ActBlue CEO Refuses to Answer Questions on Foreign Funds
The Ben Ferguson Podcast exposes a seismic political scandal involving ActBlue and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), accusing both of enabling foreign interference and funding extremist groups while evading accountability. ActBlue’s CEO, Regina Wallace-Jones, repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a House hearing, refusing to answer questions about foreign donations—despite the platform raising over $2 billion in 2024. The episode highlights the hypocrisy of Democrats, who once demanded investigations into Russian election interference but now shield their own fundraising infrastructure from scrutiny. Meanwhile, the SPLC CEO, Brian Fair, faced a grilling over DOJ allegations that the organization secretly funneled millions to the KKK and Nazi groups, including paying a KKK leader a $1,200 monthly salary and approving cross-burning expenses. The episode culminates in a damning exchange where Fair refuses to condemn a Democrat Senate candidate with a Nazi SS tattoo—only to later admit he wouldn’t vote for him, revealing a deep ideological contradiction. Ferguson frames this as evidence of a left-wing establishment that weaponizes anti-hate rhetoric while enabling extremism behind closed doors.
ActBlue’s CEO invoked the Fifth Amendment over 10 times during a congressional hearing, refusing to answer questions about foreign donations despite raising $2B in 2024.
The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly paid over $4.1M to informants in the KKK and Nazi groups, including approving cross-burning expenses and offering salaries.
A Democrat Senate candidate with a Nazi SS tattoo was defended by the SPLC CEO, who only said he wouldn’t vote for him after being prompted—exposing a profound contradiction.
The episode reveals a pattern of left-wing institutions using anti-hate rhetoric while enabling extremist groups through covert funding and silence.
Democrats who once demanded investigations into Russian election interference are now shielding their own fundraising platforms from scrutiny.

Opening: Patriot Mobile Sponsor & National Crisis
Ben Ferguson opens with a sponsor ad for Patriot Mobile, framing it as a patriotic alternative to mainstream telecoms. He then sets the stage for two major political scandals: ActBlue’s foreign funding and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s alleged ties to hate groups.
ActBlue’s Fifth Amendment Defense
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer this question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.”
Jim Jordan’s Cross-Examination of ActBlue CEO
“How much money did ActBlue accept from Russia? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the constitution.”
Southern Poverty Law Center’s Alleged Funding of Extremists
“In two cases, informants who were active members of the local KKK chapter reportedly told the SPLC that they wanted out because they feared for their safety. Instead of supporting their exit, the SPLC employee allegedly encouraged them to remain involved and offered them a monthly salary of $1,200 to do so.”
The Nazi Tattoo Controversy & Ideological Collapse
“Do you think that somebody who has a Nazi tattoo on their chest should serve in the United States Senate? I wouldn't vote for that person.”
