The Wisconsin governor will speak at the group’s Defending the American Dream summit, a three day event beginning Aug. 2, giving the governor and the free market group that backed him a victory lap in DC. The group’s press release quotes Walker as saying:
Americans For Prosperity backed Walker throughout his efforts to reform state public employee unions, the subsequent protests and the gubernatorial recall bid. Critics of Walker used the group’s ties to the billionaire Koch brothers to tie Walker to them.
The August event, which is being put on by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, AFP’s 501(c)3 branch, will also feature speeches by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., columnist Michelle Malkin, radio host Mark Levin, American Enterprise Institute President Arthur Brooks and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
