Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec went after the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on Thursday, linking the organization to the pattern of targeting conservatives and their institutions, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Opening the segment, Posobiec framed his remarks in sweeping terms about wrongdoing and targeting, saying: “their fraud, their crimes, but also their behavior, the things that they have done, the targets that they have put on the backs of good people.” He then listed several organizations and individuals he said had been placed under scrutiny or attack, including “people like Ben Carson, people for the Alliance Defending Freedom, people like Moms4Liberty, PragerU, and yes, Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk.”
From there, Posobiec broke down the timeline of the SPLC and Charlie Kirk, pointing specifically to a designation made in 2025: “So go back to last year, let's go back to the tail of the tape, May of 2025, that's when they listed Charlie Kirk, that's when they listed him as an extremist, that's when they added him to their hate map, that's when they put him up and put a target on Charlie's back.”
He continued by linking that designation to Kirk’s killing, stating, “The SPLC put a target on Charlie Kirk's [back], and then this guy who said that he had to eradicate Charlie's hate, some hate can't be negotiated with, climbed up to the top of a building and shot and killed Charlie. After the SPLC did that, that was May of 2025 to September of 2025, Memorial Day to Labor Day, Memorial Day to Labor Day, that's how fast it took.”
He also referenced details about the alleged shooter, tying them to broader ideological claims. “And we look at this situation, we have to see it very clearly for what it is, and we have to remember that Tyler Robinson also had the Antifa national and international anthem, the Antifa anthem on his bullets, Bella Ciao.”
Posobiec went on to criticize the SPLC’s past statements about Antifa and law enforcement designations of the group. “And what did the SPLC say when they talked about Antifa? They said that President Trump listing Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization is dangerous. Dangerous?”
He questioned that position directly, adding, “We're going after extremists, isn't that what you're supposed to do, SPLC? Oh no, it's not. Oh, I see, the SPLC was actually funding extremists on the right, and perhaps, just perhaps, helping extremists on the left.”
Posobiec also described a range of tactics he attributed to the organization’s allies or operations: “Doxing, cancelling, debanking, censoring, that's what they were doing to conservatives.”
“And let's just see, and we're going to walk through, in today's episode, we are going to walk through, we're going to have Will Chamberlain and Julie Kelly on with us, we're going to walk through and see whether or not the SPLC and their operatives were involved in any other operations or events or incidents targeting conservatives. Coming after conservative events, Christian events, the same way, oh I don't know, oh that's right, the SPLC gave a list of churches to the FBI for surveillance purposes."
"They were hand in glove with Antifa, they were hand in glove with the Biden regime, and the SPLC put a target on Charlie Kirk's back. You might even say they put a target on his neck.”
