The #HeritageFoundation, which has stood for decades as the intellectual crown jewel of the conservative movement, has been convulsed in an ugly public spat over the organization’s approach to #antisemitism. Employees & visiting scholars are resigning from & revolting against the think tank over its defense of the fmr FoxNews host #TuckerCarlson’s interview with #NickFuentes, a #WhiteSupremacist & #antisemite who has gained prominence in #MAGA circles.
The conflict has exposed the degree to which previously forbidden bigotries have penetrated the heart of the #Trump-era #Republican Party. It has also revealed a somewhat different, yet related pathology: the #BrainDeath of the #conservative movement.
