The ADL ‘Glossary of Extremism and Hate’ claimed Turning Point USA had a history of ‘bigoted statements,’ a charge the group rejects.

The FBI said on Wednesday it had cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, a prominent Jewish group that tracks antisemitism, after Republicans criticized the group for including slain activist Charlie Kirk’s organization in a glossary on extremism.
In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau “won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs.”
The ADL did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was not immediately clear what sort of ties the FBI had with the ADL.
Patel’s announcement followed criticism of the ADL by right-wing activists and leaders, including billionaire Elon Musk, over its inclusion of Kirk’s Turning Point USA in a “Glossary of Extremism and Hate” on its website.
Kirk was assassinated on a college campus in September.
After that criticism, the ADL removed the entire glossary from its website.
The glossary had said that Turning Point USA had a history of “bigoted statements,” a charge the group rejects.
