The leader of the Heritage Foundation issued an unhinged declaration on Tuesday, telling liberals that they are currently on the business end of “the second American Revolution,” which could turn bloody if they resist.
Kevin Roberts, the election conspiracy theorist who leads Heritage, appeared on the far-right Real America’s Voice network. He hailed a spate of conservative rulings handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court, which on Monday decreed that Donald Trump and all presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts.”
“We’re in the process of taking this country back,” Roberts told viewers. “No one in the audience should be despairing.
But number three, let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning.
And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."
