The Federal Bureau of Investigation has cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League after many criticized the ADL for listing Turning Point USA as a hate group.

‘That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs.’

FBI Director Kash Patel referenced an address from former FBI Director James Comey to the Anti-Defamation League National Leadership Summit in 2017, where he literally expressed his love for the organization.

“James Comey wrote ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them — a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans,” he wrote on social media. “That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs.”

The ADL told Reuters that it had taken note of Patel’s statement and added that the organization “has deep respect” for the FBI.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk entered the fray and criticized the ADL.

In January, the ADL defended Musk from accusations that he had made a Nazi salute gesture during a rally for the second inauguration of President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C.

Musk previously accused the ADL of costing X ad revenue by demanding social media accounts be suspended for language it deemed offensive or extremist.
