BREAKING: Two More Heritage Foundation Board Members Resign Amid Tucker-Fuentes Fallout

Source: MEDIAite

Dec 16th, 2025, 3:05 pm


Two more members of The Heritage Foundation’s Board of Trustees, Shane McCullar and Abby Spencer Moffat, resigned on Tuesday, citing concerns over Heritage’s direction and approach to combating anti-Semitism.

A statement from McCullar obtained by Mediaite reads:

When Ed Feulner encouraged me to join the Board of The Heritage Foundation, I did so to help advance the ideals of America’s Founding. My intention was to work from within to further the conservative principles in alignment with our great nation. Today, I have resigned from the Board of Trustees of the Heritage Foundation in furtherance of those same values.

No institution that hesitates to condemn antisemitism and hatred—or that gives a platform to those who spread them—can credibly claim to uphold the vision that once made the Heritage Foundation the world’s most respected conservative think tank. And, I cannot, in good conscience, remain on a board that is unwilling to confront the lapses in judgment that have harmed its credibility, its culture, and the conservative movement it once helped shape. I leave with respect for the Heritage Foundation’s past, but I cannot support the course it has chosen for its future. My commitment to the principles that brought me here remains unchanged, which is why I must now step away.


After Tucker Carlson conducted a friendly interview with white nationalist leader Nick Fuentes earlier this fall, the think tank’s president, Kevin Roberts, released a fiery video defending Carlson and excoriating what he described as the “venomous coalition” criticizing him. Roberts’s handling of the situation was the subject of much scorn, including on the right, and he eventually recanted.

One might suggest that hatred, racism, sexism, ignorance, greed, sloth, mendacity all are CONSERVATIVE VALUES. But I’m a member of the venomous coalition.

Christian-nationalist goals. The Heritage Foundation hasn't been worthy of respect as a conscientious source of conservative wisdom since Gingrich took over the GOP. It shows just what a bubble conservatives all live in, and the degree of ignorance and denial in their continued furtherance of The Dark Enlightenment.

A *gasp* far right “think” tank is antisemitic! No way.

It’s like these people have no sense of history. It’s before my time, but institutions like the John birch society were known to be a home for antisemites (even if its leaders claimed the contrary).

This is nothing new. These organizations just change names. The big difference is they now control all levers of power.

But don't try and tell me that the Heritage Foundation is all about "advancing the ideals of America's founding."

What kind of bullcrap is that? She can't really believe they aren't knee-deep in the Project 2025 cesspool ... and everything else that's going on. Kevin Roberts is just as big an asshole as Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and probably several others.

The Bible tells Jesus had skin like copper and hair like sheep’s wool. God made human form, God wasn’t human form. Therefore God had no race and Jesus wasn’t white. How do these people justify their twisting of scripture to craft messages that amount to blasphemy.

The southern Baptist Convention split from the mainline Baptist church over the issue of slavery and started their own church where they taught the mark of Caine doctrine that said the mark that God placed upon Caine for killing his brother Abel was black skin and that it justified slavery as redemption.

Never mind of course that at this point in history the world was aware of Asian, oriental, the natives who US land was stolen from, and every racial group. They picked black people for their doctrine because they had to justify continuing enslavement of the people they already owned.

They crafted a gospel that allowed them to exploit their captive labor. And when that was taken away, they crafted more manipulative doctrine to extract money from their followers. Look at all the lying bs people like Jim Bakker and Oral Robert’s used to get people to give up their money.
