Republicans probe whether White House collaborated with SPLC to target parents' groups -
Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, led the Wednesday letter to President Biden asking for information on a Jan. 6 meeting at the White House between Susan Corke, director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, and National Security Council counterterrorism director John Picarelli.
The lawmakers asked for details about the meeting between Ms. Corke and Mr. Picarelli, including whether the White House incentivized or pressured the SPLC to target parents’ rights groups. “It [the White House report] said it had ‘monitoring’ evidence that members of the LGBT groups face threats ‘increasingly tied to hate groups and domestic violent extremists.’ Just excellent timing?” asked Mr. Gonzalez in a Wednesday. “Anything is possible, but Congress ought to investigate if there indeed was a collaboration between the corrupt SPLC and the White House. Such coordination would not be new.
The SPLC’s designation prompted Moms for Liberty to pay for additional security at its second annual conference in Philadelphia, which runs from Thursday to Sunday.
