SPLC president struggles to answer why left-wing groups missing from hate map

Southern Poverty Law Center President Bryan Fair faced sharp questioning from House Republicans on Tuesday over why the organization’s widely cited hate map does not appear to include violent antifa-affiliated groups, the left-wing pro-abortion-rights Jane’s Revenge, or Islamic organizations that oppose LGBT individuals.

“Under your criteria, Turning Point USA, Family Research Council, and other conservative Christian groups are considered hate groups, but Antifa and Jane’s Revenge aren’t,” Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) told Fair during the hearing. “I frankly think it’s disgusting.”
