Rhodes College alumni have resorted to citing SPLC smears against @AllianceDefends in order to betray their former classmate — and sorority sister — Amy Coney Barrett. pjmedia.com/news-and-polit…
The SPLC is NOT a reliable arbiter of "hate," especially when it comes to ADF, as I explained in my book #MakingHatePay. The SPLC uses guilt-by-association to suggest ADF belongs on a list with the KKK.
ADF's @Jeremy_Tedesco and Alan Sears have debunked the SPLC's smears. Former ACLU President Nadine Strossen and MRFF President @MikeyWeinstein admire the SPLC but condemned the "hate group" attack on ADF. pjmedia.com/news-and-polit…
It is despicable that ACB's fellow alumni and sorority sister resort to citing the SPLC — just a year after a racial discrimination and sexual harassment scandal at the far-left org — in order to fight Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation. pjmedia.com/news-and-polit…

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.
Salesforce, a 75K-employee firm, uses Benevity to help workers make an impact. Benevity helps employees support causes they believe in, donating before taxes, matching grants, and volunteering. But Salesforce blacklisted conservatives using SPLC.
SPLC leverages its reputation of suing KKK groups into bankruptcy, putting out a "hate map" that plots mainstream conservative and Christian groups alongside Klan chapters. How do you get on the map? By opposing the SPLC's agenda.
