Calling the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) “one of the greatest political scams in American history,” President Donald Trump on Friday called for the 2020 election to be “permanently wiped from the books” if the purported anti-hate organization is convicted of fraud.
This week the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) charged the SPLC with making some $3 million in payments to white supremacist groups to gin up hate speech it could then claim to be fighting in order to raise money from donors.
The indictment alleges that one of the informants paid by the SPLC helped organize a highly-publicized white extremist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 that candidate Joe Biden exploited as political ammunition to defeat of Trump in the 2020 election.
“The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the greatest political scams in American History, has been charged with FRAUD,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
He continued, “This is another Democrat Hoax, along with ActBlue, and many others. If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect!”
