SPLC ^ | 11-10-2016 | Mark Potok

Kobach has for many years been “of counsel” to the Immigration Reform Law Institute, which is the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has for many years listed FAIR as a hate group — its founder has written that the United States should have “a European-American majority, and a clear one at that,” and corresponded with Klan lawyers, Holocaust deniers and others as he

Have you seen the resumes of the current cabinet, Mr Liberal Talking Head?

Far left extremists by any reasonable standard.

From the comments:

In other words, Trump isn't "draining the swamp" at all. Just like little w he is going to have cronies around him "who have a great grasp on foreign and domestic policy".

My oh my. He's not draining the swamp and he has already been president-elect for 36 hours! Just scandalous. He MUST be lying scum!

HaHaHaHaHa.

Until President-elect Trump assumes the Office, we will have to endure their incendiary rhetoric, which is specifically designed to render hardened resolve toward physical violence.

Once DJT is in power, he’s got an enormous cesspool of excrement to flush, and the SPLC is at the top of the list.

I am wondering about a new label for criminal behavior. I conclude we need to prosecute “criminal protesters” and put a National Guard stop to all of this wrecking of cities and business properties as soon as it starts.

Where is Giuliani when you need him? And Sheriff Clark would make a wonderful strapping director for Homeland Security.

Trump was hated by all the right people during the campaign. Now his team will be hated by all the right people.

If the press and admin were honest they would label them as muslim sleeper agents.
