Millions in aid went to "Hate Groups" As much as 10 million

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/paycheck-protection-ppp-loans-hate-groups/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=93379437&fbclid=IwAR30d_XNm-KfYt1HegFw9iLK5Xixfz9od_dLnvrW0HpH3DUU5DMGQgkowyM

At least 10 groups with a history of making anti-Black, anti-LGBTQ or anti-immigrant statements received loans from the government's small business coronavirus relief fund.

The Center for Immigration Studies, for instance, a Washington, D.C.-based organization described as a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center, got as much as $1 million from the Paycheck Protection Program,

Another group is headed by James Dobson, whom Southern Poverty Law Center has said "is well known for his anti-LGBT views," claiming that homosexuals will "destroy the earth."

A tenth group, Concerned Women for America, has called allowing same-sex couples to raise children unconstitutional, according to pro-LGBTQ rights organization Human Rights Campaign.
