Ahh, sorry to hear it. I believe he did a good job for Ron despite the witch hunt charges and scandal. I guess the Feds can give up the charges of Russian collusion on him and focus on Hillary and the DNC. Naw, not gonna happen.
R.I.P.

Conservative Political Commentator Doug Wead, a Lifelong Pentecostal, Dies at 75

Conservative political commentator and New York Times bestselling author Doug Wead, author of the 2019 book Inside Trump's White House: The Real Story of His Presidency, was removed from a ventilator and died of heart failure Friday after suffering a massive stroke a week ago. Wead was 75 years old.

Wead, who wrote more than 40 books and was an active participant in the 2000 U.S. presidential election, receiving some credit for George Bush's victory in the Iowa straw polls of 1999, was an insider in the Bush family, according to Time magazine, and was the man who coined the phrase, "compassionate conservative."

Wead's son, Scott, confirmed to Charisma News Friday that Wead suffered a massive stroke last week. He had been in the hospital since and suffered two heart attacks there. He was in a coma and had previously asked family members that he not be kept alive on life support. He died Friday after being taken off the ventilator.

Scott Wead says that, more than anything, his father wanted to be known as a student of history and as a man with a compassionate heart.

"The last years of his life, Dad was a presidential historian, a student of history," Scott says. "So many historians try to take God out of history and rewrite the history books. Dad made a point to interview presidents, including President Donald Trump. He wanted to include stories and testimonies from the lives of our presidents to make sure those stories were preserved. For the last 20 years, he spent a lot of time authoring books on history and on the raising of a president. He was a television personality, and he was an avid reader.
...
After Joe Biden was elected president of the United States in November 2020, Wead told Strang on an ensuing episode of The Strang Report that Christians needed to get involved politically before our freedoms disappear.
...
In 1992, Wead ran for U.S. Congress in Arizona's 6th Congressional District and won the Republican nomination by proposing a tax limit. He also received praise from former President Ronald Reagan for his humanitarian efforts.

"And Doug Wead, your excellent service in government at the White House and in the private sector, leading the effort for famine relief in Africa and Asia is a reminder that wherever we work, we can work to serve others," Reagan once said.

He also earned the praise of Trump in 2019 when Trump tweeted, "Great writer and historian, Doug Wead, has written a true (Not Fake News) account of what is going on in Washington and in the White House. His new book, 'INSIDE TRUMP's WHITE HOUSE,' is an incredible description of a very exciting and successful time in our country's history."

Wead was also a senior adviser to the Ron Paul 2012 and 2016 presidential campaigns.

Guess campaign secret is dead with him too.

I was counting on him to tell us about things that happened during Ron's 2012 campaign. He said maybe after 20 years he could talk about it.
