The SPLC Says (Focus on the Family are) ‘Haters.’ We Love Them Anyway. by Jim Daly

By Jim Daly, The Stream - The Southern Poverty Law Center recently updated its “Hate Map” to include Focus on the Family on its list of hundreds of “hate” organizations alongside racist and white supremacist groups...

In the first instance, public opinion came first. President Trump’s victory in 2016 was a popular referendum on Obama-era progressivism that promised hope and change but delivered government overreach and overregulation. That Trump won the Republican nomination in the first place was a repudiation of the party’s neoconservative leanings.
