is trying to undo it. If you want to know what it was really like being member of Congress while a politicized ‘swamp’ desperately tried to bring down the Trump presidency, then read this fascinating tale of what was actually achieved and what might have been. It's a first hand look at life on the ground in an era marked by polarizing dysfunction. The ups and downs, the ins and outs, the good, the bad and the really ugly during one of the most tumultuous times in modern history.
