The SPLC secretly funneled over $3 million in donor money to KKK members and neo-Nazi groups while publicly claiming to fight white supremacy. A federal grand jury indicted the organization on 11 counts including wire fraud and money laundering. Deceiving donors to bankroll the very extremists the SPLC claimed to oppose is a betrayal that deserves full prosecution.
The SPLC indictment is a politically motivated attack on a civil rights organization for using paid informants — the same tactic the FBI routinely employs. Todd Blanche already moved to vacate convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy, making this prosecution look like pure retaliation against groups that opposed violent white nationalists.
