CON INC? Mike Pence Gets Heritage Foundation Post

Mike Pence is getting a primo spot with a Washington D.C. globalist thinktank that was influential in crafting Obamacare.
Pence has received a spot with the Heritage Foundation where he will work to undermine his former superior’s legacy and attempt to put conservatives back on the establishment reservation. He will serve as a “distinguished visiting fellow” to “lead the conservative movement into the future.”
“Knowing that Vice President Pence is still in the fight is an adrenaline shot for the entire conservative movement,” Heritage President Kay C. James said in a statement.
Pence has been a Conservative Inc. establishment operative for many decades and will now re-assume that very familiar role with Heritage. Pence was president of the Indiana Policy Review Foundation for many years before becoming Indiana governor and then Vice President.
The @Heritage Foundation is a flagship of the conservative movement and I am profoundly honored to join them as a distinguished visiting fellow to advance conservative policies that will benefit every American. ???????? https://t.co/htnz7RE6nm

I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and working with the all-star team at @Heritage as we continue to take the case for a strong national defense, free markets and traditional values to policy makers across the Nation & to every American who cherishes our Heritage of Freedom.

Big League Politics has reported on how Heritage is a front for the globalist establishment that works to empower Google and other Big Tech monopolies to censor conservatives and enact Big Brother:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson blistered the Conservative Inc. front groups that are in bed with Big Tech on Friday, pointing out how well-funded conservative organizations defend Big Tech’s right to censor with special privileges granted to them under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
He blasted the Heritage Foundation, one of the longest standing free market thinktanks in Washington D.C., for carrying water for the left-wing corporate monoliths.
“As an organization, Heritage no longer represents the interests of conservatives, at least on the question of tech,” Carlson said.
Carlson also criticized Heritage for defending “the special privileges that Congress has given to left-wing Silicon Valley monopolies” because they commissioned a white paper arguing that the free market will solve the problem of Draconian censorship of conservatives by Big Tech.
The Heritage Foundation struck back against Carlson on Saturday, issuing a statement claiming that his segment contained “several false, outrageous, and unfounded accusations.”
“Rather than engage in a substantive policy debate, he chose instead to make ad hominem attacks and question our integrity. We are disappointed this came from someone whom we admire and respect,” said Heritage Foundation Vice President of Communications Rob Bluey.
Bluey wrote in the statement that Carlson “failed to acknowledge Heritage experts’ consistent criticism of technology companies” and defended the work of his organization as being “based on the principles that guide all of our policy recommendations.”
Heritage also claimed that “Carlson did not contact us in advance of his segment or provide Heritage with an opportunity to respond to his accusations.”
While Heritage may claim that the private sector will protect the rights of conservatives, the facts indicate otherwise. The free market is doing nothing to protect digital speech, and as a matter of fact, powerful market forces are colluding to enact Big Brother.
Pence’s hiring by Heritage proves what anti-establishment voices were saying about the man all along to be undeniably true. He was subverting President Trump all along and now he’s receiving his spoils.
