The SPLC released its fear-mongering "hate map" today, despite the coronavirus crisis. This is the same "hate map" that inspired an attempted terrorist attack and that former employees said is a "highly-profitable scam." 1/ pjmedia.com/trending/splc-…
"It is appalling that the SPLC would choose this moment of crisis to launch their divisive and false 'hate report,'" @AllianceDefends's @Jeremy_Tedesco told @PJMedia_com. "They should ... assist communities in productive ways, rather than sow discord and division among them." 2/
The report still includes 6 of the most ridiculous 10 groups @curaffairs Editor @NathanJRobinson identified last year. It also lists 38 defunct chapters of @ACTforAmerica. 3/
Of the 12 "hate groups" associated with @MassResistance, eight are in places that MassResistance does not even have a chapter. "The SPLC is extremely sloppy... Their purpose is not to be accurate, but to cause hysteria and fear among clueless liberals," Brian Camenker told me. 4/
"SPLC’s own employees have identified systematic and long-standing racist and sexist practices and policies. Rather than trying to help the nation in a chaotic and confusing time, SPLC is only dividing the nation," .@FRCdc's @GenBoykin told me. 5/
All this underscores the points I made in my book #MakingHatePay. The SPLC is corrupt and cannot be trusted. 6/6
Can we please stop lying around here? Here's the grand jury indictment laying out why Don Lemon was charged.
At the pre-op briefing Chauntyll Louisa Allen briefed Lemon and the other conspirators about where and what they were doing.
On camera, Nekima Armstrong tells Lemon—who knows the location but is hiding it from his audience—that they're going to "disrupt business as usual" at what we later learned was Cities Church.
When did the disruption start? As the pastor was beginning his sermon.
The agitators "oppressed, threatened, and intimidated the Church's congregants and pastors by physically occupying most of the main aisle and rows of chairs near the front of the Church, engaging in menacing and threatening behavior (for some) chanting and yelling loudly at the pastor and congregants, and/or physically obstructing them as they attempted to exit and/or move about within the church."

In this indictment, we learn that it was William Kelly ("DaWoke Farmer") who shouted at a little kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis? They're going to burn in hell."
When Don Lemon observed others leaving the service, he described people as "frightened," "scared," and "crying," which he said was understandable because the experience was "traumatic and uncomfortable," which he said was the purpose of the invasion.
Again Lemon said "the whole point of [the operation] is to disrupt."
The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought.
Agitators blocked stairs so "parents were unable to get to their children" at Sunday School.😡
One told a kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis, they're going to burn in hell?"

William Kelly, "DaWoke Farmer," shouted, "This ain't God's house. This is the house of the devil."

About 50 members of the congregation were "stuck" towards the front of the church. Not only did the agitators take over the service, but they "made it nearly impossible for parishioners to get out and leave."
The Congressional Black Caucus and 270 left-leaning groups tried to block me from testifying in Congress. Their rationale was extremely hypocritical and, dare I say, Orwellian.
CBC Chair @RepYvetteClarke said the hearing—which focused on my research on the SPLC—was a "deliberate effort to intimidate and discredit an institution that has spent decades defending civil rights, exposing hate, and advancing opportunity for all Americans."

She said the hearing "undermines the very civil institutions that give everyday people voice, protection, and power."
So, she's endorsing the SPLC's "hate" accusations and failing to admit that the SPLC itself has undermined "civil institutions." More on that later.
Here's @RepCohen's press release touting that he questioned the "smear" that the SPLC is anti-Christian, suggesting that he stood up against supposedly false claims.
But I know what really happened, because I was the witness.
🧵1/7
Cohen did mention that some Christians support the SPLC. I don't disagree. It seems he thought I wouldn't be able to defend my assertion that the SPLC is anti-Christian, however.
I came ready to defend the claim.

Here's theclip. Thanks to @chiproytx for allowing Cohen's questions to go over the 5 min in the @JudiciaryGOP hearing.
I noted that the SPLC, when branding @RuthInstitute a "hate group," cited as evidence @DrJrobackmorse's quoting the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Gov-elect Abigail Spanberger apparently doesn’t consider it disqualifying for someone to endorse an activist group that considers the official teaching of your faith “hateful.”
The whistleblower account @Minnesota_DHS went viral after accusing Tim Walz of retaliation against whistleblowers amid the massive fraud scandals. X suspended the account. Conservatives think this was more retaliation.
“Certainly it was retaliation, the question is by whom?” @billglahn with @MNThinkTank told me.
He said the X account had been feeding him information only insiders would know.
🧵2/8
State Rep. @KRobbinsMN suggested "someone went to X and said, 'They're not who they say they are,' which just is not true." Robbins told me that she has met in person with the whistleblowers behind the account.
