Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) head Bryan Fair reiterated on Tuesday that his organization believes the late Charlie Kirk founded a “hate” group.
Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas asked Fair, the SPLC’s interim president and CEO, if the SPLC regrets putting Kirk’s Turning Point USA (TPUSA) on its “Hate Map” alongside white nationalists during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. The hearing largely explored the Department of Justice’s pending indictment accusing the SPLC of defrauding donors by funding white supremacist activism.
Conservatives have long criticized the leftist watchdog group for labeling mainstream conservative organizations such as TPUSA as hateful before Kirk was murdered in Utah in September.

“With respect to Charlie Kirk, have y’all taken any position since Charlie Kirk—” Roy said before Fair interjected.
“We unequivocally condemned the murder of Charlie Kirk,” Fair said.
“What about the listing of Charlie Kirk?” Roy said, referring to the SPLC’s “hate” categorizations.
