MILWAUKEE — The conservative policy director and attorney behind the Project 2025 manifesto took to the stage at a Republican National Convention sponsor's event to mock liberals' fear over the conservative movement's plan to transform the federal government under a second Trump administration — all while laying out a vision to take down the so-called "deep state."
"I think that that's what's really gotten under the left's collar, is that this is really a way for us to make sure when we ultimately get in in the driver's seat, that we're ready to move out," said Paul Dans, the Project 2025 director who served as chief of staff and White House liaison at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management under Trump.
