Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?

[Swede]

Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

Some of the replies on Bluesky:

The LOC is a research library.
It collects millions of items.
Materials may be used on-site only.
Patrons must be 16 or older.
Leavitt is entirely full of shit.

I've not read all the comments, but you have to be 16 years old to even enter the library of Congress. Karoline Leavitt is a twit.

The Library of Congress is a library of record. That means it retains a copy of everything. It does not serve children. Leavitt again demonstrates the depth of her ignorance. Maybe she should have spent more time in libraries.

She doesn't know what the Library of Congress is

1. Priceless artifacts, documents, etc.

[FirstLight]

2. Well you nailed it

As a library of record, obviously they intend to wipe the record clean don't they?

[JustAnotherGen]

3. I know why

She's a Black woman.

I've noted that.

There are no off ramps for the maga Repub voter. They are each personally responsible for that racist firing.

4. And she is way smarter than it and it's incompetent boobs.

Can't have that, now, can we?

6. First Woman and Black American

The position of Librarian of Congress is so apolitical that only 14 people have held the role since 1802.

Hayden, who was the first woman and Black American to serve as Librarian of Congress, has held the position since 2016.

7. Leavitt is just a garbage nothing

I'm losing patience sheshe.

[sheshe2]

9. I know she is.

I know you are, JAG.

We are in a dangerous place and I don't think this is going to end well.

5. BECAUSE HE CAN.

He will continue to do anything he damn well pleases UNTIL SOMEONE SMACKS HIM DOWN.


Did you get it the first time?

He will continue to do anything he damn well pleases UNTIL SOMEONE SMACKS HIM DOWN.


Everything's a cover and a prelude to his planned coup to make Putin the unelected leader of the U.S..

Expose it so that people know and will fight it at every turn.

12. We have to

smack him down, or it will continue to get worse. He's insane, aren't we all tired of the insanity????

[dchill]

14. Putin is already the unelected leader of the U.S.

Until someone smacks him down.

[usonian]

15. I think that Zelenskyy will carefully study the US intelligence reports

and take out Putin where the reports say he isn’t.

[dchill]

16. I like the way you think. 🤔

[usonian]

18. Lies come with a distant early warning system.

[milestogo]

8. Because his idea of a good time is saying "you're fired" to people who don't deserve it.

[maxsolomon]

10. She a Democrat. She's black.

Obama appointed her.

Any of those are reason enough for the cabal. All liberals will be purged from Govt.

[ananda]

11. That answer is easy.

These worse than Nazi guys want to
erase and rewrite history, and that
means getting rid of reading material
and banning stuff.

[oldmanlynn]

13. She keeps the base happy

Until we start really holding other Americans accountable, it’s not gonna change. They could change it if they voiced their disapproval.

[dcweed]

17. With respect, I differ...

Leavitt may be a twit, and clearly does not comprehend what the LOC is and does.
However, her statement illuminates a deeper characteristic;
She is, simply, and without question, a liar.
And that is precisely why she is employed by the current Maladministration.

19. every time that leavitt bitch opens her mouth she's talking out of her ass! she's a disease nt
