BREAKING: Kash Patel’s FBI Cuts All Ties to Southern Poverty Law Center

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The FBI has confirmed that it severed all ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left activist group that puts conservatives and Christians on a “hate map” along with Ku Klux Klan chapters. The “hate map” has inspired at least one terrorist attack against a conservative organization.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” FBI Director Kash Patel told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence.”

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

Hahaha...when you said "Rat Fight" I thought you wrote "Cat Fight" and it made me think of my favorite Donald Trump anecdote from the book by Cory Lewandowki about the 2016 campaign "Let Trump be Trump" (I had to do this from memory, it is not exactly what he wrote in the book word for word...I hope this does his account justice):

---

There were two women in the media team of Trump's campaign who were involved in a contentious love triangle, and things came to a head right before a campaign stop. One of the women was one of his speechwriters, I think, the other was a media person.

The speechwriter got so upset at the other woman involved with the same guy she was, that she had to leave the campaign event and didn't see Trump give his speech. When she returned to the plane, Trump was sitting in his favorite spot they always had set up for him on the plane. It was a place where they placed a bunch of newspapers and magazines for him to read, and when he sat down, nobody would disturb him.

I guess it was his "quiet time".

So he sits down, and the sulking speechwriter comes aboard and walks by Trump, who pauses reading asks her how she liked his speech, and without much elaboration she says she didn't see it. Trump didn't display much reaction, and went back to reading his newspaper, held up to hide his face.

The other woman in the love triangle boarded Trump Force One soon thereafter, and two women began to argue with each other.

The argument got louder and louder, and everyone began glancing nervously at both Trump reading his paper and the two women who were approaching the shouting stage, knowing Trump didn't want any distractions while he read his papers.

As the spat reached a crescendo, Trump lowers the paper and yells: “Cat Fight!”

And just as quickly, goes back to reading the newspaper!

Cool. Now arrest them for sedition.

Exactly. Think any prominent Democrats have been "beneficiaries" to attacks on opponents by this "non-profit, non-partisan" group?

Sounds to me like that would be an undeclared:

"Donation In Kind"

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

FINALLY

[Fresh Wind]

LOL!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a vile organization that gave up any pretense of being objective or credible decades ago. They never should have had any affiliation with any government organization.

I know, to me...that speaks volumes about Trump. That is exactly what I would expect someone like him to do, from what I know of him.

If that had been Obama, Biden, or God forbid, Hillary, aides would have been dispatched to reprimand or punish the offending party for disturbing the precious quiet time of the “Dear Leader”.

[proust]

Thank you Kash.

[catnipman]

[PGalt]

Kash Patel’s FBI Cuts All Ties to Southern Poverty Law Center

Excellent!!

The new "ownership" of the FBI keeps improving the service, President Trump should have sold the FBI to Patel at the start of his first term.

The next step is to put SPLC on FBI's and Quiet Skies watch list.

[for-q-clinton]

Why hasn’t he fired a ton more agents?

[Georgia Girl 2]

I didn’t know they had ties in the first place.

[Thank You Rush]

Why was there any partnership in the first place?!””””

The only logical question and I didn’t have to read the other posts first....
