In the court of public opinion, the Southern Poverty Law Center just lost all of its credibility.
Without loud and visible racists, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) would cease to exist. Is that why it allegedly subsidized them so heavily for so long?
A federal case brought by the Justice Department against the SPLC accuses the group of paying millions of dollars to prominent racists. The indictment notes that the group paid the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America, the leader of the National Socialist Party of America, and the president of the American Front.
