Recently, the Chronicle of Philanthropy posted on its website a podcast featuring Mark Krikorian, executive director of an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center deemed to be an anti-immigrant hate group. Following the 2019 mass shooting in El Paso, Tex., that targeted people of Mexican descent, Krikorian praised the shooter’s manifesto as “remarkably well written for a 21-year-old loner.” When a senior policy analyst at Krikorian’s organization told a Tea Party group that “being hung, drawn, and quartered is probably too good for” then-President Obama,” Krikorian observed that the employee “sometimes has used impolitic language” and said that “I admonished him to choose his words more carefully in the future.”
