The Southern Poverty Law Center is a sick joke.

It was a long time coming.

Wow

Still does not absolve them or lend credibility to their organization, they've known this for years.

The southern poverty law center cannot be trusted in my opinion

Of course, far left Southern Poverty Law Center will detest white race and no other. SPLC as receiver of charity on Amazon Smile removes competing church charity on Amazon. SPLC cause of divide and the enemy of America.

If he had anything to do with the ignorant slander against MaajidNawaz then this is a very good thing 🥳

I thought he retired...

One last honest person

Sounds like they hate him .
