Rabbi quits Heritage Foundation’s antisemitism taskforce as Zionist Organization of America warns it will sever ties over conservative thinktank’s support for Tucker Carlson.
A conservative American Jewish group said Monday it is planning to cut ties with the Heritage Foundation unless the right-wing think tank distances itself from podcaster Tucker Carlson.
In a pair of statements issued by the Zionist Organization of America, the Republican-leaning Jewish group condemned Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ recent comments on his organization’s relationship with Carlson and defense of the Carlson from accusations of antisemitism.
The ZOA called Roberts’ comments a “disgraceful defense, whitewashing of, and alliance with Tucker Carlson, following Carlson’s string of libels…and fawning interviews with notorious neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, Israel defamers and Jew-haters whom he did not push back on.”
