The hit piece on the stepson of @marklevinshow is the best example of how progressive foreign policy is peddled through Quincy/Responsible Statecraft to Tucker/Kent to conservatives. In August of 2025,Shahed Ghoreishi blamed Milstein for his firing and described alleged interference with statements about Gaza. He framed the dispute as a departure from Trump’s America First policy. This is the person who kicked off the campaign against Huckabee’s aide who is David Milstein over Gaza/Israel messaging in 2025. Some fun facts: he interned for NAIC and came into the State Department through Biden. Ironically he spent three years at the Soros/Koch/Parsi Defense Priorities think tank. Parsi used to run NAIC. 2020–2021: He was a fellow advocating foreign-policy restraint. His publications supported withdrawal from Syria and diplomatic engagement with Iran. He was the communications manager at the progressive Win Without War think tank. 2018-2023 he published very critical pieces about every single one of Trumps foreign policy decisions. Then Tucker had him on as an expert on America First foreign policy expert. Then his progressive think tank defended him and Defense Priorities ran a hit piece about Milstein as having hijacked Trumps foreign policy. Quite an accomplishment for someone working as an aide. A rejected policy draft supplied another “rogue aide” storyline. Reuters reported that Milstein helped drive a proposed statement condemning allied settlement-related sanctions. Reuters reviewed the draft; it was never released, and its reporting described insufficient support in Washington. In May of 2025 “Words About War Matter” language guide acknowledges help from: Shahed Ghoreishi Eli Clifton, a Responsible Statecraft journalist and Quincy adviser Quincy Institute Win Without War The acknowledgments establish participation in the same project, without specifying who contributed which passages or whether the individuals worked directly together. The guide explicitly seeks to influence how journalists and others describe foreign policy. The guy who kicked off these allegations which we actually cannot verify because most of them come from anonymous sources, and the only one actual substantive piece of evidence comes from a draft that was never accepted by Huckabee‘s office. “Stephen Heintz chairs Quincy’s board and led Rockefeller Brothers Fund from 2001 to 2026. Rockefeller’s current biography now calls him president emeritus, correcting older Quincy biographies that still describe him as its president. The same biography credits him with leading a Track II Iran dialogue beginning in 2002 that helped prepare the ground for the 2015 nuclear agreement.” Strange but not so strange to see these so-called conservatives or I should say progressive go after Trump’s ambassador to Israel and his aide. Because really they’re also going after Mark Levin. Because what they can’t do is go after Donald Trump directly yet.
