"The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine, Patel wrote on X about the civil rights watchdog group. Their so-called hate map' has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence. That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership. The connection between the group and the FBI is officially terminated, Patel made clear."
"Patel accusing the SPLC of having inspired violence came just a day after X owner and MAGA-friendly billionaire Elon Musk accused the group of inciting the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk after he was included in a hate watch newsletter. Patel announced earlier this week that the FBI had cut ties with the ADL which Musk is also highly critical of following the group receiving backlash over Kirk's Turning Point USA being included in a 2017 report"
The FBI cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center just days after ending connections with the Anti-Defamation League. The SPLC was accused of abandoning civil rights work, becoming a partisan smear machine, and maintaining a "hate map" that allegedly defames mainstream Americans and inspired violence. The relationship was terminated on the grounds that the group's record made it unfit for partnership. The move followed criticism from X owner Elon Musk after he accused the SPLC of inciting an assassination threat against conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The ADL split related to prior inclusion of Turning Point USA in a 2017 report.
