SPLC Exposed: Donor Fraud, Secret Affairs, and Zero Accountability | 06-20-26
Sam Bushman and James Edwards break down the explosive DOJ indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging that a top official funneled $1.2 million in donor money to a white supremacist informant she was allegedly sleeping with. They trace the SPLC's history from its 1971 founding by Morris Dees to its nearly $1 billion in assets built on fear-based fundraising, discuss the lack of accountability across multiple scandals, and tie it to a broader pattern of unchecked institutional corruption, including the Carter Page ruling and government waste. Plus, a debate on whether Trump's White House fight night sends the wrong signal for America's 250th anniversary.
