Southern Poverty Law Center Attacked Us…Now They’re Indicted!

Sun, Apr 26, 2026

For decades the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was a terror to weak-kneed politicians, churches, and political organizations alike — all of them feared being labeled ‘racist’ by SPLC.

Since 1971, SPLC manufactured and weaponized fake hate.

Since at least the early 1990s, SPLC became a tool of the Democrat Party, demonizing all political opponents as hateful.

But when Donald Trump won the election in 2016, SPLC became truly feral. Their Hatewatch list became a fixture in Leftist circles in DC and in the media.

When Trump spoke the truth about violent foreigners in our country, SPLC put him on the Hatewatch list.

When Moms for Liberty protested perversion in schools, SPLC put them on their Hatewatch list.

When members of Congress refused to all-but apologize for their race by signing a resolution denouncing ‘white supremacy,’ you guessed it, they were all added to the SPLC’s Hatewatch list.

And in 2020, for all the work that we’ve done to fight for the Second Amendment at the state level and to oppose the vicious Covid lockdowns of 2020 — the SPLC attacked me and my brothers in their Hatewatch report!

Honestly, it was fantastic knowing that we had become such a threat to the Democratic Machine that wants to disarm America.

Speaking about who was (and was not) organizing the rallies against the Covid lockdown, SPLC said:

They are also not the main organizers behind the early demonstrations — that designation belongs primarily to wealthy right-wing activists. Those include the Dorr family, which draws in hundreds of thousands of dollars each year operating a number of pro-gun and anti-abortion groups.

I remember the flood of smug reporters who called the office that day, assuming they had the NYS Firearms Association over a barrel.

They expected me to be afraid, apologetic, and defensive.

My comment was simple: If the race-baiting pieces of filth at SPLC are attacking me for leading the charge for gun rights and the unborn, then I know we’re over the right target. 

Like many of you, I always knew that the Southern Poverty Law Center was a grift and a fraud. They created fake hate, to give themselves a platform to fundraise off. 

But it was only when the United States Department of Justice unveiled an 11-count indictment a few days ago, that we all learned just how evil the SPLC is.

You see, not only was the SPLC manufacturing hate — they appear to have been paying for it.

The DOJ’s indictment alleges that for at least the last decade, the SPLC funneled millions of dollars to individuals who were running the very groups SPLC claimed to oppose!

Who was the SPLC giving money to? According to the DOJ:

The Ku Klux Klan
The United Klans of America
Unite the Right
The National Socialist Movement
Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club

So while the SPLC’s donors were giving money to supposedly combat racism and hate — the SPLC was giving that money to the very organizations they claimed to oppose!

Why did they do that? To have an inside guy feed them bogus information on these groups that the SPLC would then present as evidence of more ‘hate.’

It was all a fraud.

And now they are facing 11 counts of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

And these are the same arrogant bastards who attacked me and my brothers for fighting to defend our Second Amendment from the Democrats who want to disarm and enslave all of us. They falsely accused us of being frauds — when they were frauds all along!

(An image that the SPLC linked to in their attack on my brothers and me. We were proud as hell of being attacked by an organization run by a bunch of sickos who want to disarm us.)

I wanted you to hear about this — the indictments, the corruption, and the SPLC’s attack on NYSFA — because you support NYSFA. And that means the SPLC didn’t just come after me, they came after all of us.

But we don’t back down.

Not from the media. Not from the politicians. And sure as hell not from the smear merchants at SPLC.

They tried to intimidate us and to silence us. But we’re still here — stronger than ever.

But make no mistake: the attacks aren’t over.

If anything, they’re going to escalate as we keep fighting to defend our Second Amendment rights and take the fight directly to the politicians who want to disarm us.

That’s why I’m asking you to stand with us right now.

If you are not a current member of the NYS Firearms Association, I hope you’ll take a moment to become one right now.

JOIN THE NYS FIREARMS ASSOCIATION TODAY!

If you are a member for 2026, chip in $10, $25, $50, or even $100 right now to help us fight back — harder than ever — against the enemies of our freedom.

We are not going to be intimidated.
We are not going to be silenced.
And we’re not going to let the Left disarm us!

For New York State,

Aaron Dorr
