The Heritage Foundation is experiencing internal turmoil following its president Kevin Roberts' defense of Tucker Carlson's interview with antisemitic influencer Nick Fuentes. The interview, which gained over 20 million views, exposed a growing rift within the conservative movement regarding antisemitism. Carlson's decision to host Fuentes, a known Holocaust denier and white supremacist, was widely condemned, even by prominent conservative figures like Ben Shapiro. Roberts defended Carlson, arguing that criticizing him was divisive, but later apologized and condemned Fuentes. The controversy highlights a broader struggle within MAGA circles over how to handle antisemitism, with some factions viewing Fuentes' influence as a threat to conservative values. Simultaneously, the interview and the internal revolt at Heritage reflect a larger ideological divide among Republicans. While figures like Mitch McConnell and Ben Shapiro have condemned Fuentes, others like Carlson and Fuentes are gaining influence, blurring the lines between mainstream conservatism and extremist rhetoric. The situation underscores ongoing tensions within the GOP over antisemitism, the direction of the conservative movement, and the influence of far-right figures. The controversy also echoes concerns about the normalization of antisemitic rhetoric in political discourse, which could have serious implications for societal norms and safety.
