With Kash Patel Closing in on the SPLC, Judiciary Dems Want Him to Take This Problematic Drinker Test

Earlier this week after the Department of Justice announced an 11-count indictment of The Southern Poverty Law Center, the timing of the "bombshell" report about Kash Patel from The Atlantic made even more sense.

"The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public. They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups - even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes."

Oh sure! The timing of the release of The Atlantic's hit piece had NOTHING to do with the SPLC investigation (cue massive eye roll).
