Two time failed Georgia Democrat governor candidate Stacey Abrams recently dropped a video defending the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has now been exposed for paying to manufacture racism that they could fundraise on.
You can’t really blame Abrams for doing this, after all, grift recognizes grift.
In a way, she is the perfect person to try to defend this.
Breitbart News reports:
Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and Democrat superstar Stacey Abrams defended the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) after the Department of Justice (DOJ) charged the organization with fraud.
Last week, a federal grand jury in Alabama charged the SPLC with several counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering, per Breitbart News.
Speaking with Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt, Abrams defended the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “legal organ that was founded in the south” to combat authoritarian rule.
“Often what you see on the national stage got incubated in the south, and so we know, in the south, we’ve always needed, for example, litigation as one of the tools to fight back against authoritarianism,” she said. “Whether that was Jim Crow, the KKK, the antisemitic behaviors that were manifest in the deep south.”
“The anti-Asian, anti-Latino. If there’s anti-community, it probably had some genesis in the South. And the SLC has spent its decades fighting back,” she continued. “It recognizes what hate groups are and says we’re not going to let you get away with it, we’re gonna tell people about you. It invests in communities and says we’re not just going to say this is wrong, we’re going to help invest in what makes it right.”

We have a fraud problem in America. The SPLC is a major part of that.
