"We will always defend truth, we will always defend America, and we will always defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who serve someone else's agenda. That includes Tucker Carlson, said Roberts. I disagree with, and even abhor, things that Nick Fuentes says, but canceling him is not the answer either."
"The intellectual backbone of the conservative movement' is only as strong as the values it defends, wrote McConnell.

Ted Cruz: I am very proud to be a Christian Zionist. There are some people who are embraced by individuals at the highest levels of government who have said there is no one they hate"
Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, posted a video defending Tucker Carlson's interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and argued against canceling Fuentes. Roberts framed the defense as protecting truth, America, and friends from slander by bad actors. Senator Mitch McConnell publicly condemned Heritage's defense, wrote that the conservative movement's strength depends on its values, and said conservatives should feel no obligation to support antisemites or apologists for autocrats. At the Republican Jewish Coalition summit, Senator Ted Cruz disavowed the interview, called offering a stage to a Fuentes-like figure cowardly and complicit, and denounced praise for Adolf Hitler.
