The Hate Hunter (episode 301)

Heidi Beirich tracks hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center. She is an expert on various forms of extremism, including the white supremacist, nativist and neo-Confederate movements. In this episode of Roughly Speaking, Beirich talks about hate groups in Maryland, but more generally about how she works, and how the SPLC goes about declaring American organizations to be hate groups. Beirich oversees the SPLC’s annual survey of the nation’s hate and anti-government groups, available on the center's interactive Hate Map, which lists 917 such groups across the country and 18 in Maryland.Links:https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9afOBRDWARIsAJW4nvyf1Nyhh6ZPUwFwhXZz1rzEeL3HVONCLrGGwKsegNteMV0LPZFiGMwaAi6jEALw_wcB
