The Heritage Foundation’s Kevin Roberts is walking back his defense of Tucker Carlson.
Carlson caused a major stir on the right last week when he decided to interview Nick Fuentes, a known white supremacist and Hitler fan. The interview was immediately flamed by conservative Jews, who condemned the ex–Fox News host’s decision to elevate Fuentes’s talking points.
Despite the opposition, Roberts released a video on X Thursday in support of Carlson and Fuentes, noting that while he disagreed with Fuentes’s beliefs, he did not believe that the “venomous” coalition “cancelling” the Christian nationalist Holocaust-denier had an appropriate reaction to the interview.
Since then, the Heritage Foundation has been embroiled in internal controversy, with at least one staffer exiting the institution over the mess. Roberts addressed the schism Wednesday.
“I made a mistake and I let you down and I let down this institution. Period. Full Stop,” the conservative think tank’s president told employees at an all-staff meeting, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
Imagine being evil enough to work for the Heritage Foundation, but having to leave in disgust, on account of them being far too evil for you to tolerate.
just like when the nazis during ww2 viewed americans policies against POCs were too far gone for thier liking.
“Shhhh we don’t talk about that in these parts, Dr. Von Braun.”
How many layers of leopards eating other leopard’s faces have we reached at this point?
Each leopard is only able to see and feel their own face being eaten. That’s the beauty of the “conservative” mind.
They could be in a room with 100 other leopards and will be surprised that their face got eaten after 95 others’ faces got eaten.
Where the leopard’s😉
Not too evil, just a different kind of evil. Like my daughter not liking Strawberry Ice cream. Wrong flavour.
