He again pressed Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg on whether or not they consider Ben Carson an extremist. c-span.org/video/?c489633… /2
@mattgaetz hit the nail on the head: Why would @JeffBezos trust an organization that takes "mainstream Christian doctrine and label it as hate"? That's what the SPLC routinely does, and it's dangerous. /3 pjmedia.com/news-and-polit…
As I explain in my book #MakingHatePay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the SPLC's defamation against @FRCdc inspired an attempted terrorist attack. Its lies led a senator to compare @AllianceDefends to Cambodian dictator Pol Pot.
The Justice Department just released its report on eradicating anti-Christian bias in the federal government, and it shows that the Biden administration was worse than we knew.
“The Biden admin generally tolerated religious beliefs that were privately held but zealously pursued actions to limit Christians’ ability to act in accordance with their faith,” the report states.

1⃣ANTI-CHRISTIAN ENFORCEMENT
The Biden DOJ targeted pro-lifers, FBI cited the SPLC to go after Catholics, IRS denied a church tax-exempt status for "Republican" beliefs, and the Department of Education brought hefty fines against Christian colleges.
In 2020 I published "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center." My basic thesis: SPLC raised money by fighting the Klan, but ran out of grand dragons to slay. So it juices the numbers to exaggerate "hate."

The SPLC publishes a "hate map" & exaggerates hate 3 ways:
1⃣Highlighting groups that barely exist
2⃣Listing different chapters as a different "hate group"
3⃣Including mainstream conservative and Christian groups, suggesting they're a threat like the KKK once was.
Michigan Sec of State Jocelyn Benson was on the SPLC board when it was funding white nationalists. She’s touted her history with SPLC while running for governor. I asked her campaign for comment: no response.
According to the DOJ, SPLC sent $3M to KKK members, neo-Nazis, a Charlottesville “Unite the Right” organizer, and more. SPLC didn’t deny this-it claimed these people were “informants,” helping SPLC foil violent plots.
While the KKK firebombed the SPLC’s offices in 1983, the indictment covers 2014-2023. During that time, SPLC exaggerated hate by putting mainstream conservatives and Christians on a “hate map” with Klan chapters.
Multiple race-based scholarships have disappeared from the American Medical Association Foundation's website after @donoharm sent a letter to the IRS warning about potential racial discrimination.
“The AMA Foundation appears to have removed the discriminatory scholarships at the heart of our IRS complaint—a tacit admission that our concerns were warranted,” Do No Harm Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Miceli told me.

Most scholarships are still on the website, but the ones Do No Harm flagged have disappeared.
The Association of Black Cardiologists Scholarship is now gone.
The DOJ indictment doesn't just reveal that the SPLC was paying a Charlottesville organizer—it helps flip the Left's whole narrative about the "Unite the Right" rally.
We now know that the SPLC paid one of the Charlottesville organizers $270K between 2015 and 2023, that they allegedly supervised this person's "racist postings" and helped coordinate transportation for white nationalists😲 That's new.

But before the rally, the SPLC also arguably enflamed passions and sparked white nationalists by releasing a map with every Confederate monument across the U.S.—including schools and military bases named after Confederates.
In 2020, I wrote "Making Hate Pay" about the SPLC's corruption. I knew they scammed donors by inflating "hate," and I suspected they were planting racists...
Now @FBIDirectorKash and @DAGToddBlanche confirmed my suspicions.
As I testified before @JudiciaryGOP last year, the SPLC publishes a "hate map" that it claims reveals the "infrastructure of white supremacy" in America.
The hate map includes:
1⃣ random people with no impact
2⃣mainstream conservatives
3⃣people on SPLC payroll.
🧵2/9
I've been analyzing this hate map for years, noting that the SPLC pads the numbers, partly by including groups for no reason other than their disagreement with the SPLC's hard-left agenda, and partly by listing every single chapter of an org as a "hate group."
