#KevinRoberts, who took over Washington’s preeminent *conservative think tank* in 2021, declared a “second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be,” during an appearance on a pro-Trump podcast in July, before a gunman attempted to assassinate #Trump at a rally in PA. That same month, Roberts started marketing his book, whose cover proposed “Burning Down Washington” & featured an image of a match.

#KevinRoberts declined to be interviewed. #HeritageFoundation spox Noah Weinrich said Roberts’s remark on the podcast was meant to warn of left-wing #violence [despite overwhelming evidence that the majority of #PoliticalViolence is committed by the #FarRight]. “Any attempt to mischaracterize Dr. Roberts’ comments as supportive of violence is grotesque & completely contrary to the observation he was making,” he said.
