This person is not a hero. As Chief of Staff at DHS, he played a critical role in the family separation policy, which he didn't even bother to mention in his anonymous op-ed. Instead he choose to milk his status as an "anonymous" member of the Trump administration to sell books.

A few days ago, Taylor said the reason the Trump administration couldn't find the parents of 545 migrant children was that their parents didn't want them
These were children who were separated by Trump administration policy that he helped administer
(He deleted the tweet.)

While these kids are without their parents, Taylor has parlayed his position in the Trump administration into a gig with Google, a contract with CNN, and a book deal
This is not courage. It's grift.

Taylor was not an observer. He actively helped sell the Trump administration's child separation policy.

Here is Taylor lying about it on CNN in August. AFTER he had left the Trump administration. What an inspiration.

I'll also add that the entire gambit was a scam. The Chief of Staff at DHS is not a "Senior Administration Official" by any serious definition.
If the Chief of Staff of DHS wrote a book about Trump, very few people would have bought it.
But "anonymous" sold a lot of copies
