In a stunning example of hypocrisy and double standards, Ryan Lentz of the Southern Poverty Law Center claims that extremist groups only exist on the right side of the political spectrum and that groups on the left are simply “grassroots” groups.
After authoring a report that claimed that “extremist groups on the rise in America,” Lentz was asked to come on the DeMaio Report to defend his research and claims.
Lentz had to admit that he only considers groups on the right to be “extremists” and only examined and counted groups on the right. As for groups on the left like Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street, Lentz believes those groups are “the good guys.”
Pressed further, Lentz hangs up mid-interview. Classy.
