ADL Pulls Extremism Database After Kirk Group Row
Newsmax ^ | October 1, 2025 | Mark Swanson

The Anti-Defamation League pulled its Glossary of Extremism and Hate days after conservatives assailed the antisemitism watchdog for including the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA in the index.

Without directly addressing criticism from Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and others, the ADL on Tuesday said its database had become "outdated."

"[A]n increasing number of entries in the Glossary were outdated. We also saw a number of entries intentionally misrepresented and misused," ADL said in a post to X. "Moreover, our experts have continued to develop more comprehensive resources and innovative ways to provide information about antisemitism, extremism and hate. At ADL, we always are looking for how we can and should do things better. That's why we are moving to retire the Glossary effectively [sic] immediately."

The "backgrounder" on TPUSA, however, remains on the ADL website.

Musk on Sunday kickstarted the issue in a reply to a post on X that said "The ADL considers Christianity a hateful terrorist extremist belief."

Musk posted: "The ADL hates Christians, therefore it is [sic] a hate group." He later added, "The @ADL has become a far left hate propaganda machine" in response to a post that said the ADL "hates Christians and Jews alike."

Trump Jr. called the TPUSA entry "disgraceful."

Michael Savage years ago told the story about how he went to the ADL for legal help/advice when he was banned from Britain, and he said they told him to either cough up a lot of money or take a hike.

...they told him to either cough up a lot of money or take a hike.

I occasionally ask myself: "What has the ADL done for me lately?"

I always get the same answer:

They Send me Solicitations for Donations, and they get them for me Wholesale!
