“Former Vice President Mike Pence’s political group is poaching top officials from the conservative Heritage Foundation amid growing ideological fights within the conservative movement and backlash at the prominent foundation,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Pence’s Washington-based group… is slated to hire about 15 of Heritage’s employees including several of its prominent leaders.”

Explained Pence: “Why these people are coming our way is that Heritage and some other voices and commentators have embraced big-government populism and have been willing to tolerate antisemitism.”
