Leading Rabbi Resigns From Heritage's Task Force Over Roberts Remarks
Rabbi Yaakov Menken, one of the nation's leading Orthodox rabbis, announced that he was resigning from the Heritage Foundation's National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism.He cited the failure of the organization's president to condemn Tucker Carlson's antisemitic rhetoric and advocacy.
"We are resigning from the Heritage Foundation's National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, because [Kevin] Roberts is simply not apologizing for what he did," Menken said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America" on Tuesday morning.
He referred to the controversy last week when Roberts posted a video announcing Heritage's support for an interview Tucker Carlson conducted with avowed white supremacist and antisemite Nick Fuentes.
Roberts described critics of Carlson and Fuentes as part of a "venomous coalition."
In his resignation letter, shared with Newsmax, Menken wrote: "We cannot grant legitimacy to an effort to combat antisemitism operated by the Heritage Foundation while Heritage is validating antisemitism and giving it a platform."
His decision, he explained, stems from Roberts' refusal to distance the think tank from Carlson.

Likely all Christians have some anti-Semitism it's just normal really but we all have to remember that the Christian faith came out of the Jewish faith so we need to be respectful of all but I do wish that the Jews would honor and recognize Jesus as being the messiah! Jesus was Jewish after all and we follow him now!
