Shownotes Transcript

In 2018, Miles Taylor anonymously authored a New York Times op-ed titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration”). At the time, Miles worked in a senior role in the Department of Homeland security. 

Eventually, after Trump asked him and other officials to break the law, Miles quit. He decided to author a book, again anonymously, titled A Warning), which described in detail the morally gray, and sometimes blatantly illegal orders that came from the President.

In the lead up to the 2020 election, Miles felt it was important to reveal himself as the anonymous author of both the op-ed, and the book.

Now, he’s created the Renew America Movement), an organization dedicated to giving a voice to the ‘rational’ republicans who won’t subscribe to the right-wing extremism of Donald Trump.
