Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts announced staff reassignments on Friday in the wake of the conservative uproar over his statement defending Tucker Carlson for interviewing white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Roberts tapped the think tank’s executive vice president Derrick Morgan to serve as acting chief of staff until the end of the year. Ryan Neuhaus, who was serving in the role, was moved to be a senior adviser.

He made the announcement in an email to staff late Friday with the subject line: “Heritage’s Stand Against Antisemitism and for Civilizational Truth.” The email, obtained by The Hill, opened by saying the thank tank had “launched and expanded numerous explicit efforts to combat antisemitism” under his leadership.

“Our position on Israel is principled and balanced: there’s a great deal of space between believing Israel can do no wrong and blaming it for every wrong,” the Heritage chief wrote. Roberts went on to say that the organization is “also standing firm against cancel culture,” but that “rejecting cancel culture does not mean tolerating evil.”

He added, “At Heritage, we understand the moment we are in. This is a time for moral courage and conviction. We will continue to lead—not by silencing dissent, but by confronting and defeating bad ideas with Truth.” The think tank president said the changes were made to “ensure we meet this moment with focus and excellence.”
