About this episode

Tyler O’Neil discusses the DOJ's charges against the SPLC for fraud related to hate group funding.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice has charged the Southern Poverty Law Center, the SPLC, with wire fraud and bank fraud. According to the DOJ, the SPLC paid millions of dollars to individuals associated with groups like the KKK, only to raise money off of supposedly pervasive hate in America. Daily Signal Senior Editor Tyler O'Neil, author of a book on the SPLC titled "Making Hate Pay," joined the Signal Sitdown this week to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices.
