It was long ago that the Democratic Party decided to NOT be a supporter of Israel. They left that job to the Republicans.
But now the unthinkable: Antisemitism has come out of the fringes and is spreading like cancer among Republicans.
No less than the Heritage Foundation, a bastion for conservativism and boon for the Party, is signal-boosting the most disgusting voice out there whipping up hatred against women, people of color and Jews, Nick Fuentes.
Fuentes is the host of America First, a pro-rape demagogue Groyper who said on his podcast March 29: “Jews are running society, women need to shut the f— up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in paradise; it’s that simple.”
Just about everybody ignored his vile vomit until Tucker Carlson — who has abandoned any semblance of true journalism some time ago and grows his channel on shock content — platformed him and sanitized him for acceptance in a broader audience
That was bad. Then Heritage President Kevin Roberts made it worse. Instead of censuring his longtime friend, Roberts came out in defense of Carlson and attacked those calling out his antisemitism (and racism, etc.). “Tucker Carlson always will be a close friend of the Heritage Foundation. The venomous coalition attacking him are sowing division. Their attempt to cancel him will fail.”
Resignations of the Heritage Foundation followed: Chief of Staff Ryan Neuhaus and antisemitism task force member Ian Speir. Senior legal fellow Amy Swearer publicly confronted Roberts, saying he showed a “stunning lack of both courage and judgment.”
“I don’t think that Kevin Roberts is a neo-Nazi, and I don’t even think he’s necessarily a bad person. I think that he is turning a blind eye to the kind of vile rot that will end up eating this party and that will end up eating America if nobody puts a stop to it,” says Mark Goldfeder, CEO and director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center.
Goldfeder resigned the Heritage Foundation.
“The Heritage Foundation has become irrelevant because at the end of the day, I still firmly believe that the vast amount of Americans and conservatives included in that are good people who can see antisemitism, racism, sexism, bigotry, and who are willing to say, ‘I don’t want to be a part of this.'” Goldfeder adds. “So I think all that they have done as of now is make themselves less relevant to the conversation.”
The Heritage Foundation came to prominence in the term of President Ronald Reagan, who drew extensively from its policy blueprint Mandate for Leadership. Heritage n deeply intertwined with Donald Trump’s political ecosystem, serving as a policy architect, personnel recruiter and ideological guide.
The white-nationalist Groypers rally around Fuentes and ambush conservative events, such as Turning Point USA or Ben Shapiro speeches.
Here are some Nick Fuentes quotes:
- “Hitler is awesome. Hitler was right. And the Holocaust didn’t happen.”
- “A lot of women want to be raped. There’s a lot of women who really want to guy to beat the sh-t out of them.”
- “Raise your right hand and say, ‘I will kill, rape and die for Nicholas J. Fuentes.”
- “White people are every single bit justified in being racist.”
- “It is Heil Hitler Friday. All my niggas Nazis.”
- “Hitler was really f–king cool.”
- “It takes one hour to cook a batch of cookies. If you have 15 ovens in four different kitchens doing 24 hours a day for every day for five years, how long would it take for you to bake 6 million cookies? The math doesn’t seem to add up here. Maybe 200 to 300,000 cookies?”
- “The Jews are responsible for every war in the world.”
How did such poisonous sewage from a Neanderthal brain make its way back into the America consciousness after being expelled in the Civil Rights movement?
“The left, by moving into a politics of anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-male identitarianism, created its bizarro mirror image, a white pseudo-Christian, incel identitarian movement dedicated to destroying the institutions of this country and replacing Americanism with something else,” says Shapiro. “It’s an incoherent stew of malignity.”
Then, Carlson served up a Fuentes lite to his 24M followers and his conservative connections?
It was sickening — only made worse by the lack of backbone in Heritage President to disassociate Neo-Nazism from the Republican Party.
“Kevin’s statement (supporting Carlson) is a betrayal of the Heritage Foundation’s history and principles,” Shapiro says. “Like the Democratic Party, the Republican Party is being eaten by its radicals. Many in the political class are too cowardly to stand up.
“Americans are NOT pro-segregation, pro-rape, anti-woman, pro-child marriage, anti-black, anti-Jew, anti-Indian, anti-Latino, anti-constitution, pro- Hitler nut jobs like Nick Fuentes,” Shapiro adds. “And Americans are not pro-Putin, pro-Iran, pro-China, pro-Venezuela, pro-Hamas, pro-Fuentes, pro-Tate idiots like Tucker Carlson. They hate this vile garbage. If Republicans decide to cower before the likes of neo-Nazis and their propagandizers, they deserve to lose and they will lose.”
If you wonder how Fuentes, born of a father of Mexican descent and a mother of Irish and Italian ancestry, can identify as a white supremacist, then you need to know that Tom Metzger of the White Aryan Resistance in Southern California in the 1980s recruited pale-faced Mexicans into his organization. WAR looked at skin color not place of origin. Fuentes actually fits in nicely.
While Fuentes and Carlson say they are Christian, they are not Judeo-Christians, like most Bible believers in churches. They ascribe to a sect of Christianity aligned with two movements, Identity Christianity and Positive Christianity:
- Identity Christianity arose in England in the 19th Century claiming that Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Nordic people are the lost tribe of Israel and that Jews are Satanic imposters. Their ideas merged into groups like the Ku Klux Klan of the 1950s–’80s and The Order, Aryan Nations and Covenant, Sword, and Arm of the Lord.
- Positive Christianity was a Nazi reinterpretation 1930-’45 recasting Jesus as an Aryan hero, blond, blue-eyed fighting Jewish corruption. After WW2, it was discredited as propaganda and heresy.
Radio show host Mark Levin didn’t mince words about the current predicament: “People wonder what 1930s looks like. You’re looking at it all over the world. You don’t have to wonder anymore.”
