TPUSA's Andrew Kolvet appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime" to discuss the DOJ indicting the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that claims it tracks hate and extremist activity in the nation. Kolvet told FOX News host Jesse Watters that the group put Turning Point USA on their "hate map" and less than 4 months later, Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: This was all a fundraising scam to smear Trump and make white supremacy seem like the biggest threat. The stuff SPLC was paying informants to do, commit crimes, raise money, organize hate rallies, is stuff an FBI informant would never be allowed to do because it's illegal and would jeopardize the case. If this is all true, the SPLC isn't just guilty of hypocrisy, they're responsible for years of damage to the social fabric of this country and someone should be held accountable.

Andrew Kolvet, a TPUSA spokesperson and executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show. It's very funny that the Biden team hooked up with this group, ran on Charlottesville, and then de-platformed everybody on their list. That's something that needs to be investigated.

ANDREW KOLVET, TURNING POINT USA: Yeah, and thanks for having me, Jesse. You know, this is something that's deeply personal to me, and it's by the way, it's deeply personal to pro-life groups as well, that the Biden DOJ was working with pro-abortion groups to weaponize the FACE Act. It's the same playbook all over again, but with the SPLC in this instance, and you know, they cornered the market on monetizing hate, but guess what?

There is a supply and demand issue when it comes to hate. So they had to gin up more, they had to manufacture more hate, and when they run out of actual racist and KKK and

SPLC seemed to be able to manipulate many unstable and violent people.

[Tell It Right]

And don’t forget the social media orgs (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, TikTok) letting the SPLC be the gatekeeper of what constituted “hate speech” and should be blocked. Tons of Christians, conservatives, anti-clot shot, and anti kids being taught trans in schools, were blocked and detoxed because Twitter and Facebook let SPLC decide who could post and who couldn’t.

The SPLC is guilty of the murder of an American. They all need to be convicted and thrown in prison.

SPLC seemed to be able to manipulate many unstable and violent people.

As does the corrupt fake news media.

I met Dees’ ex wife. She said he is truly racist, and is only doing this for the money.

“At a time when it’s often difficult to find points of agreement, surely we can all agree that it’s time to cut ties with the SPLC, its entanglement with racism and sexual harassment, and its campaign of hate and domestic terrorism.”

Only arrests matter.

[Jane Long]

Agree.

Enough of the wrist slaps.

[Alas Babylon!]

Erika should sue them.

Since the SPLC is in Montgomery, Alabama, an Alabama jury might look favorably on her suit. The SPLC is not popular down here amongst most folks.

[chuckee]

I don’t understand why a nazi would need SPLC money. Was there a tattoo famine in the Nazi party and SPLC was getting them through a rough ink supply patch?

[combat_boots]

And as the SLPC comes under scrutiny for their involvement in Charlottesville and the "Fine People Hoax," let's wind the clock back.

This is what Scott Adams said when the SPLC labeled TPUSA as "a hate group."

As intended.

Dees was Jimmy Carter’s national finance chairthing in 1976 which tells me more than I wanted to know. Dees in 1980 was Finance Chair for none other than Sen. Ted Kennedy of Martha’s Vineyard.
