TWEET: FRC‏ @FRCdc: "5 yrs ago, Americans saw how dangerous @splcenter's hate map is when a domestic terrorist attacked our HQ. Why is @CNN ignoring this?" 7:45 AM - 17 Aug 2017 https://twitter.com/frcdc/status/898194042462375940

On the SPLC’s website, you can still find conservative organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), American Family Association (AFA), ACT for America, and the Family Research Council (FRC) featured on their infamous “Hate Map.”

The same “Hate Map,” recently republished by CNN, was cited as the inspiration for the 2012 shooting at the FRC. The shooter, whose goal was to “kill as many people as possible,” told investigators that he targeted the Family Research Council after finding it on the SPLC’s Hate Map. In 2017, FRC is still listed as a “hate group” on SPLC’s website.
