Pence to join Heritage Foundation, organization announces
Source: Washington Post
Former vice president Mike Pence will join the conservative Heritage Foundation as a distinguished visiting fellow, the organization announced Thursday.
Pences role will involve advising Heritage staff on policy issues, delivering a series of speeches on policy issues and contributing a monthly column for the Daily Signal, a Heritage Foundation publication.
Over the course of the past four years, our team at Heritage has worked closely with members of the Trump administration on a host of policy accomplishments, Heritage President Kay C. James said in a statement. Thats why I am excited Vice President Mike Pence will join forces with Heritage to ensure we continue to advance conservative principles and policy solutions. His allegiance to the Constitution and commitment to advancing a conservative policy agenda make him an outstanding fit for The Heritage Foundation.

Hell... Sucker Carlson already ranted against them and pretty much declared them as no longer "conservative", garnering record ratings!

Tucker Carlson's rebuke of the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation drew more than three million viewers to Fox News on Friday night, a figure that beat the network's own program, Hannity, and MSNBC' The Rachel Maddow Show. Fox News held an average of 2.5 million primetime viewers in 2019 giving the network its highest-rated year ever.
On Friday's Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host criticized The Heritage Foundation for its alleged views on protecting the rights of big technology companies, saying it "no longer represents the interests of conservatives." "And then there's The Heritage Foundation, maybe the biggest and best-funded think tank in Washington," Carlson said. "Half the conservatives in this city seem to have worked there at one time or another. To this day, there are a lot of nice and very well-meaning people at Heritage but as an organization, Heritage no longer represents the interests of conservatives, at least on the question of tech."
Carlson cited a paper by The Heritage Foundation called "Free Enterprise is the Best Remedy for Online Bias Concerns" as evidence that The Heritage Foundation "defends the special privileges that Congress has given to Silicon Valley left-wing monopolies." "And if conservatives don't like it, Heritage says, well, they can just go and make their own Google," Carlton said.
"They make deals with people who hate you," Carlson added. "They secretly sell out your interests, then they beg you to tithe like it's the medieval church. Like you owe them your money. That's the system that we've had for decades. Maybe that's why no matter how much money you send, nothing gets more conservative. Just the opposite. You wonder just how long this system can continue."
