About this episode
The episode discusses a recent assassination attempt against President Trump and critiques the Southern Poverty Law Center's influence on public perception and political violence.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was cut short last Saturday by yet another assassination attempt against President Trump. A Caltech-educated game developer armed with two guns charged the Secret Service checkpoint, ending in a brief shootout that injured one Secret Service agent. This attack followed the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center over allegations of funding the very hate groups it fundraises against. A decade of radical rhetoric from celebrities, activists, and institutions like the SPLC has broken the brains of even relatively intelligent people. The same group that shaped FBI threat assessments, debanked homeschool moms, and labeled classical liberal thinkers as white supremacists was apparently running a grift the whole time. _____________________________________ Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/the-splcs-hate-hoax-playbook-turns?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true _____________________________________ Purchase a T-shirt, hoodie, and more over on our merch store: https://shop.dadsavesamerica.com/ Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zRtD98JPKlw…
