In an unsurprising yet satisfying turn of events, the FBI has finally severed its ties with the Anti-Defamation League, a group that’s long masked activism as fighting hate. For too long, this organization wielded its “Glossary of Extremism” like a weapon against any dissenting voices—particularly those on the right, like Turning Point USA, a group with a proud legacy now smeared by baseless accusations. Hats off to FBI Director Kash Patel for showing some spine where his predecessors bowed to wokeness.
Let’s not forget that infamous former FBI Director, James Comey, who once lavished praise on the ADL. He embedded FBI agents with them, effectively turning law enforcement into an instrument of political activism. His tenure left a stain on the agency, confusing genuine law enforcement with anti-conservative agenda-pushing. Comey’s collusion with the ADL to label conservative groups as extremists only added fuel to our nation’s divisions.
After the FBI has partnered with the ADL for years.
Kash Patel has terminated that partnership.
When James Comey was head of the FBI, the FBI began relying on the ADL to ID hate groups to go after, for training and for community outreach. Big win by Patel. pic.twitter.com/r23rGHrHiD

Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, has been a beacon of conservative values. Yet, they’ve been vilified by the ADL in now-deleted descriptions as a hub for various “bigots” and right-wing extremists. This reckless labeling paints an alarming picture: anyone who resists their woke agenda gets a scarlet letter. If you criticize the origins of COVID-19 or stand up against transgender indoctrination of our children, you’re suddenly a member of a “hate group.” Such is the twisted logic of the woke elite who can’t tolerate independent thought.
Bravo to patriots like Rep. Anna Paulina Luna for calling out this nonsense. The ADL’s standards seem to be nothing more than a list of liberal grievances against anyone not parroting their narrative. Their glossary is gone, but their methods remain suspect. With critics like Elon Musk rightly questioning how such labeling allowed the FBI to attack conservatives rather than protect them, it’s high time we reassess who defines “extremism.”
This is the dawning of a new era. No longer will federal agencies kowtow to unaccountable organizations whose true colors are finally showing. The FBI’s decision to cut the cord with the ADL is a step towards restoring its lost integrity. One has to ask: How many more so-called “hate groups” will the league of liberals conjure up before America sees through the charade?
