PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “Six years ago, neo-Nazis marched out of a field in Charlottesville, Virginia, literally carrying torches and neo-Nazi flags. What did you hear?”
“Donald Trump said, and I quote, there are very fine people on both sides—my God. That’s what he said!”
GREG GUTFELD: The “very fine people” hoax. It’s what that feeble old fart ran on. Now it turns out that hoax was based on an even bigger hoax.
Enter the Southern Poverty Law Center—the self-appointed hall monitor of hate. The group that’s made bank pushing the myth that the Klan is hiding behind every Cracker Barrel, when the real racists-in-hiding were them.
The DOJ revealed that the SPLC has been indicted by a grand jury for using millions in donor funds that went to hate groups like the KKK and neo-Nazis.
ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL TODD BLANCHE: “As the indictment lays out, after SPLC paid members of these extremist groups, it created work product that reported on these activities that the members participated in or contributed to. And to that end, it was doing the exact opposite of what it told its donors it was doing—not dismantling extremism, but funding it.”
GREG GUTFELD: I would say you can’t make this stuff up, but that’s exactly what these hate mongers were doing—funding the very extremist groups they claimed to fight. That’s right—the arsonist may have been running the fire department.
See, the SPLC had a problem. People just weren’t being racist enough to keep them in business—no matter how many times Jesse calls Charles Payne “Al Roker.”
After all, your fundraising, your relevance, and your media hits depend on the existence of widespread hate. But what happens when there isn’t any?
Time to hire an intern who knows how to tie a noose.
You add Turning Point USA to your hate map, or the Family Research Council, or a group that opposes illegal immigration. Hate morphs into ideas that liberals hate—especially since it’s the only tool they have to ruin people by calling them bigots.
And the media ate it up for years. Every hate map was treated like gospel. If they said your neighbor’s bowling league was a hate group—boom, front page, no questions asked.
Meanwhile, the actual number of active hate groups in America has been about as robust as Blockbuster Video.
But that didn’t stop the fear machine—because fear keeps the lights on, fear keeps us divided, and fear gets people elected. And that’s how you get this:
PRESIDENT BIDEN: “White supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS, not al Qaeda—white supremacists.”
GREG GUTFELD: So we knew this was hate-filled. And now we know the SPLC helped fund it—with the Unite the Right rally, which gave us the “fine people” hoax, where Trump was accused of equating Nazis with peaceful protesters.
So to repeat: the entire narrative of Biden’s candidacy was based on a hoax created by a left-wing group, then protected by the media, who did no investigation into who these people were.
The media is oddly incurious—in addition to corrupt and stupid.
We never found out who those people with the torches were, did we? Yet the same mob was able to track down January 6th grannies.
Which is why it’s not just about the SPLC. It’s about the politicians who embraced them, the corporations that donated to them.
Hell, Apple gave them a million bucks. So did George Clooney.
And then there’s the media outlets who needed to make the lies true—so they can say it’s racist to deport people in the country illegally, so that everyone in the next Star Trek is trans, and that hiring based on merit is as out of date as the canned beans I donate to food drives.
Of course, these allegations will have to be proven in court—but the plot is exposed.
Fact is, America is one of the least racist societies in human history. And that’s bad for business if your business is racism.
