Mark Twain once said that if you give a man a reputation for being an early riser that man can sleep until noon. To those of us who watched the video of Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, refusing to excoriate Tucker Carlson for his softball and ingratiating interview with Nick Fuentes it was clear that Mr. Roberts has been sleeping well into the late afternoon during his stewardship. His remarks were not irradiated with luminous majesty. It was painfully obvious that he had misplaced his moral compass.
His presentation was a handwashing statement in which he sought to bestow redemption upon Tucker Carlson without forsaking the sinner who recently and proudly declared to the giddy Nick Fuentes that he hates Christian Zionists. Nick Fuentes is a determined Holocaust denier and avowed admirer of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin.
In between that and his veiled anti-Semitism Tucker introduced us to Daryl Cooper who he confidently announced was one of America's best historians. Mr. Cooper went on to tell us that Winston Churchill was the main villain of WWII. After picking myself off of the floor where I had collapsed in a paroxysm of laughter, I felt what little credibility Tucker has left being sucked out of every pore. Doubtless it landed in the same place where Mr. Roberts' moral compass now languishes.
Mr. Roberts accused his and Carlson's critics of "sowing division", but we are not the ones who unnecessarily went out of our way to make sure that the audience understood the differences between Christian and Judaic beliefs as J.D. Vance did at the recent TPUSA gala at the University of Mississippi. Responding to a question with a distinct air of amiable malice about the American/Israel alliance he hit upon the obvious but with a profound sense of discovery when he told the audience that Christians and Jews have different beliefs. As he beamed his wisdom towards the questioner he reminded everyone that Jews do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. I was waiting for him to say, "And that's why they killed him."
During his morally deficient defense of the Heritage Foundation's support of Tucker Carlson and his nodding approval of Nazi lovers and historical revisionists Mr. Roberts, a staunch Christian, asserted that the Heritage Foundation was and remains the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement in America, but that backbone has begun to curve in the direction of anti-Semitism. It is not the first time that there has been a sickly Christian passivity in the face of Jew-hating fascism.
Mr. Roberts boasted that the Heritage Foundation is dedicated to fighting the "vile ideas of the Left", but it is the vile ideas of the extreme Right that ought to be attracting a lot of his attention. Perhaps he just sees the whole issue in terms of profit and loss when he should be seeing it in terms of good against evil. In the meantime, he has doubtless guaranteed his place as an honored guest on Tucker's next podcast. If we are lucky he might get bumped by David Duke.
