The event, organized by the then-nascent #EdmundBurkeFoundation, drew rising stars of the New Right: #JohnHawley, …#JDVance, fmr #FauxNews host #TuckerCarlson, & #tech #billionaire (& backer of #Vance) #PeterThiel. The coalition convened to push a new ideology. They hoped to create a conservative ethos “inextricably tied to the idea of the nation” & an “intellectually serious alternative to the excesses of purist libertarianism, & in stark opposition to political theories grounded in #race.”
