For more than 20 years, I’ve been in this fight. I’ve stood by bold leaders, principled fighters, and yes, I’ve sometimes put my faith in people who turned out to be turncoats. That’s part of the cost of being in the arena. But if we start judging people on Day One—before we’ve even seen the fruit of their labor—we risk pushing out the very people we prayed for and fought to elevate. Worse, we risk inviting the opportunists back in.
Let me ask you:
Have you been personally targeted by a weaponized federal government?
Have you watched your friends and allies get audited, prosecuted, or imprisoned on dubious charges?
Have you seen your livelihood threatened by shadowy forces embedded deep in our institutions?
I have. Dan has. Kash has. Ed Martin has. We aren’t armchair critics. We’re in this fight—not for attention, but for principle.
We worked, prayed, and fought to get in positions where we could help steer this country back to sanity. And now, because some wins are taking too long, some of you want to light the house on fire?
Let’s zoom out.
What about what’s not happening?
No one on our side is being arrested or imprisoned on trumped-up charges. We are not witnessing political targeting in the way we were. The machinery of government isn’t being used to root through people’s lives in the hopes of inventing a crime. Investigations are now, as they should be, focused on actual wrongdoing—not on destroying lives for ideological sport.
That is a monumental shift. That’s the constitutional mandate we’ve been fighting for. And it’s progress.
So to the impatient warriors: take a breath. Take stock. If you’re no longer living in fear of being politically targeted, thank God—and thank those who fought to make it so.
You don’t win a war by deserting your allies mid-battle. You win it by holding the line, keeping the faith, and remembering that sometimes, the absence of injustice is proof that we are, in fact, winning.
