Heritage staff in open revolt over leader’s defense of Tucker Carlson (www.washingtonpost.com)

The Heritage Foundation is erupting in open revolt against its president, Kevin Roberts, as the right-wing think tank struggles to deal with internal and external anger over his defense of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The furor began after Carlson invited Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist who routinely espouses antisemitic views, onto his popular podcast. Roberts then posted a video that castigated a “venomous coalition” and “the globalist class” for attacking Carlson, whom Roberts called “a close friend of the Heritage Foundation.” Numerous Heritage staffers and conservative figures said the comments played on antisemitic tropes.

Tucker is openly anti Israeli genocide and Isreali money in American politics. They’re angry about one of like two things thing he’s actually right about lol. I guess the heritage foundation is really dedicated to being completely wrong and against the majority of the American public opinion on every issue. It is glorious to see that maga is fracturing and turning on itself though
