The SPLC Pays Racists To Do Racist Things (Updated)

  • “…virtually every significant racist in American political history was a Democrat.”

— Bruce Bartlett, Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party’s Buried Past (New York, NY: Palgrave MacMillan, 2008), ix;

  • “…not every Democrat was a KKK’er, but every KKK’er was a Democrat.”

— Ann Coulter, Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama (New York, NY: Sentinel [Penguin], 2012), 19.

There has been some excellent responses to the story of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) paying racist organizations so they could fundraise. I have quite a few posts on the SPLC, so First I will link many of those for the interested party’s. (Newest to the oldest)

(You don’t dislike Democrats enough)

The Southern Poverty Law Center leveraged its credibility from fighting the KKK to smear mainstream conservatives — placing them on a “hate map” and “extremist watch list” alongside neo-Nazis and actual Klan chapters.

Targets included:

  • Turning Point USA
  • PragerU
  • Dr. Ben Carson
  • Stephen Miller
  • Sen. Rand Paul
  • Jack Posobiec
  • Matt Walsh
  • Chaya Raichik
  • James Lindsay
  • Mike Cernovich
  • Moms for Liberty
  • David Horowitz
  • Franklin Graham
  • Charles Murray
  • Dennis Prager
  • Frank Gaffney
  • Heritage Foundation
  • The Federalist Society

These are mainstream conservative figures—authors, scholars, influencers, elected officials, student organizations, and parent groups—branded as extremists for political disagreement.

Their sole offense was disagreeing with the SPLC’s politics.

Yet the SPLC listed them in the same database as terrorist organizations and white supremacist hate groups.

The real-world consequences followed.

In 2012, a gunman targeted the Family Research Council after using the SPLC’s “hate map” as a guide.

Months before Charlie Kirk’s murder, the SPLC added Turning Point USA to that same map.

One day before his death, it published a Hatewatch article smearing him under “Dismantling White Supremacy.”

When Tyler Robinson was asked by his parents why he killed Charlie, he said, “the guy spreads too much hate.”

For decades, the SPLC exploited its reputation to recast political opposition as hatred — pressuring the federal government, Big Tech, and the American public to treat conservative Americans as domestic enemies.

Yesterday we learned it was also secretly funding the very neo-Nazis and Klan members it claimed to oppose — using donor money to pay the leaders of the same hate groups it was publicly denouncing.

How many reputations and lives did they destroy while secretly funding the very hate groups they claimed to oppose?

SPLC invested $270k in Charlottesville and got $81 million in additional donations. Extraordinary returns.

LOUDER with CROWDER

The Department of Justice just indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center, the organization that partnered with Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, and Mastercard to label YOU an extremist, for secretly funding white supremacist groups including the KKK, the National Alliance, and the organizers of the Charlottesville Unite The Right rally. Click here for today’s sources:

A grand jury just hit the Southern Poverty Law Center with an 11-count indictment — six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering — after the DOJ found the SPLC paid over $3 million to members of the KKK, Aryan Nations, and neo-Nazi groups, then fundraised off the very extremism it manufactured. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch laid out the charges, including $270,000 paid to a Charlottesville rally organizer, while Kash Patel delivered a JAW-DROPPING response to an Atlantic reporter and announced a $250 million defamation lawsuit.
