Reports: Jim DeMint On His Way Out As President Of Heritage Foundation
Source: Talking Points Memo
Jim DeMint is on his way out as the president of the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, Politico and the New York Times reported Friday.
Politico first reported, according to three unnamed people with knowledge of the situation, that the former South Carolina senator’s ouster would follow a difference of opinion on a variety of issues with a portion of the foundation’s board.
The far-right foundation, funded in part by billionaire Republican kingmakers Charles and David Koch and their network, became more politically active during DeMint’s tenure. He took up the office in 2013, and has used its political advocacy arm, Heritage Action, to target Republicans in Washington, D.C. deemed insufficiently conservative. The foundation did not immediately respond to TPM’s questions about DeMint’s status.
One unnamed operative who has worked with Heritage told Politico, “If Heritage pushes Jim DeMint out it was because a few board members, who are close to the Republican establishment, never wanted him to be president and have been working to push him out ever since.”

Fuck them. 
or not crackpot enough?
Let me guess: not crackpot enough. Gotta be more cruel re dumpcare.
These bastards don't get it: the American public--other than the brainwashed faux and flush adherents--don't want their sh*tty agenda.
