Another major conservative bolts Heritage Foundation as backlash to its president’s defense of Tucker Carlson’s Nick Fuentes interview grows
The New York Post ^ | November 18, 2025 | Ariel Zilber

Posted on 11/18/2025 5:01:51 AM PST by AAABEST

A senior conservative legal scholar who holds one of Princeton University’s top academic chairs has resigned from the Heritage Foundation’s board in protest of the think tank president’s defense of Tucker Carlson’s interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Robert P. George, long regarded as one of the right’s leading constitutional thinkers, is the latest figure to step down amid an internal revolt that has already prompted at least seven other staffers, fellows and task-force members to sever ties.

One of the premiere conservative voices - created to promote Ronald Reagan's brand of conservatism - is being completely ruined. This comes just as Trump refused to play their game and throw Tucker under the bus.

Bend the knee or be destroyed by the Israel lobby. Not a single word of any of this on Fox News.

Is that the same thing the Gaza terrorists said when they threw a baby in an oven?

Antisemites have a very very dark future. Genuine Christians love Israel and those take captive by the adversary hate Israel. It really is that simple, even for the simple minded, and they will be without excuse when the Messiah returns.

There is a real fight going on in the GOP between those that want Fuentes purged and those that want Jews purged. I wish it wasn’t either/or, but that’s the reality. I still think Mark Levin & Ben Shapiro are much better & valuable. Also, I grew up Jewish, so it’s personal. If Fuentes wins, I won’t be accepted anymore anyway. I’ll be accused of being part of the “lobby” any time I question pro-Palestinian policies.

Heritage needs conservatives.

Conservativism doesn’t require Heritage.

Correct; this is Nazi Germany in its infancy again, and "Never Again" does not mean it can't or won't happen again; it will happen again and again until the coming of the Glorious Messiah in the clouds. The adversary is on this earth and hates Israel and the Jews in the Diaspora with an eternal and demonic hatred.

True; today's Mass Reading is a reminder of this ancient evil.

Reading I
2 Maccabees 6:18-31

Eleazar, one of the foremost scribes,
a man of advanced age and noble appearance,
was being forced to open his mouth to eat pork. 
But preferring a glorious death to a life of defilement,
he spat out the meat,
and went forward of his own accord to the instrument of torture,
as people ought to do who have the courage to reject the food
which it is unlawful to taste even for love of life. 
Those in charge of that unlawful ritual meal took the man aside privately,
because of their long acquaintance with him,
and urged him to bring meat of his own providing,
such as he could legitimately eat,
and to pretend to be eating some of the meat of the sacrifice
prescribed by the king;
in this way he would escape the death penalty,
and be treated kindly because of their old friendship with him.
But Eleazar made up his mind in a noble manner,
worthy of his years, the dignity of his advanced age,
the merited distinction of his gray hair,
and of the admirable life he had lived from childhood;
and so he declared that above all
he would be loyal to the holy laws given by God.

He told them to send him at once
to the abode of the dead, explaining:
“At our age it would be unbecoming to make such a pretense;
many young people would think the ninety-year-old Eleazar
had gone over to an alien religion.
Should I thus pretend for the sake of a brief moment of life,
they would be led astray by me,
while I would bring shame and dishonor on my old age.
Even if, for the time being, I avoid the punishment of men,
I shall never, whether alive or dead,
escape the hands of the Almighty.
Therefore, by manfully giving up my life now, 
I will prove myself worthy of my old age,
and I will leave to the young a noble example
of how to die willingly and generously
for the revered and holy laws.”

Eleazar spoke thus,
and went immediately to the instrument of torture.
Those who shortly before had been kindly disposed,
now became hostile toward him because what he had said
seemed to them utter madness.
When he was about to die under the blows,
he groaned and said:
“The Lord in his holy knowledge knows full well that,
although I could have escaped death,
I am not only enduring terrible pain in my body from this scourging,
but also suffering it with joy in my soul
because of my devotion to him.”
This is how he died,
leaving in his death a model of courage
and an unforgettable example of virtue
not only for the young but for the whole nation.

Jews are the canary in the coal mine. Once someone goes antisemite you know the rest of them are evil

The only thing Fuentes brings to the table is embarrassment.

Nobody is “cancelling” him - he’s free to keep yammering on his podtube or whatever. The first amendment affords him the right to reveal himself as a fool - or as Vance put it “a stupid loser”.

But I absolutely think far, far less of anyone that chooses to partake of his bullcrap. I don’t need to give something a chance that I can smell from a mile and I think anyone who needs to smell it closer up, much play in it and stare it has a screw loose.

I first heard of Fuentes this month. I’ve never seen him, heard him, or read him. Now I’m told to take a hike unless I’m on the right side.

Charlie Kirk refused to back down over tucker Carlson . His last days were filled with taking heat for it. He was called an antisemite for it and lost donors

So was charlie an antisemite for backing tucker who was a key speaker at his memorial

No, sorry.

My salvation lies with Jesus Christ and He alone. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Israeli Jews from Poland, the Ukraine and Brooklyn. This is what well-formed Christians call “heresy,” and this particular type is only found in America, promoted by exotic doctrinaires and grifters like Hagee et al.

You fancy yourself as authority, yet your entire FR profile is devoted to Judaism and Israel. Do you even follow Christ at all?

I don’t know exactly what Fuentes has ever said about Jews. If I knew, I could condemn him. If he said “Jews have higher average income than non-Jewish whites or blacks”, that is a simple fact (I think). If he said “observant Jews don’t eat pork” that is also simple fact. By “de-platforming” him no one can know what he says. I don’t care much what he or Candace Owens says, or Tucker Carlson for that matter. To “platform” someone give me the opportunity to hear their ideas, and if the are anti-semites, I condemn them. However someone must know what this guy says, and if he has a clear history of scummy comments, he can go stand on a street corner or have his own podcast instead of being promoted or normalized by Carlson. Carlson and Megyn Kelly just want their names in print as much as possible, that’s how they make a living.
