Summary
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (FRC), recounts the 2012 shooting at their Washington, D.C. office by Floyd Lee Corkins II, who was motivated by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) labeling of FRC as a “hate group.” Corkins is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence. The SPLC has recently come under scrutiny for allegedly funneling millions to extremist organizations. Perkins believes the SPLC has been using its legacy to leverage its influence on the left and marginalize conservative groups.
