The claim that the owner of Hobby Lobby, David Green, is also the finance director of the Heritage Foundation is false. While both men share the same name, they are two different individuals with distinct career paths and backgrounds. The David Green at Hobby Lobby founded the company in 1970 and no longer owns it, choosing to give away ownership to support ministries and Christian causes. On the other hand, the David Green at the Heritage Foundation graduated from Virginia Tech in 1994 and has a background in banking, auditing, and nonprofits.
The social media post linking the Heritage Foundation to Project 2025 is accurate, as the foundation was involved in developing a playbook for the incoming Republican presidential administration. The post received significant attention with about 100 reposts in 18 days, but fact-checkers from PolitiFact and Reuters also debunked the claim.
Basic biographical details, as well as photos and resumes, clearly distinguish between the two men named David Green. Despite the misinformation in the social media post, it is important to verify claims before spreading them further, as in this case, where two individuals with the same name were mistakenly linked to each other.
