CNN reported on systemic culture issues at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), including allegations of racism and sexism that led to the firing of co-founder Morris Dees and the resignation of President Richard Cohen. The hosts suggest the organization "fell apart from its own success," accumulating a $400 million war chest while failing to promote or fairly compensate its minority staff.

Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), was ousted from the organization amid allegations of racism and sexism. President Richard Cohen also resigned as employees complained of a toxic workplace run by "old white men." The internal collapse is described as a "coup d'etat" by younger socialist radicals within the wealthy fundraising juggernaut.
