Not for nothing.... But..... the MOAM is sitting here with my special coffee, scratching my head at this latest headline making the rounds. Peeps are talking about "Dems funding the KKK" because of the big federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) that just dropped a week or so ago. The DOJ and FBI say this big-name civil rights outfit — the one that tracks hate groups and sues Klansmen — secretly funneled more than $3 million of donor money to actual members and leaders tied to the KKK, neo-Nazis, Aryan Nations, and other extremist crews between 2014 and 2023.
They allegedly used shell accounts, fake business names like “Fox Photography,” prepaid cards, and all kinds of tricks to hide the payments. The claim is they were paying these guys as “informants” to get inside info on the hate groups... but critics (and now the feds) say it ended up just funding the very monsters they were supposed to be fighting. Acting AG Todd Blanche called it straight-up fraud — taking good people’s donations and using it to prop up extremism instead of stopping it.
Now, the SPLC is fighting back hard, saying it was a legitimate (but discontinued) informant program that helped take down real threats and saved lives. They’re calling the charges politically motivated.
Seems like the Dems are going back to their roots. This isn’t the old Democratic Party directly writing checks to the Klan like back in Reconstruction days (when the KKK was born in the South as a terrorist arm against Republicans and freed Blacks). That history is real and ugly — no denying it. But today it’s more about this left-leaning nonprofit that lots of big Dem donors and Hollywood types have supported over the years. So the viral spin is “Dems funding the KKK again” through their favorite organizations.
Whether it’s old-school night riders or modern grift dressed up as “fighting hate,” real Americans — the everyday Peeps, teachers, vets, working moms and dads — are sick of division being manufactured and money flowing to keep the fires burning. Dems are investing in keeping racism alive.... that's clear as day.
Racism is bad enough without a concerted effort to keep it alive.
