You don’t have to look hard to find the irony in a defamation lawsuit filed Monday by Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes against the Southern Poverty Law Center.

A conservative political commentator, McInnes objects that the SPLC labeled the Proud Boys—which at a press conference he described as “basically a pro-Trump drinking club”—as a hate group, allegedly causing him to lose employment opportunities, get kicked off Facebook, Twitter and Pay Pal, and be shunned by his neighbors in New York’s upscale Westchester County.
