FBI Director Kash Patel just announced that he’s cut all ties between the FBI and the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center.

The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine. Their so-called “hate map” has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence. That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.
In April, during our Anti-Christian Bias Panel, I made it clear that the FBI will never rely on politicized or agenda-driven intelligence from outside groups — and certainly not from the SPLC.
Under this FBI, all ties with the SPLC have officially been terminated.
