The Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Southern Poverty Law Center have plenty of opponents on the right, but the leftist civil rights groups appear to hold some sway with the Trump Organization’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Less than two weeks after the leftist groups pressured Mar-a-Lago to cancel a booking for an ACT for America gala featuring conservative pundit Michelle Malkin, the resort has come under pressure to scrap the annual banquet of the Center for Security Policy, another conservative national security organization listed by the SPLC as a “hate group.”
“The Trump Organization made the right decision to cancel a previous event hosted by an anti-Muslim hate group, and we call them to do so again,” said CAIR government affairs director Robert McCaw, adding that President Trump “should not profit from a group that makes its money by demonizing an entire faith.”
Pushing back was Center for Security Policy President Fred Fleitz, a former Trump administration national security official who slammed the “anti-Muslim” label as “completely inaccurate.”
“Look, Muslim Americans are an important part of our society,” Mr. Fleitz said. “They’re doctors and lawyers, friends and neighbors, and we’re lucky to have them. They shouldn’t be discriminated against, or subject to any type of violence, or denied any rights, and that’s something I feel very strongly about.”
He said the center’s priorities include promoting its work in defense of Israel and opposing anti-Semitism “from the far left and far right.”
“We do a lot of things — Korea, China, the Iran nuclear program, cybersecurity,” Mr. Fleitz said. “And we have talked about radical Islam, and that’s just too politically incorrect for the left. They go after anybody who talks about this.”

Michele Malkin as “ hate speech”
Smh
Two hate groups the SPLC and CAIR that work hard against America!
Is any of this true— did SPLC and CAIR pressure Mar-A-Lago on these contracted meetings/business conventions?
It is NONE of their business to pressure a location in such a manner.
Find it difficult to believe for example that Malkin would be pressured at all.
If this is true— something needs to be done to both CAIR and SPLC— for they are TRULY hate organizations.
Continue to expose the SPLC offshore accounts, taxable consequences. CAIR’s obviouse muslim terrorism connections. Push THEM— back hard.
Spot on! Watch Brigitte Gabriel expose the Left’s “Wrap-up Smear.” This is their newest political weapon against the American people:

Leaders at the SPLC have been found to have committed racist acts and sexual harassment. Good grief, why does SPLC have any credibility? CAIR, in my opinion, is in the same category as the SPLC.
