US EditionSouthern Poverty Law Center Labels Turning Point USA a Hate Group
- In 2024, the Southern Poverty Law Center , a left-wing advocacy group, listed Turning Point USA on its hate and extremism report containing groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
- The listing was based on the Southern Poverty Law Center's report, which characterized Turning Point USA—a conservative Republican group established by Charlie Kirk—as a financially supported far-right entity connected to extremist individuals and wielding considerable influence in conservative political circles.
- SPLC accused TPUSA of promoting Christian nationalism, a theocratic belief that the U.S. Should reflect Christian values, and cited TPUSA's role in sowing fear about threats to white Christian supremacy.
- Charlie Kirk condemned the SPLC's designation as a "cheap smear from a washed-up org," while Elon Musk called the SPLC a "scam organization" in public statements.
- The SPLC's inclusion of TPUSA led to strong denials from Kirk and supporters, who viewed the listing as a politically motivated attack, reflecting continued polarization around such classifications in U.S. Politics.
