Terrifying clip of Heritage Foundation lunatic Kevin Roberts on MSNBC

Share this with everyone you know

QUESTION: Is your organization going to accept the results of the 2024 presidential election, regardless of the election results.

ANSWER: Yes, if there isn’t massive fraud like there was in 2020.

QUESTION: There wasn’t massive fraud. Where was it?

ANSWER: no answer

QUESTION: What is the plan for the deportation of undocumented immigrants in the interior, not at the border.

ANSWER: We need to have the biggest mass deportation system in America.

QUESTION: What are these people (undocumented immigrants) doing?

ANSWER: A lot of them are committing crimes like murdering the 12-year-old girl in Houston.

FACT: That’s one out of 11 million. In Texas, undocumented immigrants were 37.1 % less likely to be convicted of a crime.

QUESTION: Should a woman be able to get an abortion if her doctor says she needs one?

ANSWER: Abortion is not healthcare . We will change the name of the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Life, because we are all in support of life.

This asshole was caught in a lie. There have been many hundreds of millions of votes cast since the Heritage Foundation started monitoring voter fraud and they can only find less than 2 thousand documented cases.



https://www.rawstory.com/election-fraud-lies/

The president of the far-right Heritage Foundation was embarrassed on MSNBC on Saturday morning after he insisted the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump, only to have MSNBC's Symone Sanders-Townsend pop his balloon by citing his organization's own research on voter fraud.

During his appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Kevin Roberts first battled with former RNC president Michael Steele about the Project 2025 plan to dismantle the government and remake it into an authoritarian regime presided over by newly re-elected Donald Trump.......

"There was election fraud, it has been documented over the years," the Heritage head claimed. "By the way, the Heritage Foundation is concerned about election fairness for decades and has been documenting this problem for a very long time."

Holding and reading from documents, the MSNBC host replied, "I believe, according to the Heritage Foundation, sir, by your count, the Heritage Foundation has done an investigation and according to your count, there have been 1513 proven instances of voter fraud across the United States since 1982."

"Yeah it is very hard to document," he replied as she emphasized "1500," and off-screen "Weekend " host Alicia Menendez could be heard giggling.

Claims Project 2025 is designed implement “Trumpism.” Now that we have a definition, go after it. Fire 2 million federal civil servants? Shout it from the rooftop. Outlaw abortion with no exceptions? Shout it from the highest mountain.

I will give him credit for articulating Trumpism in a way TFG cannot. If TFG even hints at the one of proposals in Project 2025, Joe needs to rattle off the list so EVERYONE knows what they are up to.

In critical swing states, many (Dem) votes will be suppressed, or not counted. What do we do then?

Why everyone thinks Trump will lose because we're right and they're wrong is beyond me.
This summer will bring violence and death, I expect armed thugs outside polling places, I think Gilead is a realistic outcome.

But, Kevin and his "think tank" surely are.

You need people with the knowledge of how to actually operate the government.

This man is an idiot as evidenced by this, and the fact that he thinks "Trumpism" is just a brand of conservatism. It is clearly a rabidly fascist, personality death-cult fixated on a demented criminal.

"What are undocumented immigrants doing? Should a woman be able to get an abortion if her doctor says she needs one?"

Answers with inane talking points, or doesn't answer at all. This is scary? Terrifying? I refuse to be terrified of ignorant grifting MAGAts.

IMO, these questions are nothing but stupid filler for pundits to get paid on a Saturday.

How I know this: I saw the handoff from this show to Ali Velshi, and they were all LAUGHING. They were all so terrified of the scary MAGAt they were yucking it up together. What Ever.

at which point it will be too late to do anything about them.

Until then, they are merely something to be aware of, and perhaps that will help stave off a disaster. So the danger is real, even if the terror is currently hypothetical.

They think it all sounds great and they have no clue how it sounds to the average swing voter. IMO our best hope is to call attention to their extremism and insanity, trounce them, and force them to abandon this blueprint for a fascist takeover.

If we run on Project 2025 and they know it was the reason for their loss, they will have to put it away. Given the name, I think even they know it has a limited shelf life for the future.

45. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts raised new concerns with a cryptic threat about a "[b]second American Revolu
Wed Jul 3, 2024, 07:51 PM
Jul 2024

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts raised new concerns with a cryptic threat about a "second American Revolution.”



https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/heritage-foundation-american-revolution-threat-bloodless-left-rcna160188

In time, however, as Republican politics grew more radical, the Heritage Foundation shifted, too. In 2013, then-Sen. Orrin Hatch told MSNBC, “Heritage used to be the conservative organization helping Republicans and helping conservatives and helping us to be able to have the best intellectual conservative ideas. There’s a real question in the minds of many Republicans right now, and I’m not just speaking for myself: Is Heritage going to go so political that it really doesn’t amount to anything anymore?”

Eleven years later, the idea that the Heritage Foundation is producing “the best intellectual conservative ideas” is plainly laughable, as its president reminded the public again yesterday. HuffPost noted:

The head of an organization behind an influential policy document expected to guide a potential second Donald Trump administration declared that there’s a revolution taking place right now. And he appeared to deliver an ominous warning to “the radical left” as he spoke.


“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” Kevin Roberts, president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, said on a conservative media outlet called Real America’s Voice.



.......And while those concerns are warranted, they’re made worse by the broader significance of Heritage’s ongoing political efforts.

Who’s responsible for the radical Project 2025 agenda? The Heritage Foundation.

Who’s “pre-screening the ideologies” of thousands of people in the hopes of installing “a pre-vetted, pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists” across the federal government? The Heritage Foundation.

Who’s funding an apparent blacklist of federal government workers who might stand in the way of a MAGA agenda? The Heritage Foundation.

Who put up billboards in Alabama in support of Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville while he undermined his own country’s military? The Heritage Foundation.

Which group’s former staffers have complained about their former employers prioritizing political messaging over policy formation? The Heritage Foundation.

Whose president might be in contention for White House chief of staff in a second Trump term? The Heritage Foundation.

It was against this backdrop that Heritage’s chief told a national television audience, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” which was every bit as unsettling as it seemed.

The Heritage Foundation is now a right wing nut job organization that is not recognizable from the organization that Orin Hatch knew.
