Bensons Campaign Fights Back After DOJ Indictment Reveals Past SPLC Ties

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's campaign pushed back against Republican attacks over her past work with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which has been indicted by the Department of Justice. The state GOP demanded answers from the Democratic gubernatorial front-runner on what she knew about the center's alleged activities. Benson's campaign fired back, accusing Republicans of trying to 'muddy' the waters of a legitimate investigation. The campaign declined to comment further on specific details regarding her past work with the SPLC.
