The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted. Federal prosecutors charged the SPLC with 11 counts (wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering) after discovering more than $3 million was funneled to people embedded with Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groups. The same organization that spent decades smearing Tea Party Patriots Action and other conservative groups was funding the very hate they claimed to fight. On this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, host Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party movement and Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action, breaks the story wide open. She is joined by South Dakota State Senator Greg Blanc, an ordained pastor and police chaplain who passed SB 175 to secure South Dakota elections with proof-of-citizenship voter registration. Senator Blanc walks through what his state did when Washington refused to act and sends a clear message to Senate Majority Leader John Thune about the SAVE America Act. Then Washington Examiner Commentary Editor Conn Carroll joins Jenny Beth to unpack the SPLC "hate fraud factory," the Virginia redistricting power grab that turned a fair 6-5 map into a 10-1 Democrat gerrymander, the hidden China strategy behind the Iran action, and why FDR himself opposed public sector unions. Learn how to fight back against the so-called Dignity Act and push the SAVE America Act across the finish line. Learn more at jennybethshow.com and teapartypatriots.org.
