Today, the GOP House Committee on the Judiciary held another hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and revelations that the group used donations to fund and manufacture hate groups. The SPLC was indicted on 11 counts of various types of fraud for allegedly funneling millions of dollars to members of white supremacist and other hate groups while telling donors they were 'combatting hate.'

Instead, the SPLC used the donations to target Christians and conservatives.
The SPLC told donors their money would dismantle violent extremists.

The SPLC's 'hate map' drove at least one Leftist to target the Family Research Council. In 2013, Floyd Lee Corkins was sentenced to 25 years in prison for shooting a security guard at the Family Research Council offices in D.C. Corkins said he used the SPLC's map to target the organization.
Rep. Jamie Raskin took the opportunity to use the hearing to once again lie about the SPLC and Charlottesville, falsely claiming that President Trump praised 'very fine people on both sides.'
Jamie Raskin is either CLUELESS or LYING:

That's a lie. We all know it's a lie, including Raskin.
Keep throwing lawyers at these clowns until they learn.

And vote them out of office.
Oh, he knows. He’s betting on the few idiots left to still believe the hoax.

Many Democrats, and their allies in the media, have repeated and perpetuated this hoax.
Well, it is entirely possible that he is both clueless and lying.
