Last night I shared my resignation letter from the Heritage Foundation. Today, the story continues to develop.
The Wall Street Journal reports that 15 staffers are moving from Heritage to Advancing American Freedom (AAF).
Among those joining AAF are John Malcolm, the head of the foundation's legal and judicial studies center, Kevin Dayaratna, the head of the foundation's data analysis center and Richard Stern, the director of the foundation's economic policy studies institute. AAF said it is bringing on about a dozen other staff members. Malcolm is taking seven members of his center's team. . . .
"After Kevin Roberts's video, I had several judges, academics, and prominent practitioners come up to me, personal friends of mine, who said 'we love you, we love the Meese Center, but we're not going to do anything with the Heritage Foundation in the future,'" Malcolm, the departing expert, said. "The Kevin Roberts video was a seminal moment inside the organization."
