It notes that Biden frames a 2017 Virginia rally as a moral turning point that spurred his 2020 presidential run, presenting the story as emotionally powerful even if hard to believe. The piece then cites DOJ claims that the SPLC funneled donor money to extremist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan nation, and that the SPLC helped fund and organize aspects of the Charlottesville event. It includes references to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media posts<\/a> that echo the indictment\u2019s implications and discusses Biden\u2019s use of the Charlottesville episode to shape his political image, including the controversial \u201cvery fine people\u201d narrative. The article suggests that, if the DOJ\u2019s informants\u2019 statements are correct, the SPLC\u2019s actions would call into question the authenticity of Biden\u2019s origin story and his broader portrayal of the political moment. Throughout, the piece weaves in embedded media, tweets, and promotional inserts typical of The Western Journal\u2019s presentation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden has told his absurd Charlottesville story so many times that it has become folklore.<\/p>\n<p>He has framed a 2017 rally in Virginia as a moral turning point and the moment that supposedly compelled him to step in and &ldquo;save&rdquo;

He presents the 2017 Virginia rally as a moral turning point that compelled him to step in and \u201csave\u201d the country, which led to his 2020 presidential bid. The story is emotionally persuasive, which helps explain why it has been told so often. But this narrative clashes with new DOJ allegations. The indictment accuses the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) of funneling millions of donor dollars to extremist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Nation, and of paying individuals who helped organize Charlottesville. The piece contrasts SPLC\u2019s public role as a watchdog against hate with the DOJ\u2019s claim that the group used donations to support hate and activities tied to the Charlottesville incident. It also notes Biden\u2019s use of Charlottesville to argue that the country was in moral decline and needed his leadership, a narrative critics say he has exploited for political gain. If the DOJ\u2019s account is accurate, the SPLC would have helped shape Biden\u2019s long-running origin story for his 2020 campaign.
