Overview
- Ben Shapiro devoted his show to denouncing Carlson as an enabler of extremist ideas, escalating a right‑wing media revolt over the Fuentes episode.
- The Wall Street Journal editorial board warned that antisemitism is spreading on the new right and rebuked both Carlson’s treatment of Fuentes and Roberts’ defense.
- Heritage confirmed the resignation of Roberts’ chief of staff Ryan Neuhaus, and task‑force member Mark Goldfeder quit over the think tank’s stance.
- Roberts later issued a separate statement explicitly condemning Fuentes’ antisemitism, which drew praise from ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt but did not halt broader criticism.
- Top Republicans including Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, and Dan Crenshaw publicly censured the interview, as the video amassed tens of millions of views and the intra‑GOP fight over antisemitism and Israel policy intensified.
