An event known as The Forum was recently held by the Heritage Foundation, and it was billed as a place to “facilitate the conversations and debates the Right needs to come back together.” Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts explained the event as follows:

In service to the movement and the country, then, this fall The Heritage Foundation is going to facilitate the conversations and debates the Right needs to come back together. The Forum will be an opportunity for the entire conservative movement to talk through our internal differences in person and at length—away from the snark and posturing of social media “discourse.”

And we mean the entire movement.

The Forum will bring together leaders, lawmakers, scholars, and activists from across the conservative philosophical spectrum—Old Right and New Right, libertarians and traditionalists, neo-cons and paleo-cons, grassroots and establishment, MAGA and pre-MAGA. The goal of The Forum is not to turn the page on fusionist conservatism, but to update fusionism, to forge a new fusionism to meet new challenges.

The mission of The Forum, according to Roberts, “is to identify the problems and forge consensus around the solutions that can fuse together a conservative coalition for a new era.”

Apparently, the problem was identified, and his name is Sen. John Thune. Fox News’s David Marcus reports that Thune took much of the blame for the recent electoral smashing the GOP endured. Marcus shared a video of his interviews with attendees who blamed the Senate’s incompetence for the GOP’s problems. Watch:
