Former Sen. DeMint to be ousted from Heritage Foundation
[Politico] The controversial president of The Heritage Foundation, former Sen. Jim DeMint, will soon be out of a job, following a dispute with board members about the direction of conservative think tank, according to three people with knowledge of the situation.Some Heritage board members believe that DeMint has brought in too many Senate allies and made the think tank too bombastic and political -- to the detriment of its research and scholarly aims. Skipping down to what may have gone awry: Heritage Action, despite its reputation as the uncompromising ideological enforcer, had in recent months been working to soften its sharp edges -- and even to reach out to Democrats.
