The Heritage Foundation is erupting in open revolt against its president, Kevin Roberts, as the right-wing think tank struggles to deal with internal and external anger over his defense of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The furor began after Carlson invited Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist who routinely espouses antisemitic views, onto his popular podcast. Roberts then posted a video that castigated a “venomous coalition” and “the globalist class” for attacking Carlson, whom Roberts called “a close friend of the Heritage Foundation.” Numerous Heritage staffers and conservative figures said the comments played on antisemitic tropes.

Right there in his own words for those that care to see. He lovingly caters to a class so wealthy that they feel no allegence to any country or nation. While at the same time decrying globalists. It's not contradictory though. The term globalist is just another dogwhistle in the long history of fascist dogwhistles.

This is an excellent point.

Traitorapist Trump getting billions of $$ from the Saudis for his "cybercoin" he invented out of thin air makes him quite the globalist also.
