Scott Walker will be the new head of the Young America's Foundation, which spends tens of millions of dollars to to pay speakers like Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter to go on campus. Because the marketplace of ideas sometimes needs a hefty subsidy! 1/

Let's check out some of YAF's speakers that Scott Walker will be overseeing. There is George "Macaca" Allen, and Herman Cain, last seen exiting the Republican primaries after sexual harassment allegations. Liz Cheney, who denounced gay marriage despite having a gay sister! 2/

Stacey Dash best known for Clueless. Steven Crowder who gut demonitized from YouTube (do you know how hard it is to get punished by YouTube) for harassing a journalist. And the human equivalent of the Washington Generals, Dinesh D'Souza! 3/

Scott Walker must be excited to promote Erick Erickson another YAF speaker given Erickson's track record of calling for civil discourse in between pushing conspiracy theories and attacking Parkland survivors. 4/ mediamatters.org/blog/2018/10/0…

And given Walker's um...checkered history...with campaign contributions, he will have so much in common with YAF speaker Nigel Farage, who has his own legal problems with illegal financial donations.

Ok, gotta speed it up a bit here. Kudos to Scott Walker for now promoting Ted Nugent, who called President Obama a "subhuman mongrel" and criminal convict James O' Keefe. So much wisdom to impart to the kids! 6/

Other YAF speakers: Matt Walsh, who thinks that certain people - a lot of people really - should not be allowed to vote. And Jesse Watters, who made his name by harassing people in Chinatown!
Scott Walker will bring these luminaries to *your* campus! 7/

Anyway, I could go on, but you get the idea. Full list of YAF speakers here. They are the very best people only by Trumpian standards. yaf.org/speakers/#find… 8/

Finally, let me note the irony of @scottwalker being put in charge of a campus organization. As Governor he sought to remove the "search for truth" in his state's university system mission statement, undercut tenure, and cut the budget by $250M. He is no friend to campus. 9/
