If they gave their reason they’d immediately have a lawsuit, which they still could have

They gave it, in appropriate books for children and the pursuit of DEI.

Typical maga BS. And the idiots are applauding while our country is sliding further and further into suppression and dictatorship

His racism is UNBELIEVABLE

Any woman or person of color not appointed by trump is automatically assumed to have only gotten their job because of DEI...meanwhile trump is mining fox "news", the entertainment channel pushing conspiracy theories, for the least qualified individuals imaginable...

Just one look will tell you why.

It is the Library of Congress. Congress!!! trumpity dumpity should have no say whatsoever. Let’s see if any repugnant-icans have the courage to fight for Carla.

Oh, I can think of two reasons immediately that don't need to be spelled out.

Wrong color; wrong gender. Women are only good for the Rump in the workplace if they can lie on command and look sexy in his sick eyes. Being white is imperative.

Can’t have someone who is intelligent and highly qualified in there! 😢

It's all there in BLACK and WHITE!

Suck-hole Orange regime. Bullshit.

Karoline Leavitt said it best. She was fired for being black, with excuse, LIE, about inappropriate books??? White supremist asshat doesn’t know anything about Library of Congress. Remember folks, Republicans murdered the United States.

The Trump Regime strikes again. What a bunch of despicable idiots!

We can guess.

He is despicable.

She was fired illegally.

Being an accomplished and highly qualified black woman is a no-go for the Trump Reich.

Nazis hate librarians, libraries, books, and of course women and anyone of color.

Trump's government seems to have decided to not give justifications but rather just act and then see what pushback comes. And they put out so many of these dictates so quickly that pushback doesn't have time to build. It's Bannon's "Flood the zone" plan.

Trump’s a jerk and a racist. His entire Cabinet choices are just like him…he hates smart women too!

Yep. Nobody thinks Noem or Bondi are smart - both just want his praises and love his cruelty towards others …they are simply girls starving for affection in all the wrong places.

Do you really need a librarian if you ban all the books?

gregorybd.bsky.social•4 days ago

They are evil, racist, misogynistic A-holes!

jayshuck.bsky.social•4 days ago

Was the email in all caps and misspelled?

graves13.bsky.social•4 days ago

Being female and/or black aren't legal reasons to fire someon. Right? Hello? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

How many times will you, and Americans, clutch your pearls and say there is no limit? You know the answer. The longer you wait, the shorter that string of pearls.
