On the Wisconsin Morning News, I shared my experience meeting Andrew Breitbart in 2010 and described what an inspiration he was to so many in the conservative movement.
Peter Schweizer, author and president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), stated about Breitbart: “I just remember having conversations with him about how to actually read a news story. In Andrew’s way, he didn’t sit down and lecture you about it,” he said. “We had a casual conversation about something else, and he would offer these insights. He had a profound impact on me, the way that I consume information, and that has helped me in the work I do.”
He was the first conservative to suggest that those in the mainstream media were producing fake news – a precursor to Donald Trump.
Listen to Breitbart’s final speech at CPAC 2012, less than a month before he passed away. I miss his bold and courageous leadership in America. The legacy of Andrew Breitbart lives on!
“I want to end it on a media-bashing note…we’re going to hold you to the same standard that you hold us…”
Be like Andrew. Be Brave. Do Something.
