Now that theSouthern Poverty Law Center has been exposed for the fraud that it is,it’s important to look back at their past behavior and what their critics said about them.
The late Charlie Kirk had their number years ago.
Kirk Even called the SPLC a ‘hate group’ and who could blame him? They basically painted a target on his back just because he was a conservative.
‘Scam,’ ‘Largest Hate Group’: Charlie Kirk Said Southern Poverty Law Center Tried to Make Turning Point USA ‘Surrender’
The April 21 indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) comes after the late Charlie Kirk spent years saying the organization’s hate-group designations targeted conservatives, Christians, parental-rights activists, and Turning Point USA.
The Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that the SPLC has been charged in Alabama with 11 counts including wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. Prosecutors allege the organization used donor money to secretly fund figures connected to extremist groups while publicly denouncing them…
Kirk discussed the designation during a May 2025 interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham after the SPLC placed Turning Point USA on its “hate map.”
They’re literally putting High School chapters of ours on a hate group next to the KKK and next to neo Nazi groups. And, I mean, we can laugh this off. There’s an element to this. Remember that there was a shooter that went to the Family Research Council years ago, inspired by the SPLC list. This is them trying to make us basically surrender at Turning Point USA. We’re gonna do the opposite. And our students are only going to lean in even more but they can’t debate us on our ideas. They cannot have dialogue. They cannot actually go on to the merits of why they are right or why we might be wrong. Instead, they must smear us with the age old one liner that you are a racist or that you are a hater. And they’re finally realizing the power of Turning Point USA which is why they put us on this list.
Look at these 2023 tweets from Kirk.
