Dem Rep. Doug Jones: The SPLC Indictment Is ‘Pure Political Retribution’

EXCERPT:

JONES: “The indictment that was returned against the Southern Poverty Law Center is just simply outrageous. This is not the pursuit of justice. This is pure political retribution. This is a Trump administration going after anyone who might oppose them, not just as a tax exempt organization, but just seeking criminal charges against an organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center that has been around for 55 years and done remarkable work seeking justice on behalf of individuals and communities who cannot seek that justice themselves, that do not have that resources.”
