US EditionHeritage Foundation President Apologizes for Defending Tucker Carlson in Leaked Staff Meeting
- On Wednesday, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts apologized to staff for refusing to condemn Tucker Carlson after his friendly interview with Nick Fuentes and admitted he had let down the institution.
- Roberts had posted a video last week defending Carlson, with the script written by Ryan Neuhaus, who misled Roberts about approval and later resigned.
- During a tense, two-hour all-hands meeting, Heritage staff challenged Roberts's leadership and warned his stance gravely damaged ties with Jewish partners, as Project Esther collaborators cut ties.
- Several longtime fellows and legal scholars at Heritage told Kevin Roberts they no longer had confidence, and Roberts said he had offered his resignation to Heritage's board of directors but felt a moral obligation to stay.
- The episode underscored ideological rifts within the conservative movement as younger Heritage staff questioned pro-Israel priorities, while Robert Rector, Heritage veteran of 47 years, invoked William F. Buckley Jr. and said `I hope you know who he is`.
