In a recent Washington Examiner column, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts argues that infighting among conservative factions threatens to derail the GOP’s future. To save the party, he contends, the camps must fuse together just like conservatives did 50 years ago.
Which is odd, considering Roberts recently chased dozens of respected conservative scholars out of the Heritage Foundation after backing his “close friend,” the antisemitic conspiracy theorist Tucker Carlson. It’s also odd considering Heritage’s central economic idea, populist protectionism, was just overwhelmingly rejected by voters.
