Heritage Foundation Antisemitism Task Force Board Member Quits Over Tucker Carlson Defense — as Think Tank Prez Admits He ‘Made the Mess’
A board member of the Heritage Foundation’s antisemitism task force resigned Wednesday, as the think tank’s president Kevin Roberts apologized for his defense of Tucker Carlson following the right-wing podcaster’s “softball” interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
Laurie Cardoza-Moore announced she was withdrawing from the board of the National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, also known as Project Esther, due to Roberts’ embrace of Carlson days after the Fuentes sitdown was released.
“I proudly accepted the invitation to serve on the Heritage Foundation’s Task Force as a tool to fight Jew Hatred, but I am being forced to stand down — unless they draw a clear line in the sand,” said Cardoza-Moore.
“Kevin Robert’s recent statement following Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes was extremely concerning,” she added. “If the Heritage Foundation wants to stand on the right side of history, they must cut all ties with antisemites.”
Cardoza-Moore, who founded the Christian Zionist group Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, claimed that she had told Carlson “in person and publicly, he is a dangerous antisemite.”
Roberts in a private town hall with Heritage staff on Wednesday said he “made a mistake” by issuing a full-throated defense of the former Fox News host.
