Is there ever a news story that NBC won't land on the far-left side of? It's as if the 'MS' infected the 'NBC' part. So of course, when there was controversy around a far-left president of the American Library Association who is a self-described Marxist, we are treated to a story of her oppression at the hands of mean right-wingers in an era of censorship.
From NBC "News":
She said she wants to make sure that the LBGTQ community and Black people see themselves reflected in the books on their library shelves. And she’s planning to prepare libraries for the consequences of climate change, pointing to the severe flooding this summer in the Northeast.
What's not to love? She checks all the boxes for the Progressive Ideal. Why in the world do we need another Randi Weingarten?
But some Republicans have focused on a single tweet Drabinski sent over a year ago to incite an effort to defund and abandon the ALA, the oldest and largest nonprofit trade organization for libraries.
Enter the villains who are calling her out for one single, solitary and innocent Tweet that she deleted. DELETED!
Right-wing activists have asserted that librarians following the ALA’s lead have been captured by a “woke” ideology, have labeled the organization “radical” and accused it of pushing a sexual agenda on children.
Remove the scare quotes around 'woke' and 'radical' and you have a perfectly honest and correct assertion.
Then Ted Cruz noticed their Tweet.

NBC is a joke.

She’s a self-described Marxist. @nbc come roaring to defend a communist put in charge of our libraries.
Why would a devotee of Stalin, Lenin, Mao & Castro want to control the books we read? 🤔 https://t.co/A9AafGyUuy
Note: When you scroll through a Ted Cruz post, you have to scroll down past all the boogers - those nasty, slimy hangers that can't wait to spam his TL with memes. But then you find the good stuff. With that, let's dive in.
"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

“I was excited to highlight and celebrate two aspects of my identity that are really important to me, and are often under a lot of scrutiny,”

Yeah, a philosophy that allowed the murder of millions upon millions of people should be under scrutiny. FFS. https://t.co/ozHvtKuw1H
Her identity. One is repulsive and ugly, and it's not the lesbian part.
Where are all the leftist shrills screaming that the dems do not support communist/Marxist, that it is just a right wing conspiracy? https://t.co/zDEuk3u0Du

Sir, that was so last week. Today's Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud while the moderates are afraid to speak up.
