On Thursday night, the president of the Heritage Foundation the MAGA rights leading think tank welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition.
You might think I am exaggerating. I assure you I am not. The Nazi in question here, podcaster Nick Fuentes, has described Adolf Hitler as really fucking cool and said perfidious Jews must be given the death penalty after we take power.
And on Thursday, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts released a video defending this persons inclusion in polite-right politics: describing Fuentes not as a hate-monger to be banished from the decent right, but as a coalition member whose view of Jews-as-evil-traitors should be politely debated.
The American people expect us to be focusing on our political adversaries on the left, not attacking our friends on the right, Roberts said. I disagree with, and even abhor, things that Nick Fuentes says. But canceling him is not the answer.
