Overview
- At a live SiriusXM town hall, Cruz said he has seen more antisemitism on the right than ever before and warned Carlson is on a “very dark path” that can lead to anti‑capitalism and anti‑Americanism.
- The National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism cut ties with the Heritage Foundation and hastily convened a Washington conference rejecting far‑right media platforming, with attendees from ADL, JFNA and other groups.
- Heritage’s fallout continued as trustee Robert P. George resigned and at least seven employees or fellows left after president Kevin Roberts initially defended Carlson and later apologized.
- President Trump defended Carlson’s decision to interview Nick Fuentes, saying “you can’t tell him who to interview,” a stance Fuentes publicly applauded.
- Conservative and pro‑family organizations continue to support Carlson even as critics push back, and the Fuentes episode has drawn more than 20 million views across platforms.
