Here is more from the Washington Post:
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.
A staff meeting Wednesday — Roberts’s latest attempt to quell a week of resignations and condemnations over his defense of Carlson — was marked with calls for him to resign and squabbles over whether Christian employees would be forced to participate in Jewish rituals.
At least five members of Heritage’s antisemitism task force have now resigned in protest, and distinguished fellow Chris DeMuth left the organization.
The Washington Post notes that there is "little sign" that Roberts's standing has been weakened with the think tank's 14-member board.
The newspaper also reported that an anonymous complaint was sent by three employees to Heritage's board in Feb. 2025, complaining, among other things, about Roberts's handling of Project 2025. The letter also called the think tank's sidelining by the Trump Administration a "historic failure" by Roberts.
