RNC Officially Repudiates Discredited Southern Poverty Law Center
Breitbart ^ | 8-24-20 | Allum Bokhari

The Republican National Committee (RNC) approved a resolution repudiating the disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the purported “anti-hate” organization that has become a vehicle for smearing conservatives and critics of radical leftism.

The resolution commits the RNC to officially “Refuting the legitimacy of the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify hate groups.”

The SPLC bills itself as an expert on “hate groups,” maintaining a “hate map” that tracks them around the country. However, the SPLC has repeatedly added mainstream conservative organizations to its list, smearing their reputation and allowing violent far-left criminals to locate and target them...."

The RNC has taken a very serious step. The SPLC has gone far afield from its beginning role of fighting the KKK and Neo-Nazis. They now attack regular conservative people like Maajid Nawaz (sued SPLC and won $3.3 Million Settlement) and organizations like the Family Research Council. The RNC is showing guts to stand up to SPLC.

I guess as the SPLC wrapped itself in the cloak of being the self appointed expert on hate groups, they unfortunately became a hate group.

Well said. These clowns are nothing more than a shakedown operation, putting the “Reverend” Jessie Jackson to shame. So tell me Jessie, when was the last sermon you gave, and in what church?

It’s about time the SPLC has been called out as a left wing, money grabbing outfit that is bogus on listing any moderate conservative group or business as right-wing nazis or anti-black. It was started by Morris Dees years back obsessively to provide legal assistance to persons of color who suffered from discrimination but mainly raised funds, most of which paid the top guys in the SPLC and still has millions in offshore accounts.

The RNC is obviously no longer influenced by the likes of the Paul Ryans of the political world.

Thank you, Lord.

The Intellectual Poverty Law Center is anti-science.

The ADL is just as bad as the SPLC. Are they going to be rebuked as well?

Who was it that said that any cause becomes a movement, transforms into a business, then devolves into a racket?

Whoever did would be spot on for the SPLC.

Jonathan Greenblatt is an Obama goon. He’s definitely turning it into an anti-conservative direction.
