Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation, has publicly apologized for his recent comments defending Tucker Carlson after Carlson hosted a known Jew hater on his podcast. In a video statement, Roberts admitted his language was a 'terrible choice of words' and pledged that both he and the Heritage Foundation would continue to call out antisemitism, even when it involves friends or allies. The apology follows a tense all-staff meeting where employees expressed deep concerns about Roberts' leadership and the organization's credibility, with some demanding his resignation and others urging a clear repudiation of Carlson. Roberts acknowledged the internal divisions and said he had offered to resign, but felt compelled to stay and address the damage caused by his actions.
