The SPLC and CAIR are pressuring donor-advised funds to blacklist conservative and Christian "hate groups" in an attempt to defund their political opponents. DAFs had $121 billion in 2018. /1
pjmedia.com/trending/splc-…
In calling for this blacklisting, the report praises #ChangeTheTerms, a coalition of Soros-funded groups that pressure #BigTech to silence conservatives on the SPLC "hate group" list. /2 pjmedia.com/trending/splc-…
The entire report is very circular. In addition to citing Change the Terms, it cites a CAIR report from last year, urging philanthropic groups to blacklist "anti-Muslim hate groups," citing — once again — the SPLC "hate group" list. /3 pjmedia.com/trending/anti-…
The SPLC/CAIR report also cites Amalgamated Bank's "Hate Is Not Charitable" campaign, which is — sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record here — an attempt to blacklist SPLC-accused "hate groups." /4 pjmedia.com/trending/25-do…
Oh, and the report praises GuideStar for smearing groups like @FRCdc, @AllianceDefends, @CIS_org, @securefreedom, @ACTforAmerica, and others as "hate groups." GuideStar later recanted, but SPLC and CAIR wish it hadn't. /5 pjmedia.com/faith/2017/06/…
Urging donor-advised funds to blacklist these groups is a huge deal. DAFs represent a huge chunk of philanthropy in America today, and they allow donors some degree of anonymity with their giving. Leftists like to demonize donors to conservative groups, as @AFPhq knows well. /6
The SPLC "hate group" list is also notoriously corrupt and unreliable. Former employees have called it a "scam" because it exaggerates hate and is intended to destroy political opponents. A huge chunk of my book, #MakingHatePay, focuses on this. /7
To its credit(?), the report acknowledges that blacklisting falsely-accused "hate groups" might seem "controversial," but it claims this is important for "public safety," which is ironic since the SPLC "hate map" inspired an attempted terrorist attack in 2012. /8
The SPLC routinely peppers reports like this w/ references to white supremacist terror, the El Paso shooter (a radical environmentalist as well), and white supremacist groups, giving the impression that "hate group" has KKK connotations, which it does. /9 pjmedia.com/trending/splc-…
Yet the SPLC routinely argues in court that its "hate group" accusation is mere meaningless opinion. This report, like so many others, gives the lie to that claim — they cite the number of "hate groups" as a statistically significant measure for white supremacy. /10
It is important to note that this report praises iTunes, PayPal, and AmazonSmile for taking "measures to screen out hate from their platforms." What does this mean? These #BigTech firms have allowed themselves to be weaponized by the SPLC. /11 pjmedia.com/trending/its-b…
Make no mistake: the SPLC is an engine of defamation, fundraising, and political warfare. It aims to destroy the reputations of conservative and Christian groups, even going after their funding, while making wads of cash by exaggerating hate. /12
Donor-advised funds that are tempted to take this report seriously should check out my book, #MakingHatePay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Don't become a tool for the SPLC to further bilk its donors, defame law-abiding Americans, and worsen polarization. /13

🚨BREAKING EXCLUSIVE

How does Corporate America systematically blacklist conservatives? It outsources the dirty work to morally bankrupt smear factory, using a "hate map" that actually inspired violence.😲

Here's how it works, and how conservatives are fighting back.

🧵1/12 Image
Meet Benevity. Nearly 1,000 enterprise companies use this platform for philanthropy.

Benevity manages employees' giving to nonprofits before taxes, companies matching employee contributions, employee volunteering, and corporate grants.

🧵2/12 Image
Benevity has managed $18.5B in donations, directed 99M volunteer hours, working with 513,000 nonprofits, but vetting 2.2M.

What does the "vetting" entail?🤔

🚨TARGETING CONSERVATIVES

However bad you think the Biden DOJ was, new documents show that it was even worse.

The Civil Rights Division had a disturbingly close relationship with a group tied to Antifa, a group that compares conservatives to the KKK.

🧵1/14 Image
I am referring to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which puts conservative & Christian groups on a "hate map" with KKK chapters, suggesting a similar hatred drives them.

Then-SPLC President Margaret Huang bragged about advising the Biden admin on "domestic terrorism."

🧵2/14
New docs obtained by @America1stLegal show DOJ Civil Rights Division head Kristen Clarke asking Huang for tips to track "matters of concern."

🧵MEDIA BIAS

Kash Patel announced that the FBI had cut ties from the SPLC today.

This was long in coming. I'd know—I wrote the book about the SPLC.

I was shocked, though not surprised, to see the media twist the story.

🧵1/20 Image
SPLC puts mainstream conservatives on a "hate map" with the KKK. This inspired a terror attack in 2012. This year, SPLC added Turning Point USA to the "hate map" before Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Liberals have joined conservatives in slamming the SPLC's extreme bias.

🧵2/20
This came after news the SPLC cut ties to the Anti-Defamation League.

Why? The ADL has demonized critics of transgender ideology, and it bent over backwards to suggest the Nashville transgender shooter was not an example of "left-wing extremism."

🚨BREAKING EXCLUSIVE

The FBI under Kash Patel has formally cut all ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center

This is HUGE

🧵1/5 Image
“The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine,” @Kash_Patel told me. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans & even inspired violence.”

“That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.”

🧵2/5
This comes after I and a chorus of conservative voices, including @elonmusk, @Cernovich, @JackPosobiec, and so many others rightly called on the FBI to officially cut ties.

🚨TIME TO CUT ALL TIES

Kash Patel's FBI rightly cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, which tried to weaponize law enforcement against critics of transgender ideology.

Now, it needs to officially declare its separation from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

🧵1/10 Image
The SPLC gained its reputation by suing the KKK into bankruptcy.

Then, it used its "Klanwatch" to target conservatives.

Now, it puts mainstream conservatives on a "hate map" with chapters of the KKK.

The Biden admin enlisted SPLC for advice on domestic terrorism😲

🧵2/10
In 2012, a terrorist used the "hate map" to target @FRCdc.

In 2017, the man who shot @SteveScalise at a Congressional Baseball Game practice had "liked" SPLC on Facebook.

SPLC added Turning Point USA to the hate map a few months before Charlie Kirk's assassination

🚨'LET YOUR RAGE FUEL YOU'

After she faced a politically motivated death threat, @KimTaylor_VA points the finger at @SpanbergerForVA for comments she made in June.

“Words like these have consequences, and my family felt them firsthand,” Taylor told me.

🧵1/12 Image
After Charlie Kirk's assassination, @winwithwinsome's campaign resurfaced this clip from a speech Spanberger gave.

Spanberger's campaign says it was taken out of context (she told supporters to make phone calls).

🧵2/12
Authorities arrested Michael Ray Strawmyer, 33, for threatening to take Kim Taylor's life.

The threat came just two weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
