SPLC Labels TPUSA a “Hate Group”—Charlie Kirk Fires Back HARD!

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a discredited far-left organization notorious for smearing conservative groups, has sunk to new lows by labeling Turning Point USA (TPUSA)—the nation’s largest conservative youth movement—as a “hate group.” This absurd designation, which places TPUSA alongside the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi extremists, is nothing more than a desperate attempt by the liberal media’s attack dogs to silence a growing movement that threatens their woke agenda.

Charlie Kirk, TPUSA’s fearless founder, didn’t hold back in his response, calling out the SPLC’s decades-long grift: “A cheap smear from a washed-up org that’s been fleecing scared grandmas for decades.” Kirk’s fiery rebuttal on The Ingraham Angle exposed the SPLC’s dangerous game—a game that has already inspired violence. “Remember that there was a shooter that went to the Family Research Council years ago, inspired by the SPLC list,” Kirk warned. The left’s goal? To demonize conservatives, pressure institutions into blacklisting them, and incite hatred against anyone who dares to challenge their narrative.

The liberal media, of course, amplifies these smears without question. Outlets like CNN and MSNBC treat the SPLC’s “hate map” as gospel, ignoring its long history of defamation and financial exploitation. Meanwhile, they turn a blind eye to actual hate groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter extremists, who riot, burn cities, and attack law enforcement with impunity. The hypocrisy is staggering—but predictable.

Kirk’s defiance mirrors the unapologetic strength of President Donald Trump, who has spent years battling the same dishonest smear campaigns. The left’s playbook is tired: when they can’t debate ideas, they label opponents as “racist,” “extremist,” or “dangerous.” But Americans aren’t buying it anymore. The SPLC’s credibility is in ruins, its $100 million empire built on fearmongering and left-wing propaganda. As Kirk put it: “They’re not just irrelevant—they’re a cautionary tale of how to torch your own credibility.”

The SPLC has added Turning Point to their ridiculous “hate group” list, right next to the KKK and neo-Nazis, a cheap smear from a washed-up org that’s been fleecing scared grandmas for decades. They somehow still rake in over $100 million a year peddling their “hate map”…

President Trump, a constant target of the same smear tactics, has emboldened conservatives to fight back. Under his leadership, the right has stopped apologizing and started winning. The SPLC’s attack on TPUSA only proves how terrified the left is of a movement they can’t control—one that champions free speech, patriotism, and the values that made America great.
