Ingraham praised Alveda King for testifying against the SPLC, characterizing it as an organization that "fuels racism." King did testify before House Republicans in June 2026 as the SPLC faces a federal indictment alleging it secretly funneled over $3 million to individuals associated with violent extremist and racist groups without informing donors how their money was being used. The organization denies wrongdoing and legal experts have questioned the indictment's legal basis. The characterization of the SPLC as an organization that "fuels racism" remains politically contested. While prosecutors make serious allegations about how the organization handled donor funds, whether it actually fuels racism is a matter of interpretation and debate rather than an established legal or factual finding. The SPLC's informant activities involved coordination with law enforcement, but the indictment specifically alleges donors weren't told about these connections and how their contributions were being deployed.
