NEW YORK – The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has added Turning Point USA (TPUSA) to its “extremism and hate glossary,” citing the right-wing student group’s alleged promotion of conspiracy theories, support for Christian nationalism, and attraction of racist elements.

Founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, TPUSA operates programs like a “Professor Watchlist” and a “School Board Watchlist,” targeting what it calls anti-American teachings, including Critical Race Theory and gender ideology. The ADL also highlighted Kirk’s opposition to COVID-19 vaccines and skepticism of the 2020 presidential election.
The ADL considers Christianity a hateful terrorist extremist belief.

The listing drew swift criticism online. Elon Musk called the ADL a “hate group” on X, while Donald Trump Jr. described the move as “disgraceful.” Critics argued the ADL misrepresented Christianity by linking it to the fringe “Christian Identity” ideology.
Kirk, assassinated earlier this month, was a vocal supporter of Israel and the Jewish community.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt defended the listing, emphasizing, “The idea that ADL is anti-Christian is offensive and wrong… the Christian Identity movement is antisemitic, racist, and unambiguously poisonous. Its values bear no resemblance to those of any mainstream Christian denomination.”

As usual, liberal Jews needlessly incite the hatred of otherwise friendly or apathetic non-Jews.
When they can’t tell apart friends from enemies, it’s evident they’ve lost their min
We need to show we’re not with ADL. Misgarim beumos big time
they also labeled religous Christians a hate group but not religous Muslims
So do we label your organization a socialist anti Jewish group
The ADL, like the SPLC, is a hate group itself. And they are determined to enrage regular Americans.
The timing is really sickening and pathetic.
The ADL is a leftwing shill for the Democratic party.
The ADL is run by an Obamabot leftist who has spent his entire tenure covering for Democratic Party Jew hatred and attacking Republicans.
Th ADL ceased to be relevant a long time ago, It is now the Pro-Woke Leftist League.
When is ADL going to throw ObamaGreenblat into the trash?
