The Republican National Committee (RNC) put forth a resolution refuting the legitimacy of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), calling the nonprofit legal advocacy group “a far-left organization with an obvious bias.”

“The SPLC is a radical organization,” the resolution states, challenging the legitimacy of the organization to identify hate groups. “The federal government should not view this organization as a legitimate foundation equipped to provide actionable information to DHS or any other government agency.”
