Now, Philip Wegmann of the Washington Examiner is reporting a major shakeup at Heritage. Here is more:
Jim DeMint just got capped and the right wing is still reeling. Since news broke that the Heritage president was getting sacked, many DeMint loyalists have started cleaning out their desks, the entire staff remains officially in the dark, and one board member has already resigned in protest.
The board member who has resigned is Todd Herrick, and more may soon leave the 22-member board.
Here is more information about the Jim DeMint purge.
John Hart has a new piece for Forbes on the "political assassination" of DeMint.
Think Tank Watch prediction: DeMint will start his own competing think tank with staffers who leave with him and get initial funding from board members who resign in solidarity.
Stay tuned to Think Tank Watch for the latest updates on the Heritage Foundation chaos. We will be posting several times each day on the latest developments.
