The SPLC Hearing Goes Off the Rails – 6.9.26
The SPLC has been in the news quite a bit since their indictment in April.
Now the group is testifying in front of Congress over the allegations that they funneled money to hate groups.
The Hill:
The SPLC announced in April that it was under investigation by the Justice Department and in May pleaded not guilty to using a now-defunct informant program to pay hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The center at the time called the indictment the “latest manifestation of a top-down, retributive campaign” and asked a judge to toss the case.
Today a hearing was held to “examine the role that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has played in distorting civil rights policy in recent years.”
Things got heated.
Before we get to the mud slinging though, watch the amazing opening statement from Dr. Alveda King.
The Dems didn’t appreciate King’s takedown of the SPLC. And soon she was fighting with Rep. Jamie Raskin.
Another idiotic Dem took aim at King—this time it was Jasmine Crockett.
The President of the SPLC also had some time behind the mic… and it didn’t go well for him.
