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.

        Oh, so you’ve decided what I have done with my vote, or that I voted at all, all of a sudden despite the fact you have no idea who I am.

        You’re just gonna make a whole fucking weird ass storyline about me because I called you out for loving a fucking child killer.

        God damn, how much meth have you taken? Comical amounts, I guess.
