Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker says the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is facing major backlash over allegations that it is funding extremist groups. Amid the donor fraud scandal, SPLC has pressed forward with reports warning of right-wing hate and extremism. “They were exposed as one of the principal funders of the same fringe racist groups, like the Ku Klux Klan, that they have been pretending to oppose for many years,” Mr Hinderaker told News24 host Rita Panahi. “It’s almost laughable to see them trying to carry on the same charade.”
