Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, will give one of the first addresses of CPAC 2021.
Among the major speakers who will hit on the topic Friday is Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. His speech is titled Why the Left Hates the Bill of Rights . and We Love It.
Lee will be one of the first speakers of CPAC, immediately following a welcome speech from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Lee s talk will be followed by a panel on the First Amendment during which a different speaker will break down each of the fundamental freedoms provided in the amendment. Among them, former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is the current Young America s Foundation president, will address freedom of speech; Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., will talk about freedom of religion; and coronavirus lockdown skeptic Alex Berenson will talk about freedom of the press.
