New American: Shortly after the news broke that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) still maintained some ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — a far-left fringe group widely condemned as an anti-Christian “hate group” by critics — Attorney General Jeff Sessions dropped the hammer. Speaking in front of a mainstream Christian group of pro-freedom attorneys maligned by the SPLC, the Justice Department chief pledged that the DOJ would not be partnering with any organizations that unfairly slander or discriminate against Americans for their faith. Everybody, including the SPLC, knew exactly who Sessions was talking about — the SPLC, of course.
While the radical group has become increasingly discredited and marginalized in recent years, the attorney general’s comments may represent the final nail in the coffin for whatever credibility the SPLC might have still possessed among law enforcement. MORE
Nah, I don’t think Law Enforcement ever saw SPLC as a Legit organization.
The SPLC has been far left for its entire existence. If there were ties to the Justice Department they should be cut.
Jeff, Now is the time to strip them of their tax exempt status for their hatemongering.
It warms my heart to see those terms used in reference to SPLC: radical, discredited, marginalized, condemned. More people need to be made aware that this is a money- and power-hungry group willing to do anything for attention.
In their earliest beginnings, they had validity. Now? No.
“”Those on both the Left and Right have the same question: what kind of nonprofit that has ‘poverty’ in its name hoards nearly a hundred million dollars in offshore accounts? The SPLC will now have to update its treasure map to keep track of its massive offshore fortune,” said Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin, the executive vice president of the Family Research Council.”

“…The SPLC holds $328 million in net assets and raised more than $50 million in contributions in 2015 despite spending just $61,000 on legal services….”

The dismantling of another piece of
the lefts’ illicit quasi-governmental machinery is great to see.
Thank God for Trump.
Good job Jeff, now resign.
Why was this not done 18 years ago?
Will the DOJ now be considered a hate group.
