Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts has issued an apology following his controversial defense of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes.
“Leadership requires owning the moments where we fall short — then using them to reset, refocus, and recommit,” Roberts said in a video statement posted on X Nov. 6. The apology followed remarks made during a Heritage Foundation town hall that were leaked to the media.
The Heritage Foundation and its president began receiving backlash after, in an Oct. 30 video, Roberts defended Carlson against “cancellation” for an interview he conducted with Fuentes, a white nationalist, self-described fan of Stalin and Hitler, and Holocaust denier, who has said women “want to be raped” and argued in favor of segregation and racism against African Americans. Carlson drew heavy criticism for failing to challenge Fuentes on his views, including at one point in the interview when Fuentes said he was a “fan” of Stalin.
Roberts said in a video message on social media Oct. 30 that “the venomous coalition attacking [Carlson] are sowing division” and that “their attempt to cancel him will fail.”
“My use of the phrase ‘venomous coalition’ was a terrible choice of words,” Roberts said, referring to the video statement that went viral last week. “It caused justified concern — especially among friends and allies who know how seriously Heritage has fought, and continues to fight, against the rise of antisemitism.”
Roberts later posted a written statement decrying Fuentes’ views, which he said he abhorred.
In his latest statement, Roberts emphasized the importance of speaking out against antisemitism, “no matter the messenger.”
“Heritage and I will do so, even when my friend Tucker Carlson needs challenging,” he said.
