“MAGA’s favorite think tank, the Heritage Foundation, is reportedly in the midst of a conservative Civil War after Heritage president Kevin Roberts defended Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with the white supremacist Nick Fuentes. For readers not steeped in the nuances of the internet’s competing racist factions, Fuentes is a neo-Nazi podcaster and streamer …. His long march from the far-right fringe to conservative mainstream has been helped along by rising antisemitism, the movement’s increasingly-open embrace of gutter racism, and a cadre of zealous young followers whose political ideology was forged in white supremacist chat rooms (they call themselves ‘groypers’ after an alt-right meme). … Roberts attempted to thread a needle, claiming to oppose a nebulous notion of ‘cancellation’ while condemning some of Fuentes’[s] most over-the-top statements. But Fuentes’[s] open Nazism isn’t an ideological deviation.” (11/14/25)
