FBI cuts ties with Anti-Defamation League, FBI director says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The FBI said on Wednesday it cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish group that tracks antisemitism, after conservatives criticized the group for including slain activist Charlie Kirk's organization in a glossary on extremism.

In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau "won't partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs."

Patel's announcement followed criticism of the ADL by right-wing voices, including billionaire Elon Musk, over its inclusion of Kirk's Turning Point USA in a "Glossary of Extremism and Hate." Kirk was assassinated in September.

After that criticism, the ADL removed the entire glossary from its website. The glossary had said Turning Point USA had a history of "bigoted statements," a charge the group rejects.


currently.att.yahoo.com - FBI cuts ties anti defamation

Trump is all in on backing Israel, because a lot of Christian fundy whacks want it, and some of his deep-pocketed supporters, like Sheldon and Miriam Adelson want it. But a non-trivial portion of his knuckle dragging, goober, base, are vicious anti-Semites. In his first term, several times, he had to call his base off of hating Jews. So, now he's in a pickle. He has to vilify anyone who denigrates Kirk, or Turning Point, but he also can't ignore anti-Semitic speech or actions.

Maybe the regime will cover this mess up, by burning down the Southern Poverty Law Center?
