Heritage scholar flips script on Sen. Whitehouse with reference to all-White private beach club
Fox News
Heritage Foundation economist Diana Furchtgott-Roth called out climate hawk Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse for his family fortune's ties to the fossil fuel industry.
"I don’t have the benefit of being able to rely on a family fortune made in the Minnesota gas business, or having my spouse’s family fortune come from United Gas," Furchtgott-Roth told Whitehouse on Wednesday at a Senate Budget Committee hearing titled, "Who Pays the Price: The Real Cost of Fossil Fuels."

"And The Heritage Foundation is a club that anyone can join, not just White people," she added. "During 2021, it had hundreds of thousands of individual, foundation and corporate supporters representing every state in the United States."
