Hello, everyone! Thank you for inviting me to do this. Many of you may know my background. I'm a former CIA operations officer (aka operative) who also served as the chief policy director for the House Republican Conference before launching an independent presidential campaign in 2016. I have been concerned that President Trump presents a danger to our republic and to liberal democracy in general and have been a vocal opponent. Mindy Finn and I recently launched Stand Up Republic, which is a bipartisan organization designed to promote and defend democratic ideals, norms, and institutions in America. Please follow me on Twitter where I'm most active @Evan_McMullin and on Facebook.
