The FBI said Wednesday it had cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, a prominent Jewish group that tracks antisemitism, after Republicans criticized the group for including slain activist Charlie Kirk's organization in a glossary on extremism.
In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau "won't partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs."
The ADL did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was not immediately clear what sort of ties the FBI had with the ADL.
Patel's announcement followed criticism of the ADL by conservatives, including billionaire Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr., over its inclusion of Kirk's Turning Point USA in a "Glossary of Extremism and Hate" on its website. Kirk was assassinated on a college campus in September.
After that criticism, the ADL removed the entire glossary from its website. The glossary had said that Turning Point USA had a history of "bigoted statements," a charge the group rejects.
ADL’s entry on TPUSA, originally published in February 2019, said Kirk “promoted Christian nationalism,” adding that white nationalists and supremacists attended TPUSA events.
“However, it should be noted that Kirk himself publicly condemned such groups, insisting that they did not represent TPUSA and their beliefs,” the ADL wrote.
The ADL even noted that Kirk “supported the state of Israel and spoke out against its critics.”

Good!
What about the “Southern Poverty Law Center?” Anything but “poverty.” These guys are shysters nonpareil.
Every day winning. Anyone sick of it yet?
“Ah ain’t nowheres near tahrd…” …of winning!
The FBI never should have been tied to the ADL for any reason, but that’s been the problem with these alphabet agencies since their inception. They’ve had no oversight, and have been allowed to run rampant, commit fraud, and destroy lives. They all need a full and complete cleaning. Scum rises to the top.
The ADL, once a useful organization, is as taken over by leftwingers years ago. In modern times especially, a reformed new organization that actually helps victims of discrimination is sorely needed.
The current ADL is nothing but a mob of scumbags.
The ADL helped Dems back in 1964 labeling radio preachers and conservative commentators who bought radio time in those days as “extremists”.
This was in conjunction with the Dems ‘Fairness Doctrine’ campaign against radio stations carrying those preachers-commentators.
Those people needed to be shut down because they promoted Barry Goldwater and the GOP in the 64 elections.
“We need to totally reform the nonprofit corporation laws in the US. The ADL and many other organizations are not “charities”. They are political constructs that are in business to make their handlers money”.
I wrote the sentence above here on FR over a decade ago. At the time, the fellow running the ADL was being paid $400,000 plus.
Robert Conquest’s second law of politics:
“Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.”
Here’s a Jewish group I am happy to denounce!
Just a bunch of atheist leftists.
Shut ‘em down!
“jewish”
Scare quotes, lower case.
ADL = Commie agitators for the DNC
It looks like youve been here long enough to remember a few clowns around here that used to defend them and would call anyone questioning the ADL an antisemite.
They were always an arm of the left.
I did observe as far back as around 1980-ish that ADL would actually promise to help victims of discrimination and then their attorney did absolutely nothing, nada, zilch.
didn't even try to help by writing letters
the clients would get better help from last year's utiliity pole
Good for the FBI - it's more like an extreme left wing group that uses 'being Jewish' as a way to duck responsibility for their hatred of conservative Americans.
Maybe the FBI can redeem themselves. I hope.
This is good. Cutting ties with the "Southern" "Poverty" "Law" "Center" would be even better.
Oh the FBI must be anti-Semitic.
