SPLC Hasn’t Removed False Tweet About Jussie Smollett Hate Hoax
The SPLC irresponsibly mislead the public, and now refuses to correct its error.
The dastardly Southern Poverty Law Center has allowed a Tweet about the Jussie Smollett hate hoax to remain live, despite the fact that the Tweet’s content has now been debunked.
“Hate crimes — especially against LGBTQ+ and black people — are increasing. Actor Jussie Smollett, who is both black and gay, was attacked by two men who allegedly shouted, ‘This is MAGA country!’ after they beat him and put a rope around his neck,” the Tweet said, linking to a GQ article.
We now know, after a tremendous amount of pubic resources were wasted investigating the hoax, that the Smollett incident was not a hate crime against an LGBT or black person, but rather a con perpetrated by Smollett himself, according to prosecutors.
He was charged with 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct after his two “attackers,” Nigerian brothers and fellow “Empire” cast members, admitted that they were paid by Smollett to perpetrate the “attack.”
A responsible organization would remove such misinformation, and apologize for misleading the public. But the Southern Poverty Law Center, which both profits from and traffics in hate, is not a responsible organization.
Their unstated mission is to work with the mainstream press and Silicon Valley tech companies to label mainstream conservatism as “hateful,” and de-platform the alleged “haters.”
To that end, the Smollett lie remains.

The special election for Texas’ Senate District 30 is on pace to be one of the most heated races in the Lone Star State.
At a candidate forum on September 18, 2020, Shelley Luther, the Dallas salon owner who was jailed for opening her business in defiance of Governor Greg Abbott’s shutdown order, confronted outgoing State Senator Pat Fallon.
Fallon vacated his seat and is now backing a successor in State Representative Drew Springer.
“We don’t want somebody who’s going to be at odds with our Republican governor,” Fallon said September 18 at the Grayson County Republican Women’s Club.
Fallon added:
I didn’t support some of the things that he has done about opening up. … So, he’s made some mistakes. He’s our Republican governor, the 80/20 rule … because you’re not going to get any bills passed unless the governor signs them.
“Let me make something clear. I am accountable to my fellow citizens in Senate District 30. Not our Governor,” Luther responded on September 19 on Facebook:
This is exactly what is wrong with Austin. Our politicians are more loyal to Abbott than us, even when they disagree with him.
I will work with Governor Abbott when he is fighting to protect the liberty of Texans, and I will oppose him when he pushes unilateral dictates that shut down our local businesses.
Fallon and Luther had a tense exchange, which was caught on video.
“You want me to go all in on this race?” Fallon questioned Luther. “I have been 5 percent in on this race. You want me to go all in on it, I’m welcome to.”
“This has become a straight-up fight between Abbott and the ‘Kumbaya’ Professional Political Class vs. the grassroots and people who remember what limited government and principles should look like,” opined conservative activist Mike Openshaw.
“Respectfully, being willing to be jailed for fighting over-reaching government shows principle; that counts for something, Patrick,” Openshaw continued.
Luther has recently received endorsements from conservative Collin County Judge Chris Hill and Young Conservatives of Texas. Springer, on the other hand, received an endorsement from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, which asserted that Luther was going down a “far right” path.
A Republican is expected to carry the senate district, which may still require a runoff if the leading candidate does not get enough votes during the first round of the special election.
Election Day will be on September 29.
Luther is viewed as the truly conservative option and many believe she could help break the political status quo in Austin that has kept conservative legislation from ever being passed.
