Came to a head a few years back. The ACLU decided to defend nazis right to protest, which a municipality was attempting to block. The ACLU succeeded, then lost most of its funding as donors pulled out. It immediately became left-wing propagandists after that, such as producing videos attempting to prevent Kavanaugh's right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. There are people form the old stock who have been interviewed since, saying it's nothing like it was.
