At least one more Heritage Foundation board member has resigned amid the ongoing unrest within the organization over President Kevin Roberts’s defense of Tucker Carlson, reported The Dispatch’s senior editor Mike Warren on Friday.

In October, Roberts posted a video message vociferously defending Carlson for interviewing controversial far-right podcaster Nick Fuentes, attacking what he called a “venomous coalition” coming after the former Fox News host. Roberts’s video garnered swift and loud backlash from numerous prominent conservatives — and even several Heritage employees.

Sparks flew at an internal meeting of foundation staff in early November, a video of which was leaked to the press despite warnings that leakers would be fired. Heritage employees lambasted their boss for defending Carlson’s overtly friendly chat with “a Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi;” one staffer denounced Roberts’s video as “a masterclass in cowardice.”

Over the weeks that followed, several key people departed Heritage, including Roberts’s former chief of staff Ryan Neuhaus, former Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore, and board members Robert George, Shane McCullar, and Abby Spencer Moffat.
