From The Christian Post:
In the months leading up to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the far-left civil rights organization Southern Poverty Law Center sharply criticized the organization and Kirk as promoters of “hard right” ideologies, including white supremacy and Christian nationalism.
A CP review of the SPLC website found Kirk and/or TPUSA mentioned 38 times overall as part of the SPLC’s “Hatewatch” and other extremism categories. In May, Kirk called the inclusion of himself and TPUSA on the SPLC “hate group” report a “badge of honor.” “Their game plan? Scare financial institutions into debanking us, pressure schools to cancel us, and demonize us so some unhinged lunatic feels justified targeting us. … They’d love nothing more than to see TPUSA in the crosshairs,” Kirk wrote.
