Believe or don't believe Lyndsey Fifield on Platner. But her background is interesting when discussing [View all]

her connection to Platner. So I put this here - just for extra information.

Now this is from JNS News which is a pro Israel conservative group. So they are happy to slam the Southern Poverty Law Center and support Lindsay Fifield and her fellow podcaster, Bethany Mendal.

Moms for Liberty is a far-right organization that engages in anti-student inclusion activities and self-identifies as part of the modern parental rights movement,” per the SPLC.

Bethany Mandel, a mother, conservative columnist and co-author with Karol Markowicz of the recently published Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation, has worked with Moms for Liberty; delivered speeches to its chapters; and befriended many of its members. She plans to go to the group’s summit in Philadelphia, which is taking place from June 29 to July 2.

“It is a group of passionate women who in no way resemble extremists or a hate group. The SPLC are beclowning themselves and exposing nothing but their own bias,” Mandel told JNS.

“It’s unfortunate that the SPLC has made clear that Jewish families don’t have a reliable source for this kind of content,” she added. “They just have another left-wing group, which falsely uses antisemitism as a cudgel against its political enemies.”

Snip

Lyndsey Fifield, a mother and digital consultant who has worked at several Conservative organizations, told JNS that she knows the staff at SPLC, having lived in Alabama.

“As a Christian with Jewish friends, it is scary to see this coming from people who claim to be fighting for racial and social justice,” she said.

According to Fifield, SPLC uses its designations of hate groups as an intimidation tactic, to silence mainstream Conservative voices. She told JNS that “it is chilling to see how the SPLC is weaponizing their hate map against what was considered mainstream only 10 years ago.”

Does that mean Fifield and her allegation of manhandling is true or exaggerated or not true at all? Don’t know. But can we have our suspicions when no other girlfriend has volunteered physical abuse of any kind even a strong armed hold? That’s for each person to decide.
