"Top Republican lawmakers honored the life and legacy of Heritage Foundation founder and former President Edwin J. Feulner in a video tribute Monday.  

You could make the argument that Ed [Feulner] did more for the advancement of conservative thought than any person in this arena,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said in the video featuring the current and previous leaders of the House Republican Study Committee.  

We stand on his shoulders today,” Johnson said of Feulner, later adding that Feulner “lived out the ideals that he impressed on everybody around him. He lived it. He showed us the way.”
