Heritage Turmoil Deepens After Carlson–Fuentes Interview as Task-Force Leader Quits

Prominent Republicans plus Jewish leaders press the movement to draw a bright line against antisemitism following Heritage’s defense of Carlson.

Overview

  • Mark Goldfeder resigned from Heritage’s National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, saying the think tank’s defense of Tucker Carlson’s platforming of Nick Fuentes made continued participation impossible.
  • The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board warned that a ‘new right’ strain of antisemitism is spreading and criticized Heritage president Kevin Roberts for framing objections as cancel culture.
  • Ben Shapiro devoted his Monday show to denouncing Carlson for ‘laundering’ Fuentes’ extremist views, as the interview accumulated tens of millions of views across X and YouTube.
  • At the Republican Jewish Coalition summit, speakers confronted right‑wing antisemitism, Rep. Randy Fine said he would cut off Heritage from his office, and the RJC signaled it is reassessing ties to the think tank.
  • After initial pushback, Roberts issued a follow‑up statement explicitly condemning Fuentes’ antisemitism, drawing praise from the ADL, as reporting described internal dissent and a staff reshuffle at Heritage.
