Republicans Accuse SPLC of 'Manufacturing Hate' in Heated Hearing
Republicans say the nonprofit used more than $4 million in donor funds to pay informants inside extremist groups, while Democrats defended the practice.
- On Tuesday, Southern Poverty Law Center interim CEO and President Bryan Fair testified before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the organization's informant practices and alleged financial misconduct involving extremist groups.
- Federal prosecutors allege the SPLC covertly transferred more than $4 million in donor funds between 2010 and 2023, while Republicans criticized the nonprofit's "HATE MAP" for targeting conservative groups including Turning Point USA.
- The indictment alleges an employee paid two Klan members $1,200 monthly to remain in the hate group, while prosecutors claim an informant paid more than $270,000 helped plan the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville.
- Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, questioned the group's donor-fund usage on Monday, while Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., defended the nonprofit, calling the investigation "misplaced and misguided."
- The SPLC maintains its informant program "prevented violence and saved lives," denying it misled donors, as Chairman Jim Jordan continues pursuing documents on the nonprofit's alleged coordination with the Biden Justice Department.
