Ryan Neuhaus, the former chief of staff to Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts who was reassigned last Friday after Roberts released a controversial video statement defending Tucker Carlson,\u00a0resigned from the organization on Monday.<\/p>\n
In an email announcing Neuhaus\u2019s reassignment last week, one day after the release of Roberts\u2019s statement, Roberts wrote, \u201cRyan remains a vital part of our team and is joining the Simon Center as a Senior Advisor to work on critical issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRyan\u2019s energy and acumen will be a great benefit to our efforts to preserve the intellectual and moral underpinnings of our nation\u2019s Founding. I know he will flourish in this new role,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
But on Monday, The Hill\u2019s Emily Brooks reported that Neuhaus had stepped down.<\/p>\n
\u201cRyan was not fired. He offered his resignation, which was accepted,\u201d a Heritage spokesperson told Brooks. \u201cRyan is a good man, we appreciate his service, and we have no doubt he will serve the movement in another capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n
From Brooks\u2019s report<\/a>:<\/p>\n Neuhaus had angered Heritage staff and other conservative movement allies after he had reposted a number of messages of support for Roberts and his defense of Carlson on social media, including one particularly controversial statement that Heritage employees who were \u201cvirtual signaling\u201d in wake of the remarks should \u201cresign if so outraged,\u201d and that it \u201cwould be addition by subtraction for the institution.\u201d<\/p>\n After Carlson hosted infamous white nationalist Nick Fuentes for a friendly interview last week, Roberts issued a statement<\/a> denouncing Carlson\u2019s critics in harsh terms.<\/p>\n \u201cWe 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\u2019s agenda. That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains \u2013 and as I have said before, always will be \u2013 a close friend of the Heritage Foundation. The venomous coalition attacking him are sowing division. Their attempt to cancel him will fail,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n Roberts was criticized by a wide range of conservatives, including many on his own payroll<\/a>, over his comments.<\/p>\n The post Kevin Roberts Ally Out at the Heritage Foundation Amid Continued Tucker Carlson Fallout<\/a> first appeared on Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"X\/@KevinRobertsTX Ryan Neuhaus, the former chief of staff to Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts who was reassigned last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,144580,144579,88,124212,143214,144578,39690],"class_list":{"0":"post-269942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-controversial-statement","10":"tag-emily-brooks","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-heritage-foundation","13":"tag-kevin-roberts","14":"tag-ryan-neuhaus","15":"tag-tucker-carlson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
