Lie.  He supported Trump in 2016 and 2020, Jill Stein in 2024.

The Patel announcement in OP, at the 1:03 mark sounds to me like he says "Unite To Right" but I think that's a misstatement. Whoever heard of "Unite To Right?" The guys in Charlottesville were "Unite the Right" which has got to be what he meant to say. And if I'm right that he misspoke... well... there you go.

And it strikes you as plausible that the SPLC funded Charlottesville? Come on Voltaire you’re not a dumb guy. You really think this might have happened?

I didn't weigh in with an opinion one way or the other. He asked for a link and I knew where to find it since I'd just seen it an hour or two earlier.

Edit, they could be Jussie Smolletting.... or not... I don't know anything more than anyone else at this point, which is three minutes and seventeen seconds of Kash Patel. We're in a twenty-way tie around here.

It’s funny that we never found out who any of those guys with the tiki torches from Charlottesville were. You would think they would have gotten doxxed.

This is the president who signed a day-one executive order to STOP politically-motivated prosecutions.

He also said lower prices and no foreign wars, so at least he is consistent in doing the opposite of what he promises.

Maybe Patel took a couple of 8 year old misdemeanors and combined them into a novel felony charge.  I hear that's not political.  

[Hardcore troubadour]

Seriously, there were so many tiki torch/ khaki guys at Charlottesville. They just disappeared. Amazing.

It still amazes me that people don’t take the time to read their own links. The HTDS is so strong that they can’t take a minute or two to see if the story actually says what they think it does. HT reads em though.

Always hilarious when MAGAs think the KKK is a leftist group.

This is extreme far right.

Pure projection on MAGA's part.

Commies and socialists are on the far left.

Fascists, the KKK, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, skinheads and neo-Nazis - all far right.

It's like the MAGAs can't wrap their collective heads around the fact that there are bad facets of their paradigm.

The Democrats who started the KKK became Republicans because they didn't like this crazy thing called civil rights and treating black people like human beings.

The Trump DOJ busted an organization who was funding groups like the kkk, and the left is in here complaining saying that the investigation is politically motivated.

The SPL can’t exist without alleged hate groups.  Why is it so hard to believe they would be creating hate groups so as not to lose their grift?

Plenty of lefty geeks here citing “hate groups” based on SPLC recommendations over the years.  You know who you are.

From the far left Daily Kos, an opinion piece with another perspective:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/4/21/800024957/courts/now-a-famed-civil-rights-group-is-in-the-dojs-crosshairs/?utm_source=dkre&utm_medium=email

Now a famed civil rights group is in the DOJ’s crosshairs

The Southern Poverty Law Center is the latest agency to come under attack by President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. SPLC’s CEO Bryan Fair announced by video on Tuesday that they suspect the probe has to do with the organization previously using paid informants to target extremist groups. 

“Although we don’t know all the details, the focus appears to be on the SPLC’s prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups,” Fair said.

Historically, the nonprofit advocacy group has fought for racial justice in the South while investigating extremist groups and providing litigation and education to those impacted by civil rights violations. 

In the video, Fair said that the organization began using paid informants as a protective measure for its staff after their office was firebombed. 

“When we began working with informants, we were living in the shadow of the height of the Civil Rights Movement, which had seen bombings at churches, state-sponsored violence against demonstrators, and the murders of activists that went unanswered by the justice system,” he said. “Today, the federal government has been weaponized to dismantle the rights of our most vulnerable people and any organization like ours that tries to stand in the breach.”

Fair said that the SPLC is “unsurprised” that they are being targeted by the Trump administration’s  Justice Department, and he would be right. 

In October, FBI Director Kash Patel—who has his own drama to deal with as of late—had the FBI cut ties with the organization, claiming that the SPLC is partisan and discriminatory. 

“The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” Patel wrote via X at the time. “Their so-called ‘hate map’ has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence. That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.”

They’re not the first organization, or person, to be targeted, either. In April 2025, Trump ordered the DOJ to launch probes into former White House officials who rubbed him the wrong way.

You asked a question, and I answered it. Let me ask you a follow up question: can you offer an example of a group that in your opinion was falsely identified by the SPLC as a hate group? Let’s get to specifics if we are to dissect the claim that they are partisan and dishonest.
