Americans For Prosperity, the conservative organizing organization funded by the Koch brothers, took a victory lap late Tuesday night after Gov. Scott Walker (R) won the recall battle in Wisconsin. AFP and other conservative groups pumped millions into the recall fight, vastly outspending Democrats and their allies and leading to criticism from Democratic supporters after Walker won. Conservatives cast Walker as a national hero of their movement and videos like this one are part of the effort by conservative groups to claim part of the credit for winning what the right sees as a key victory ahead of the national elections in November.
