Prominent conservative commentator and radio host Mark R. Levin has paid tribute to the late Ed Feulner, the founding president of The Heritage Foundation, following news of his passing.
In a heartfelt message shared with his followers, Levin expressed deep sorrow over the loss, calling Feulner “a massively important leader behind modern day conservatism.”
“I just heard about the passing of Ed Feulner. What a tremendous loss,” Levin stated. “I cannot adequately honor him here but will do so on radio Monday. May he RIP.”
Feulner, a towering figure in American conservative thought, played a pivotal role in shaping policy through his leadership at The Heritage Foundation, a think tank that influenced Republican administrations and lawmakers for decades.
Under his guidance, the Foundation became a key player in Washington, pushing for free markets, limited government, and a strong national defense.
Levin, who has long admired Feulner’s contributions, is expected to dedicate a full segment of his upcoming radio show to reflect on the legacy of the late conservative icon.
Many on the political right are also expected to share tributes and memories in the coming days.
Feulner’s passing marks the end of an era for traditional conservatism, but his intellectual and strategic contributions to the movement will be remembered for generations.
As Levin and others mourn his loss, the conservative world reflects on a life that helped shape the American political landscape.
