'Manufacturing racism by funding far-right & far-left…': Dr King EXPOSES SPLC in House hearing

At a fiery House hearing, civil rights activist Dr. Alveda King blasted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), urging Americans to investigate how the organization uses donations and influence in the name of LGBTQ advocacy and anti-hate campaigns. King accused the SPLC of fueling division and "manufacturing racism" by targeting ideological opponents across the political spectrum. The heated exchange sparked a broader debate over free speech, political labeling, extremism, and the role of watchdog groups in American politics. Lawmakers and witnesses clashed over whether the SPLC’s controversial “hate map” unfairly stigmatizes conservative and religious organizations.
