“co-chair an event at The Center For American Progress” I would like to see more information on this. I missed that piece of news and it shows he has connections.
The name that links the two is Col. Elspeth Ritchie, M.D. They co-chaired an event at the AMA and she was a featured speaker at The American Center For Progress (which was postponed according to the website). This was during the time when the left was using a ‘report’ on suicides in the military to drum up anti-war sentiments. I was slightly mistaken though in that they co-chaired an event at the CFAP.It was an event at the AMA and she later went on to give lectures at the The Center For American Progress. See this thread:
