Heritage President Kevin Roberts, Who Defended Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes: I Was Misled, I Didn't Know the World's Most Famous Internet Nazi Nick Fuentes Was a Nazi

Before getting to that: There is an idea being pushed by Nick Fuentes -- and now by Tucker Carlson and his various simps and cucks -- that it is absolutely crucial to the conservative movement that we accept in Nazis like Nick Fuentes.

Where did this idea come from? Nick Fuentes has been attacking the actual conservative movement for years and telling his "Groyper" supporters to vote for Kamala Harris.

Nick Fuentes, who noted World War Two Revisionist Scholar Tucker Carlson attempted to mainstream, told his supporters to vote against Trump and for Kamala Harris. He also vowed to destroy Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk.

I have avoided even learning about Fuentes because 1, I'm not super-interested in "speech patrolling the right," 2, I'm tired of the left-wing media telling me who my thought leaders are (hint, it's not Nick Fuentes) and 3, he's a loudmouthed, crude, moronic asshole who routinely praises Adolf Hitler and he's just not worth my time.

HOWEVER, now that Tucker Carlson gave him a fluffer interview mainstreaming his views (while avoiding talking about what his views actually are), I'm forced to discuss him.

Here's what Nick Fuentes says about JD Vance:

Steve Norris @SteveNorrisTV

OUCH! #MAGA is eating its own.

Here's what Nick Fuentes says about VP JD Vance...

"He is literally a fat, gay, race traitor that married a jееt."

From context, I understand "jeet" to be a slur for an Indian.

I am not upset he is insulting Vance or his "jeet" wife.

I am pointing out that, contrary to the claims of Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and even Matt Walsh, who says we must stop fighting about Nick Fuentes and simply "unite" with him for the good of the party, Fuentes and his Gay Nazi fans are not part of the party, and they actively campaign and vote for Democrats, and fight to destroy MAGA and the GOP so that his version of a reconstituted Nazi Party can rise up in his ashes.

In other words: We have won many elections without Fuentes and his Nazis, and in fact we won 2024 despite Fuentes urging his supporters to vote for Kamala Harris.

So why, exactly, do we need to turn the GOP into the New Nazi Party to win? How can Tucker Carlson claim that Nick Fuentes is vital to our futures?

In terms the Nazis would use: The Nazis are not looking to assimilate into the party.

They are looking to replace the party.

The Nazis have a replacement theory of their own.

And I say: "They will not replace us!"

Candace Owens, meanwhile, is telling her supporters to not vote at all "until we find out who killed Charlie Kirk." Who she's pretty sure is Binyamin Netanyahu and also, All Jews, Generally.

As Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh instruct us: It is important to form a coalition with these rock-ribbed Republican and conservative stalwarts to avoid "dividing the right."

If you criticize them, remember, you're "cancelling" them, and you wouldn't cancel a Nazi, would you? Hypocrite!

I'm not the biggest fan of Ben Shapiro but his exposé of Fuentes and his frequent utterance of "Heil Hitler," Holocaust denial, and constant claims that a cabal of "occult" demonic Jews rule the world, is outstanding.

Watch at least the first five minutes. No, Fuentes is not just "trolling the libtards" by saying he's a Nazi. He's an actual Nazi.

The back half of this takedown is even better, as he demonstrates that Fuentes has been attacking Tucker Carlson for a long while, and Carlson fears that Fuentes is stealing his base of antisemitism-curious conspiracy theorists away from him. So, Shapiro says, the "coward" Tucker Carlson -- who will not speak the antisemitic conspiracy theories that drive him, but instead has on guests whom he gives tongue-baths to who will speak the words that Tucker Carlson will not -- just interviews people with Interesting Theories about Jews, and then says "It's important we have these 'discussions,' about which topic I will not specify."

He means "the JQ" -- Nazis' shorthand for the "Jewish Question" that Hitler answered in 1940-1945. What shall we do with these Jews who live among us, subverting us?

Well, if it's important to have discussions about whether or not Jewish Warlocks are hypnotizing gullible Christians into selling their souls for them, that it's also important to have discussions about whether Tucker Carlson is now simply a Nazi.

Either we can have these controversial yet "important" "discussions" about all controversial matters, Tucker, or we can't have them at all. It's not just you who gets to decide who will be demonized and have hate-mobs whipped up against them.

Bonus points to Shapiro for repeatedly stating, correctly, that Tucker Carlson is a "cuck" who "cucked out" to Nazis.

Shapiro also calls out Carlson for something I've repeatedly pointed out myself: Tucker Carlson has a big problem with the pro-Israel Trump, but he knows his audience is pro-Trump, so he attacks Trump's positions by assigning them to MAGA enemies like Lindsey Graham and then attacking Lindsey Graham.

Yes, Graham is odious. And yes, Graham said "Bomb Iran."

But Trump said "Bomb Iran" too, and when Trump said it it was more important, because Trump said that as a command to the US Air Force.

But Tucker Carlson is a wormy, sniveling coward, so when he attacks the pro-Israel Trump he pretends he's talking about other people.

Be a man, Tucker. You want to take on Trump? Then stop hiding behind Lindsey Graham and take on Trump.

But you won't. Coward.

We're getting a lot of "Just stop arguing, unite the right even if it means uniting with Nazis" from people I have lost a lot of respect for, like the formerly stellar Jesse Kelly.

Kelly acts as if it's the Dirty Jews who are provoking this dispute and that "both sides" are equally to blame, the Nazis who say "Jews Will Not Replace Us" and the Jews who object, "We're not replacing anyone."

People will claim this is "just about Israel." It's not. Tucker Carlson has, over the past couple of years, repeatedly accused Jews of murdering Christians, platformed Nazi sympathizers who say the US entered World War Two on the wrong side, stated that there was no one on earth he hated more than "Christian Zionists" -- Christians who think the Jews should have a home of their own (funny, no one ever questions whether the British should have a home of their own, or the Irish), attacked Mark Levin and other politically-active Jews of "dual loyalty," etc.

If you haven't noticed, an awful lot of people, including Hamas terrorists, claim "I just opposed the government of Israel" but then attack non-Israeli Jews. Tucker Carlson is now a proud member of that group.

He also, of course, gave a tongue bath to Putin and claimed that Akshually Russia is a Super-Advanced High-Functioning Democracy.

And he claimed that Hamas was not a terrorist group, pleading ignorance on the subject, claiming that while other people (Jews) claim it's a terrorist group, he has no evidence of this, and that Hamas "seems like a political organization to me."

And then: Platforming the Nazi and agreeing with everything the Nazi said.

This was inevitable. This is where the Tucker Carlson Train was always headed. He knows people aren't ready for full-on Nazism yet, so he's using the tactic of boiling the frogs little by little so they barely notice they're in a warm bath of Nazism.

He also released an "exposé" on 9/11, which trotted out the old formerly left-wing conspiracy theories that tower 7 was not destroyed by a plane crash but by other unspecified means (a controlled demolition) and of course that Benjamin Netanyahu and the Famous Israeli Art Students had advance knowledge of 9/11 but let it happen because it helped them advance their Jewish Plots.

He claims "of course I didn't allege the Jews did it" before immediately laying out a trail of bread crumbs that, when followed, leads directly to "The Jews did it."

I joined the Republican Fucking Party to traffic in the old "Loose Change" Bush Blew Up Tower 7 conspiracy theories? I now have to co-sign Rosie O'Donnell's "Fire Doesn't Melt Steel" metalurgical proofs?

If this is the Republican Party, or this is what the Republican Party becomes, then I'm not part of it. So Tucker and Steve Bannon can scheme about how many more "Republicans" we have when we mainstream Nazism and white supremacy, but they had better count on millions and millions of people fleeing the party.

I did not sign up for this bullshit. I will not become a Nazi to "own the libs."

With that ugly backstory out of the way -- and I have avoided discussing this on this site for a while; this is not a fight I sought to have, with anyone -- we now come to Kevin Roberts, president of Heritage, who really threw gas on this fire by claiming that anyone who had a problem with Tucker Carlson's turn towards Nazism is just a dirty "Cancel Culture" wokester and we shouldn't cancel anyone, including Fuentes, including any other out-and-proud white supremacist Nazi.

This fight raged all through the weekend, with Heritage's anti-semitism task force resigning rather than continue employment at an organization which has officially declared that antisemitism to be a respectable position in rightist thought.

Dana Loesch as been a star on this issue. She interrogated Kevin Roberts and left him babbling like a baby. Heritage's public statement spoke of a "venomous coalition" -- Jews, non-anti-semites -- that organized to say "Enough" to Tucker Carlson.

She asked him if it was also "venomous" for Tucker Carlson to say that there was no one on earth he despised more than Christian Zionists.

Roberts babbled some more.

Dana Loesch Calls Out Conservative Influencers for Sacrificing Principles to Social Media Stardom!

"You pay attention to who talks about this and who doesn't because the people that don't talk about it are the people that are trying to guard their ass."

In a fiery segment on the Dana Loesch Show, the conservative commentator lambasted prominent figures on the right for their reluctance to confront controversial ideologies within their ranks, attributing it to a fear of jeopardizing lucrative platforms and audience access.

Loesch highlighted how many have remained silent on divisive issues, driven by a desire for "adjacency to that influence," such as sharing stages with high-profile personalities like Tucker Carlson or embarking on campus tours for personal acclaim. "That's why a lot of these people don't speak out," she asserted, urging listeners to scrutinize the quiet ones: "You pay attention to who talks about this and who doesn't because the people that don't talk about it are the people that are trying to guard their ass."

I admit I'm one of the people who ducked this issue, at least on the blog. I did talk it up on X. As I said, I wasn't eager to get into this fight -- but I'm also not going to run cover to Tucker Carlson, who plainly has something wrong with him. (He's slurring his consonant clusters just like Biden did, now. "Abstract" gets pronounced "abstack." S's frequently become Sh's.)

I'm pissed at people like Matt Walsh and Jesse Kelly. If you want to remain silent -- THEN STAY SILENT. Don't peddle this bullshit that the Nazis and the people the Nazis are slurring and saying should be "given the death penalty" are both equally to blame.

On with Dana Loesch:

Loesch dismissed excuses for avoiding criticism of figures like Candace Owens, mocking the notion of her as a "young mom" at 36 years old as mere deflection, and warned that such silence prioritizes "the lifespan of their digital economy more than the health of the movement on the right."

Loesch expressed hope that her words would "convict them in their hearts and minds," labeling their timidity "shameful" in 2025, when some conservatives hesitate to denounce admiration for figures like Stalin due to backlash from online "troll armies." She defended the right to distance oneself from harmful ideas as "free association," not cancellation, and scorned those who cry foul as "a bunch of sensitive snowflake sissies who should be disbarred from any other contributions to conservative discussion."

That video here.

And now, as Heritage is at the crossroads of either officially becoming Stormfront Central or just closing up shop, Kevin Roberts decides that he was misled by a junior staffer who misled him about the content of Nick Fuentes' beliefs and Tucker Carlson's warm welcome of those beliefs. That staffer has now resigned, and Roberts would like to
keep his Grifter Job Please and Thank You.

The Washington Free Beacon obtained video of a meeting today at the august conservative think tank after Roberts asked the board to address the staff. Referring to his defense of Tucker Carlson and his interview with Nick Fuentes, whose Stalinophilia blew up the final weeks of the election season. "I made a mistake," Roberts told his staff, and in the process admitted to a series of them:

"I made a mistake and I let you down and I let down this institution. Period. Full Stop," Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts told the staff of the conservative think tank on Wednesday, a week after he posted a video decrying a "venomous" coalition attacking the right-wing podcast host Tucker Carlson--and declaring the Heritage Foundation would always defend him against "the slander of bad actors who serve someone else's agenda."

Roberts said he was willing to resign but felt a "moral obligation" to repair the situation and had told the organization's board of directors: "I made the mess, let me clean it up." ...

While Roberts stated unequivocally in his original video that the Heritage Foundation would never cancel "our friends," he said Wednesday he should have made clear there was a "limiting principle."

"You can say you're not going to participate in canceling someone ... while also being clear you're not endorsing everything they've said, you're not endorsing softball interviews, you're not endorsing putting people on shows, and I should've made that clear."

One limiting principle would be to research the issue before issuing statements on behalf of the organization. Admitting that he still "didn't know much about this Fuentes guy," Roberts explained that he simply trusted his now-former chief of staff to do his thinking for him. "This is an explanation, not an excuse," Roberts told Heritage staff:

Roberts said his former chief of staff, Ryan Neuhaus, who has since resigned, wrote the script for the video and deceived him into believing colleagues had approved the message. "Our former chief of staff had the pen," he said. "When the script was presented to me ... I understood from our former colleague that it was approved, it was signed off on by the handful of colleagues who are part of that. Still my fault, I should have had the wisdom to say, 'Time out, let's double check this.'"

Bull. Shit. As I said, I have avoided the bother of looking into Nick Fuentes because he's literally nothing to me and I do not feel the need to research anyone the left claims is one of my "thought leaders." However, I have seen enough little clips of Fuentes saying "Heil Hitler" and questioning how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust (in a very cute, very clever little speech in which he refers to Jews as "cookies" and wonders how many ovens you'd need to bake six million "cookies") to know that he is not someone I should rush to defend.

Again, if you want to stay silent, stay silent. Do not rush to defend people who sure seem to be actual Nazis -- not fake Nazis as the left is always alleging, but real, bona-fide, "Heil Hitler" Jews should be "given the death penalty" Nazis) and claim you're just being a Free Speech Angel.

By the way, Ed Morrissey mentions Stalin. During Tucker's "interview" -- really his puff-piece promotion -- Fuentes avoided mentioning his open admiration of the "bad ass" and "cool" Adolf Hitler, but he did confess his admiration for Josef Stalin.

Sensing this would be a bridge too far for the audience he is bread-crumbing towards Nazism, Tucker expressed surprise and changed the subject, saying "We'll circle back to that."

But just like Jen Psaki, he never did. He didn't want to show any disagreement with Fuentes, so he just cucked out for his bull and changed the subject to something more agreeable. Like the "heresy" of "Christian Zionism" or something.

I know some people still like Tucker Carlson and so I'm not eager to get into fights with you. I will, however, not cuck myself out for Tucker Carlson like he cucked himself out to appeal to Nick Fuentes' Nazi audience. I will not lie for him, I will not minimize his evil, and I will not urge that we "united" with him so that he continue mainstreaming Nazism without anyone kicking up a fuss.

If he wants to keep having these "important discussions," then you better bet I will be right here ready to have these "Important discussions" right beside him.
