SPLC Finally Faces A Reckoning For The Political Violence It Stoked
The Federalist ^ | April 30, 2026 | Curtis Hill

The alleged wannabe assassin at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was radicalized by rhetoric and believed that murdering members of the Trump administration was justified morally and spiritually. While no evidence thus far directly links him to the Southern Poverty Law Center, one must wonder how many acts of violence like this one could have been inspired by the SPLC’s misguided manifesto that the ends justify the means.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has long cloaked itself in the mantle of a noble crusader against hate and extremism. The 11-count federal indictment handed down by a grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama, rips that cloak away and exposes something far more sinister. Charged with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of false statements to a federally insured bank, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, the SPLC now stands accused of systematically defrauding its donors while actively sustaining the very hatred it claimed to dismantle.

These are not minor bookkeeping errors. Prosecutors allege that between 2014 and 2023 the organization “secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals” tied to violent extremist groups — factions of the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, the National Socialist Party of America, the National Alliance, and others. One informant allegedly received more than $1 million while embedded with a neo-Nazi organization. Another received more than $270,000 and, according to the indictment, actively helped plan and attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville — making racist postings and coordinating logistics while under the SPLC’s direction.

One does not have to be a career prosecutor to know the difference between legitimate law enforcement tools and outright corruption. Confidential informants can provide critical intelligence to investigators. A modest payment to gather advance warning of a cross burning or...

Why are the SPLC management not DOXXED so they can have the same fear of retribution?

Perhaps Turning Point USA or Prager U. should prepare hate maps. Banks, businesses, and the USG, could rely on those hate-maps to decline loans and business. The SPLC would be on the map.

I’d like to see how much guilt they bear for the murder of Charlie Kirk.

SPLC followed Rules for Radicals of Alinsky. Alinsky tells of how the members of a community organization were concerned about the impact of immorality on the youth, and especially the porn theater in the neighborhood.

So Alinsky put the owner of the Porn theater in charge of the Porn Police.

Repeatedly an Alinsky group would steer a slumlord into extreme slumlord behavior so the passive tenants and neighbors would get angry.

SPLC is all about strategy and tactics.

I hope Morris Dees and his fellow travelers at the SPLC spend the rest of their days in a maximum security facility.
