This is the same guy who harrassed Amy Chua and her family. Little surprise he thinks there can be no negotiation with white people who voted for Trump.
Remember the results of this question: “Do you ever think: ‘we’d be better off as a country if large numbers of the opposing party in the public today just died’?” Answering Yes:
20% of Democrats
16% of Republicans nytimes.com/2019/03/13/opi…

The Kevin Roberts controversy doesn't take place in a vacuum. Polls consistently show Israel has cratering support among young Americans, including conservatives, many of whom say they can't voice critical opinions without being called anti-Semitic: thespectator.com/topic/how-isra…
There is an active dispute among older and Millennial conservatives on how to confront this largely Zoomer phenomenon, and Roberts clearly has his own take on that question.
Unfortunately for pro Israel forces, this one sets up to benefit their anti-Israel opponents either way. If heads roll at Heritage, it's a vindication of their message about institutional priorities and donor power. If they don't, they'll claim it's a sign of their strength.
Why do most DC thinktanks still exist when they've had zero policy successes for the past 8 years, with the obvious exception of Brookings engineering Russiagate?
As I've written previously, the policy successes of the DC right thinktanks were welfare reform (Heritage), the Iraq surge (AEI), and judicial shift toward liberty (Cato, the most successful). What have they done in the past ten years?
I can list the accomplishments from @ManhattanInst @FamStudies @NCLAlegal @TheFIREorg off the top of my head ... but their budgets are much smaller.
First, not a single candidate Trump endorsed who lost backed his fictional "no exceptions even in the case of rape incest or life of the mother". Literally zero Republican candidates think abortion should be banned when a mother's life is at risk.
Second, Trump claims the pro-life position moved large numbers of voters against Republicans. Yet the most pro-life R incumbent candidates all won! DeSantis, Kemp, Abbott, DeWine, go down the list. And all the Senate candidates who won were super pro-life too. Oops!
