Jocelyn Benson’s bid for Michigan governor is slipping—and she has no one to blame but herself and the far-left cronies she chose to align with. Here we have the so-called “frontrunner,” once the Secretary of State, now caught with her hands deep in the mess at the Southern Poverty Law Center. That organization—the darling of liberal elites—is in chaos after a federal indictment hit it with eleven counts, from wire fraud to money laundering. And Benson’s fingerprints are all over their operations.
Let’s be honest. The SPLC has always loved to wag its finger at conservatives, calling anyone right of Bernie Sanders some kind of “extremist.” Turns out, it was their own house that was burning. The latest bombshell? The SPLC allegedly funneled millions to hate groups—the KKK, Aryan Nation, and the National Alliance—while pretending to be America’s top watchdog against racism. They paid informants inside these groups, even allegedly helping organize the infamous Charlottesville rally in 2017. All the while, they built their brand by scaring liberal donors into handing over their cash.
Benson wasn’t just a bystander. She wasn’t the coffee runner at a few meetings. She was up to her neck, investigating hate groups and serving on the SPLC’s board—positions of power and influence—while these alleged criminal schemes unfolded. She even bragged about her pride in that role! This isn’t the “progressive leadership” Michigan needs; it’s a recipe for disaster, cooked up by globalists who would rather manipulate public outrage than actually solve America’s problems.
The hypocrisy is sickening. Liberals like Benson are quick to accuse everyday Americans of “hate,” but they never seem to notice when their own heroes fund, coordinate, and manipulate those very hate groups. Now that the DOJ is looking under their rock, the whole thing stinks. And remember, Benson only resigned from the SPLC when things got hot in 2019—just in time to save her own skin for a future campaign. How convenient.
Are Michigan voters really supposed to trust a candidate tangled up with an outfit accused of enriching racists while virtue-signaling to the world? The left claims to stand against hate, but follows the money and you’ll find corruption, sleaze, and jaw-dropping hypocrisy. Benson’s campaign should serve as a wake-up call: elections matter, and so do the friends you keep. If you ask me, Michigan deserves better than a governor who used race and outrage as stepping stones to power. How many more skeletons are hiding in the left’s closet?
