    ā€œThe SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine,ā€ @Kash_Patel told me. ā€œTheir so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans & even inspired violence.ā€ ā€œThat disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.ā€ šŸ§µ2/5

    This comes after I and a chorus of conservative voices, including @elonmusk, @Cernovich, @JackPosobiec, and so many others rightly called on the FBI to officially cut ties. šŸ§µ3/5

    šŸšØTIME TO CUT ALL TIES Kash Patel's FBI rightly cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, which tried to weaponize law enforcement against critics of transgender ideology. Now, it needs to officially declare its separation from the Southern Poverty Law Center. šŸ§µ1/10

    Earlier this year, I broke the news that the SPLC added Turning Point USA to the "hate map" with Klan chapters. After Charlie Kirk's death and Trump rightly designating Antifa a domestic terrorist group, it is high time the FBI official formalize this stance. šŸ§µ4/5

    THANK YOU, @Kash_Patel! Now, it's time for the government to take a hard look at SPLC and consider investigating if it's supporting violence or abusing the law. šŸ§µ5/5 dailysignal.com/2025/10/03/breā€¦

    šŸšØ'CORRUPT DEFAMATION FACTORY' Republicans celebrate @FBIDirectorKash's decision to cut all FBI ties to the SPLC, and some say the Trump administration should go further. One conservative told me this should be "a beginning, not an end." šŸ§µ1/12
