<\/a>Exodus from Heritage continues with flight to former VP Pence\u2019s think tank<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nAndrew Bernard<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Mass resignations from the Heritage Foundation continued on Monday, as more than a dozen former staffers from the conservative think tank announced they were joining former vice president Mike Pence\u2019s policy organization.<\/span><\/p>\n The moves come amid the ongoing fallout from Heritage president Kevin Roberts\u2019s\u00a0decision<\/a>\u00a0to defend media personality Tucker Carlson for giving a friendly interview to neo-Nazi influencer Nick Fuentes, which Roberts said later was a \u201cmistake\u201d but that he would stick by Carlson.<\/span><\/p>\n Pence stated that 13 former staffers from Heritage\u2019s Edwin Meese III Institute for the Rule of Law and the Plymouth Institute for Free Enterprise would join his Advancing American Freedom foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAdvancing American Freedom is honored to welcome these principled conservative scholars to the team,\u201d Pence said. \u201cThey bring a wealth of experience, a love of country and a deep commitment to the constitution and conservative movement that will further the cause of liberty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The Heritage Foundation told JNS that two of those staffers at the Meese center\u2014its director, John Malcolm, and deputy director of programs, Jessica Reinsch\u2014were fired for cause.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cJohn Malcolm and Jessica Reinsch were terminated for conduct inconsistent with Heritage\u2019s mission and standards,\u201d Andrew Olivastro, Heritage\u2019s chief advancement officer, told JNS. \u201cBreach of fiduciary duty and intellectual property removal led to immediate actions. Others who departed were closely aligned with them. Their departures clear the way for a stronger, more focused team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHeritage has always welcomed debate, but alignment on mission and loyalty to the institution are non-negotiable,\u201d he added. \u201cA handful of staff chose a different path\u2014some through disruption, others through disloyalty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n JNS sought comment from Advancing American Freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n Heritage\u2019s leaders have repeatedly invoked the need for loyalty to the organization and accused its naysayers of treachery, with Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at Heritage, describing Heritage staffers who leaked information to the press as \u201ca Judas\u201d at an in-house staff meeting in November.<\/span><\/p>\n Many of those who have resigned from Heritage have condemned the organization for failing to stand against Jew-hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n Josh Blackman, a professor of constitutional law at South Texas College of Law Houston, wrote in his resignation\u00a0letter<\/a>\u00a0as senior editor of the \u201cHeritage Guide to the Constitution\u201d on Sunday that Roberts\u2019 actions had made his position \u201cuntenable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHeritage came to a crashing halt after your infamous video,\u201d Blackman said. \u201cYour initial remarks were indefensible. Your apology was underwhelming, and the lack of any meaningful follow-up over the past three months has been telling. For reasons only you know, you aligned the Heritage Foundation with the rising tide of antisemitism on the right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Blackman, who is Jewish, told JNS on Sunday that it\u2019s regrettable that \u201cit falls to Jewish people to speak up against antisemitism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI wish more people in the conservative movement took action and spoke up,\u201d Blackman said. \u201cBut given there was no change at Heritage, I felt compelled to step down.\u00a0 On this final night of Chanukah, may light spread where there is darkness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Amy Swearer, who is one of the senior legal fellows departing Heritage for Advancing American Freedom, delivered one of the most blistering criticisms of Roberts at the November town hall.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDr. Roberts, over the last week, you have shown a stunning lack of both courage and judgment,\u201d Swearer said. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing ambiguous about what we saw happen. Tucker Carlson invited a Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi onto his show and then spent roughly two hours doing little more than flirting with him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Other members of Heritage who have resigned in recent weeks include three of its\u00a0trustees<\/a>, Shane McCullar, Abby Spencer Moffat and\u00a0Robert George<\/a>, professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University. Heritage\u2019s antisemitism task force has also\u00a0separated<\/a>\u00a0from the conservative think tank \u201cfor a season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n A source at the Heritage Foundation told JNS that Roberts has \u201clost control of the organization\u201d in an effort to transform the once-storied think tank into \u201chis own personality cult\u201d with the help of board chairman Barb Van Andel-Gaby and chief operating officer Eric Korsvall.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe Heritage board of trustees under Barb Van Andel-Gaby has failed in their fiduciary obligation to protect the staff from harm, and they should all be sued in a massive class-action lawsuit and we are in discussions with lawyers about that now,\u201d the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe bullying we have suffered at the hands of Kevin and his minions, such as Eric Korsvall, over the past two months has been intolerable,\u201d the source added. \u201cThere is no excuse for Kevin Roberts\u2019s antisemitism, and he must go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Exodus from Heritage continues with flight to former VP Pence\u2019s think tank Andrew Bernard \u201cThere is no excuse for Kevin Roberts\u2019s antisemitism and he must go,\u201d a source at the Heritage Foundation told JNS.
