The President of The Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, was getting immense pressure on social media, in legacy media aritcles and elsewhere to condemn or cancel Tucker Carlson for the having Nick Fuentes as a guest. Roberts initially refused.
In response, he created a video (linked below) in which he articulated the issue and explained his position. He stated, articulately and quite professionally, that while he disagrees with "and even abhors things Nick Fuentes says..." "canceling him is not the answer either." Kevin suggested the American way; defeating Fuentes with ideas and debate.
For the simple act of refusing demands to participate in cancel culture and not offer Tucker's head on a platter, Roberts is likely finished. The big (Israel lobby) money immediately started pulling away and a long-standing staff member has already been fired - or "resigned" in sacrifice.
After two of their members quit, HF's "National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism" made the following demands.
- Robert's remove the video he created refusing to condemn or cancel Tucker.
- Roberts issue an "apology to those Christians and Jews who are steadfast members of the - conservative movement and believe that Israel has a special role to play both biblically and politically."
- "Condemnation of any content that Tucker Carlson has hosted or statements he has made' that they consider antisemitic.
- " Hiring a visiting fellow who shares mainstream conservative views on Israel, Jews, and Christian Zionists - who would help identify strategies and tools to win Gen Z...."
- Host Shabbat dinners (lol) "with the interns and junior staff of Heritage in partnership with Heritage to host conversations on Judaism and the Judeo-Christian tradition."
Roberts has now apologized, kissed the proper rings and is in full simp mode. The rest of the demands from the NTFCA will undoubtedly be fulfilled.

Jewish groups bail from Heritage over Tucker Carlson
Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz condemn Heritage Foundation
I don’t understand why people use the word Zionist as a bad word. I’m a Zionist.
The heritage fellow!/ statement was extremely disappointing. I’m glad somebody is challenging him about it.
How was I using it as a bad word? It’s just another way of describing someone who is very pro Israel.
Now they are trying to cancel Brett Cooper another Daily Wire alum. They’re calling her the “white Candace” lol.
Nick Fuentes - one more Jew Hating nobody.
Tucker Carlson - working hard to become the next Jew Hating nobody.
The who what? Some self-appointed bunch of scolds?
You cannot offend the master race.... oops, I mean God’s chosen people and nation state. Hopefully they come up with a final solution in Gaza and we can all worry about American things again.
Maybe one more topic, what does Judaism and the Talmud say about Jesus?
It would be nice to spend one day without the news being full of Islam, Israel, Ukraine etc.
Tired of all this foreign crap filling our news and political leaders heads. These Israel first jerks, these loudmouth palestinians, Ukrainians etc all need to be whipped back into their cages and let America take center stage for a while.
Have you watched Tucker’s interview of Nick Fuentes? He has been cancelled. You should hear all they have done.
That wasn't good enough for HF's "National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism", which made a list of demands forcing Roberts to submissively cower. I didn't know that the Anti-Defamation League had moles in the Heritage Foundation, this task force seems to be mimicking the ADL's tactics of intimidation, slander, and extortion.
I am troubled by some of Tucker’s recent pronouncements, but purity tests about who someone associates with, or does not condemn bother me.
The Nodzis practiced the Ant Theory of Discipline. Whenever an ant gets out of line, you squash him without mercy or remorse as an example to the others. That’s all this is. Conform or I’ll kill you. That’s not conservatism, that’s totalitarianism.
