Heritage Foundation Faces Escalating Fallout Over Roberts’ Defense of Tucker Carlson

Jewish advisers say the “venomous coalition” remark broke trust, with exits from Project Esther highlighting a growing split on the right.

U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and John Barrasso (R-WY) speak as they use the escalator at the Capitol subway system, more than a month into the longest U.S. government shutdown, in Washington on Nov. 10, 2025.

Overview

  • Multiple members of Heritage’s National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism resigned after Kevin Roberts backed Tucker Carlson following Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes.
  • Roberts apologized for his comments and acknowledged a poor choice of words, yet he remains in his post as president.
  • The Combat Antisemitism Movement suspended Heritage’s membership and rebuked Roberts in a formal letter.
  • Departing advisers, including David Bernstein and Rabbi Yaacov Menken, described a moral failure, and Mark Goldfeder criticized elevating Carlson and attacking critics.
  • Conservative commentary split sharply, with WSJ’s Gerard Baker calling the episode a test of values as more than a dozen fellows and supporters reportedly quit, while American Greatness urged against “cancelling” Roberts.
