After shameless kowtowing to right wing extremists in general and Elon Musk in particular, the radical right continued to go after them, and now FBI (mis)Director has severed all ties to the Anti-Defamation League, because even those house Jews are too uppity for the Nazis.
Don't give in to bullies. It just makes things worse.
FBI Director Kash Patel has ended a training and intelligence-sharing partnership with the Anti-Defamation League, accusing the organization of spying on conservative groups.
Patel announced the decision in a social media post Wednesday, criticizing a partnership celebrated under former FBI Director James Comey — a political adversary of President Donald Trump who was charged last week in an indictment sought by the Justice Department.
He singled out past speeches by Comey that the former director said amounted to “love letters” to the ADL, which has provided hundreds of tips about extremist activity per year to law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
“James Comey wrote ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them - a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans,” Patel wrote on X. “That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs.”………
Trump allies have increased their attacks on the ADL in recent weeks following the killing of Charlie Kirk. A summary of Kirk’s organization Turning Point USA on the group’s website earlier this year accused Kirk of promoting “Christian nationalism” and detailed the group’s ties to the far-right.
The page has since been removed from the ADL’s website.
So the ADL caved and got smacked anyway.
Giving into bullies isn't just wrong, it's stupid.
