These Four GOP Congressmen Lay It All Out in New 'Swamp' Docu-series

[Townhall] Four Republican congressman hold nothing back in dishing about their gripes with Washington in a new video series that will be released on Facebook next week.

Reps. Tom Garrett (R-Va.), Ken Buck (R-Colo.), Dave Brat (R-Va.) and Rod Blum (R-Iowa) each tell their stories about fighting the system in a trailer for "The Swamp," which was obtained by The Hill.

In the 2:25 clip, the congressmen show what goes on behind the scenes in Washington, taking on former House Speaker John Boehner and former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by name.

Blum, for example, spoke of a time Boehner scolded him.

"[Boehner] pointed to me and said, ’I just want you to know around here, we don't reward bad behavior,’" Blum says. "This is bullshit. You know, I'm a grown adult who’s accomplished something in life ‐ I don't need you telling me what is right or wrong."

Cantor’s defeat was also highlighted.

"The machine said, 'No, you can't run for that seat,' and I said, 'I don't understand this machine thing,'" Brat says about the 2014 GOP primary.

#1 "All decisions are made at the top." Yes, we sort of gathered that.

"All my life I tried to go up in society, where everything higher up was legal. But the higher I go, the crookeder it becomes. Where the hell does it end?"
