In a piece published last year, Huang claimed that “hard-right extremist groups” have steadily penetrated American life, politics, and government since President Trump’s 2016 election – arguing his second White House run gave them “an ally in the highest office in the nation.”
“What was once considered a fringe agenda in the modern era is the blueprint from which the country’s president–and the MAGA movement– is operating,” she blasted in an article for Daily Kos, warning that the “hard right” is muscling its way into schools and libraries.
The SPLC targeted the conservative group known as Turning Point USA in 2025 by putting it on a “hate map” with KKK chapters, Breitbart Newsreportedat the time.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was brutally assassinated during a Utah speaking engagement in September of the same year, reacted to the move in a social media post, calling it “a cheap smear from a washed-up org that’s been fleecing scared grandmas for decades.”
