The report discussed the ideology, history, and activities of the Proud Boys and said the SPLC \u201cstrongly supports the essential work\u201d of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Liz Cheney\u2019s partisan Jan. 6 committee.<\/p>\n<p>The SPLC-identified \u201chate groups\u201d and \u201cdomestic extremists\u201d aren\u2019t just offenders such as the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis. The organization also lumps in organizations it deems anti-immigrant or anti-LGBT, leading the SPLC to lie about and foment violence against Christian groups for years.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, a man used the SPLC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/hate-map\">hate map<\/a> to target the Family Research Council, a Christian, pro-family research and educational nonprofit, in an attempted mass shooting that wounded a security guard. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/southern-poverty-law-center-website-triggered-frc-shooting\">According to the Washington Examiner<\/a>, the man said he looked on SPLC\u2019s website for anti-gay targets and wanted \u201cto kill as many as possible.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Despite the violence, the Family Research Council is still on the SPLC\u2019s hate map, along with Alliance Defending Freedom and about 20 churches. The SPLC\u2019s map leaves off groups such as Black Live Matter and Antifa, which have engaged in actual domestic extremism in the form of riots and violence against civilians, small businesses, and police officers. The SPLC also partners with the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/11\/12\/anti-hate-southern-poverty-law-center-partner-funds-violent-canadian-antifa\/\">expressed support<\/a> for Antifa\u2019s Canadian counterpart. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Olivia Hajicek is an intern at The Federalist and a junior at Hillsdale College studying history and journalism.
