Apparently the only qualifications you need to be press sec in the MAGA Administration is blonde hair and tits. No brain necessary.

*fake blonde hair and *fake tits.
Children shouldn’t be reading. They should be working the fields, at night, in the rain. No water breaks. Like a real American.
Put em in the coal mines early
You’re forgetting their tiny hands are perfect for a 12 hour shift putting in iPhone screws.
And reaching between the spools of thread at the mill.
That’s the day shift. They can nap in between. That’s what kids do, right? Nap.
she has never once visited the Library of Congress. probably couldn't even spot it on a map or tell you what it even looks like. same with Trump (obviously) and the majority of the administration of TV Friends™.
Same old play. Getting sick of this?
Hey, Leavitt. Your job. Leave it. Not remotely qualified.
The Children’s section…..it’s not as if they can check books out of the LOC. But MAGAT’s being the ignorant dumbasses they are, hear Library, and think LOC is just like their local libraries
MAGA doesn’t even read. Not sure why they care about books so much.
It’s a revenge thing against those who read books and know things.
I know a MAGA who would not take her kids to the public library because she herself owed a one dollar fine to her SCHOOL library from third grade. She honestly thought all libraries were connected.
Color me surprised
It's Trump insider wonk-speak. Children = The People
I don’t think she understands what the Library of Congress is.
I think she's under orders to make sure that the purpose of the Library of Congress is totally misunderstood by the public.
You’re giving them way too much credit.
I'm so sick of this bimbo and her rust stained boss 😫
The Nazis burned books because their content did not fit into their worldview. youtube.com/watch?v=ue7h...
She should have said, "The librarian was an educated black woman, so she had to be fired." www.thepoke.com/2025/05/10/k... #Prejudice #Racist #nazibarbie #Cheetolini #Notmypresident #conman #Grifter #Impeachtrump #resist #kakistocracy #fucktrump #dumptrump #HisMAGAsty #NoKingsNoClowns #Bigot
She isn’t even a good liar because she is stupid.
Didn’t she also eat children? Or was it that she had sex with them? Maybe she had sex with them & then ate them? Isn’t that what MAGA thinks all who are not straight white males do?
She had pizza with them? Held drag shows in the library? Idk man I’m sure it’s something bad…🙄
This is why the library of Congress but it should be long to Congress and the executive branch should have absolutely no f****** authority whatsoever over it. Remember this when it comes reform time
She knows too much.
KKKaroline, you KNOW why she was fired. Just say it - the Trump administration is racist to its core and will do all it can to promote White Nationalism. It seems like you are proud of that. So just say it.
So the real answer is, "Look, we saw she was exceptionally qualified. The first proper librarian since 1974. But she is African American, so we had to fire her. Basically, we are racist and misogynistic and that is what we do.
They’re all monsters… just terrible people. She prays before going to the pulpit of bullshit to spew more nonsense.
This people are insane
Yes, completely insane!
You are absolutely right. They are insane. Forgive me for saying this, but aside from everything else, these people need to get laid. They need a really, really good lay. That might restore some of the humanity they have lost.
Fuck that. There would be a chance that they would reproduce and that’s not good for any of us.
🤣🤣🤣 good point!!!
You mean, if FLOTUS could just stay at the WH more, the U.S. would be doing all good? 😅
No. He is a lame duck, if you catch my drift.
Yes, totally agree!
Uh, something like that! 🤣 I think, though, that he in particular may be beyond all hope.
With all due respect, this is a very naive thought if you meant it with any kind of seriousness. Even Goebells & Kissinger were "ladies men" because being evil has never prevented evil people from finding other evil people to sleep with
Oh please. They are morons. They are hateful. What a childish assertion.
Or a couple of joints
Her husband is 40+ years her senior, he groomed her and they married when she was a teenager. They are twisted!
Huh? If you're talking about Melania Trump, she's 55, and though I can well believe Trump may be lying about his age, I don't think he's pushing 100.
I got her confused with another member of congress who met when his wife was a teenager and he was around 40 years older. Karoline Leavitt’s husband is 35 years older than her. She is 27 and he is 62.
No, Temu Press Secretary Barbie!
Correction, he is 35 years older than her. She is 27, he is 62 and they met when she was in her 20’s. Still…🤮
Why are you people so fucking weird.
Total fkg bullshit. They're such grotesque garbage they're probably going to try naming the Library of Congress after trump.
Wait WHAT??? Is she really that stupid? And did any the journalists LOL???
How many children are in Congress? Is this something new? Or is she just a lying idiot?
Or maybe an admission ....
I can’t wait to see Leavitt scraping for a spot on dancing with the stars. Or come out with a line of Christian jewelry or some shit.
They're all going to come out of this so filthy rich it won't matter. The only relief most of us will get is watching them go to prison. The challenge will be getting to them before the mass pardons begin.
She already married a billionaire old enough to be her grandpa.
She’ll miss the spotlight- it’s hard to give up after holding court for 4 years.
😂🤣
Gross
She was too black for them. Period! Full stop!
I'm quite sure there's an extra place in hell for women like her.
I would prefer if the hell part could start now while she is still alive on earth although I am willing for her to go right now to Mars w/ EM & stay there for 4 years.
And what were those "quite concerning things"? And since when is "the pursuit of DEI" (whatever that means) illegal?
Right? That would be an excellent follow up question! White House “reporters” are just SYCOPHANTS now.
!
The White House has made it clear that they believe (without evidence) that “DEI” programs are illegal discrimination against non-minority people.
That’s just an excuse to purge women and people of color, implying of course that they’re intrinsically inferior and thus undeserving of the positions they held.
Yup. But it is entirely consistent with their grievance-based objectives. Mediocre white (presumably straight and cisgender) men feel like they’re being discriminated against, and this administration is stoking those hurt fee-fees and riding them into office. It’s foul, but it explains it all.
Translation: She's black and we are purging all black people.
This is it EXACTLY
Exactly!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
She's Black *and* a woman. Twofer!
That and incompetence because she knows nothing about the Library of Congress.
💯 truth
Wait till she finds out about the Pope :-)
F*ck the Pope. Wait until they find out that Dr. Seuss is DEI.
And all intelligent people. Double whammy.
All the women.
Exactly. Triple whammy.
I wish they did say this directly. I mean we had a billionaire do a nazi salute on stage. Why are they holding this back? Its not as if the lawsuits and judges matter.
She is such a fooking liar. Someone else I'd like to punch in the face. [My list is growing.] And is there no intelligent life form in the press Corp to call her out on this? WTF!
Well… Trump basically only wants people who suck his dick to be ones there and asking questions
Why even have reporters there? Just to spread his lies, I suppose. Someone always believes them. The dumbing of the USA.
This reminds me of the height of the blog era, when Kim du Toit suggested that the President (Dubya of course) should just disband the press corps and govern by press release. Replace press release with tweet and he got his wish.
I don't recall that, but it sounds like what the current regime is doing.
Yep. Weirdly exactly.
dishonesty runs large in this one
It is now a proven fact she just makes shit up.
It's in her job description, "go out there and just make shit up."
I am sure, the Librarian of Congress knows, as opposed to Leavitt, that children don’t have access to the library.
So that means there aren’t children’s books in the library?
👍
every book published in the US is in the Library of Congress (and everything else published in the US too), regardless of audience
Thank you
It's a research library, not a circulating library. Patrons have to read the material ON SITE. No kid is checking out books!
More “knowledge “
Why would she know that? She doesn’t care about what’s real. She has a ventriloquist hand up her backside moving her lips. 🇺🇸😪
So she and trump don’t know that the LOC’s mandate is to collect every book ever published? They apparently think that LOC is just a local library for Congress to use. What fucking dangerous morons they are!
The stupidity! KKKaroline doesn't even know what the Library of Congress is, does she?
Why do I want to punch her in the face?
Get in line.
Do I take a number? Is there a charge? I'm happy to pay it, I just need to know when I want to get back in line... a thousands times.
it's extremely punchable.
Ñame two “quite concerning things” she’s done. We’ll wait.
Leavitt - channeling her inner Goebbels.
She was black and a woman
Bingo.
Says the Stepford wife
Is there a college that trains the losers for a degree in Stupidity?
Children can't use the Library of Congress. Their lies aren't even hard to dissect
Exactly.
Does no one push back on that, or do they just let her asinine statement stand?
It's a room full of hand picked sycophants for the most part. I'm surprised someone even asked.
No one under 16 can access books there
My favorite childhood nickname given to me by my Mama in the 1960s. It’s a fond memory of a Mom no longer here. Fascist won’t stop Mamas !
Once again relying on the stupidity of MAGA. Using the buzzwords that excite MAGA (DEI) and how they think that the library of Congress is the same as a local library that MAGA has been brainwashed to think is nothing more than a location for drag queen story hour.
It's like they have trailer park MAGA research groups where they go fishing for the next wild and ridiculous allegations, then hop on the bullhorn and announce them, full-throated, as unassailable fact. Soooooooo sick of the lies and misinformation
Someone needs to tell the White House that Fahrenheit 451 is not a manual
Neither is Handmaid's Tale
When this is over, leavitt will go right to work at fox.
Thankfully that's the only job she'll ever get.
Quite possibly, but she seems pretty stupid even by Fox standards, no?
Oh she’ll fit right in. Blonde big gold cross, stupid as a stone.
Yeah, and Trump has a real knack for choosing very articulate stupid people. Like Witkoff, for another example.
When this is over, Fox won't exist.
I'm not so sure. Fascists and dictators have always been here, and always will be. So they have a ready made audience.
In Germany, they dismantled the trappings of fascism after the war. I suggest we do the same. There's no "free market" for fascism. You outlaw it.
Or CECOT…
This is from the person who prays to Jesus before each WH briefing.
Leavitt is a liar and a fascist. Hopefully she will end up in prison in a few years, where she belongs.
Look where is got Sarah Huckabee. After all the lies she told for his first admin she can’t even get funds to help her state after tornado damage.
Library of Congress has a children's section?
just like every library or whatever!
Not just like every library, it isn’t “that” kind of library. It has a young readers area with books to browse. It is used primarily for programming.
I apologize, can I plead passionate librarian who has not had caffeine yet?
abso-friggin-lutely
😅😅
Yes. That's where Rudy Giuliani hosts drag queen story hour.
This is NOT the Library of Congress. The Congressional Library is for Members of Congress only!
Objectionable material, like copies of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Let me sum it for you, Barbie. tRump is a racist and he only fired her cuz she's black. End of story!!!
He didn’t need to fire her, he could’ve transferred her to a more appropriate dept like HUD? (Hint: this is sarcasm)! You see she has not just one but TWO unforgivable dings against her 1. Black 2. Appointed by Obama
🤦♀️ will this madness ever end? Day 111 and I feel really exhausted already. 😟
It will, because every dog has their day. He will do a bit more damage, but it will come to an end. The Trump Administration will not win this war on the American people!
That’s what they’re counting on. Don’t let them. ♥️
I won't! I just wish it wasn't so hard.
🫡
🫡
Exactly, let’s not complicate matters.
Pretty much so... wait till the replacement gets in; It wouldn't be a surprise if she's told to remove all books relating to DEI and colored history as well.
Barbie herself is also a fascist …
Yes. Very yes.
And a woman
😳
Wow 🤮
She's gonna be popular in prison!!!
Sig Heil, Eva Braun.
I can't wait until she hangs.
YES, PLEASE, and soon ! But I want her to suffer first !!!
Nazism 😡
....it's not that kind of fucking library
There is no kiddie section to the library of Congress that children have access to.
Exactly. This would be the kind of library where documents documenting the work of the Congress would be registered and filed. The way these people are trying to ruin the country and bypass Congress, you wouldn’t want a librarian who’s conscientiously registering and filing now…
It's also the kind of library that has copies of everything with a registered copyright.
And not one reporter pointed this out!!??
What reporters? Tim Pool's "Russia's not so bad you guys" Tsarist News Hour?
no that would require them to be more than a mouthpiece
Yea there job isn't to question things just write it down.
Not what I learned in journalism school but thats what the publishers want
Well you can't ask too many questions or you will lose your spot to Tim Pool
Or Pim Tool ? … 🤔
Kinda hard to ask questions when your lips are firmly planted on his ass.
No one challenged her because she could have that person thrown out of the briefings
This is the bigger problem and why these press conferences are a waste of time
They haven’t a clue
“Reporters” in the White House “press pool” right now are propaganda crisis actors, not independent media
They probably don't know what it is either. Everyone with a platform seems to be an idiot at best
There are a lot of ill informed complicit "journalists " in that room nowadays
They don’t let real reporters in there.
They’re complicit.
What a lying trumpshit!
Fascists are afraid of books and knowledge in general.
Translation: We are abhorrent racists and she was not the color we prefer. Gonna do something?
what an idiot...and what destructive cretin will now be put in charge of this national treasure?
A reminder that in the course of history, good people don’t ban books.
When we get through this period of stupid my home is that we find ways to never be here again.
Home?
"hope" presumably, one letter typo.
Exactly.
Uninformed/illiterate president… “This special collection presents children’s books selected from the General and Rare Book Collections at the Library of Congress.“ 1/
3/ www.loc.gov/collections/...
“The collection includes classic works that are still read by children today, and lesser-known treasures drawn from the Library’s extensive collection of historically significant children’s books. The books in this collection were published in the United States and England before 1924…” 2/
Translation: She was fired because she was Black. Full stop.
Let me guess, they let that go unchallenged?
This. This is a fundamental problem with the press corp.
At some point they’re just complicit in spreading propaganda.
No lie is a bad lie, says the liar in chief and his minion liars. Every. Single. Day.
Doing her job then. Gestapo.
🤦🏽♂️
Or …. She is a woman of color.
Copyright requires two books of everything published in the U.S. goes to the Library of Congress. Leavitt, once more, is bearing false witness
I’m surprised that giant cross hasn’t yet started burning her demon flesh yet.
She very much enjoys a cross burning.
Another piece of evidence that God isn't real.
He is real. All the bullshit done in His name… not so much.
That changed when they dropped the 28 years + 28 years (if you file paperwork) rule! Now “copyright is upon creation” without filing anything. Codicil: in order to sue for damages, you have to file copies with LoC, but just to stop usage of your material without permission, you don’t need to do so!
Have they scheduled the book 🔥 burning at LoC yet?
Or just stupid
She obviously has no idea what the Library of Congress does. I doubt if any children ever frequent that beautiful place.
They don't They can't check out NO ONE takes books from the Library of Congress Even adults who want to research titles held there have to submit a request & provide proof or research credentials Its not a public library where kids leave with books FFS She's a LIAR
Expect a fire, you all.
Yes, she’s a liar, but she’s also exceptionally stupid. This answer seemed pretty close to the stupid end of her lying range.
Disagree. She is a clever liar but it's hard to come up with shady answers for everything. She seems stupid to anyone thinking about it directly as an answer to a question, but what she's giving is a cover story for inexcusable behavior. Her job is to legitimize it for the masses.
On reflection, I think there’s a way to harmonize our views here. What I’ve been calling stupidity is perhaps more accurately called ignorance. Clever but ignorant captures her better, I think.
You’re right that it’s a cover story and that it’s her job. However what you see as clever, I see as merely articulate.
Ok. I want to avoid calling her stupid though. That's a fair out for people like Hegseth, maybe, but Levitt knows exactly what she is saying. She's not ignorant of the facts, she's just morally empty enough to ignore them.
I think she often displays literal ignorance, but we’ve got the same gal!
The Librarian was in charge of the Congressional Library! It is open only to the members of congress.
She thinks it’s the lending library of Congress.
Worse. She knows what it is. The only audience that matters is the base...?
The base who they’re bankrupting and killing through negligence.
........... the library of congress is a children's library? well that does explain why our president is arond there..
Part of "The Purge."
Easy guess they are setting up Library of Congress to have a massive "book burning" exactly like NAZI Säuberung May 1933 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_bo... Florida has already forced it at a few state colleges filling dumpsters with books that contradict their oppression
She is ridiculous, standing there and parroting Heritage bs.
This bitch still lying every day every time she opens her mouth.
Duck this dumb blonde and fuck Donald Trump, that fat rapist.
I believe it is the demeanor of these people that will ultimately bring them down. It’s not just what they do. It’s not just the reckless incompetence. It is the callous manner in which they do it. It’s the pleasure they take in hurting others. It’s the same feeling I get when I see bullying. Rage.
Sigh. Just what is... You know I gave up understanding this country. The library of Congress is a place of records. It issues copyrights and other important things for publishers. It's not just a library. It is is THE library of records and research.
When you have a king who is the law, you don't need other institutions, especially if those institutions are run by the untermensh.
Thanks, SCOTUS. I hope Judge Roberts rots in the depths of hell for giving us Trump 2.0
The other "conservatives" are equally at fault and should join the one we thought might save us. Any one of them could have wanted democracy and rule of law to function.
Sanity has left the country.
So kids books are a bigger threat than the Sec. of Defense using an unsecure system to coordinate military operations?
Do books children can't even check out of the Library of Congress help Putin's foreign policy goals?
Right? They don't even understand what the Library of Congress is!!!
Leavitt clearly lacks understanding of what the library of congress is or what the librarian does
Oh no, she knows. She’s just playing dumb for the Fox audience.
I honestly think she’s clueless
You are way overestimating her
In the Library.....of Congress?!?!
FFS. Are these people insane? ….’sigh’….of course they are…😳
I would lawyer up so fast and sue her for slander.
“Pursuit of DEI” = allowing a black woman to play a flute.
These are all valid points but not a single reporter in that room asked her about them
How and why can the president even touch anything that has to do with Congress? I don’t know how many times I’ve asked what is wrong with the US for doing different shit. Now I have to again. What is wrong with the US since you don’t have laws in place to protect your democracy. Autocracy/fascism.
Yes. The US president is eroding ppls rights. Removing DEI. Trying to make himself above the justice system so that anyone answer to him ultimately. He’s trying to move manufacturing to the US without cheap labor. What could be his plans? I suspect he will bring back a form of slavery. Forced
Labour for US citizen that don’t behave as he want. He has already started work toward allowing him to intern citizens. As it is now it can only be done if there is insurrection or similar. He want to be allowed to do that at will. This is what I think is in Americans future.
🤣👍
If you think Leavitt is going to be hit by lightning and become intelligent, not going to happen Requirement to serve the Great Orange Dope? Be dumb, stupid and bonkers
I keep waiting for her crucifix to burst into flame
But being hit by lightning is still on the table, right?
And an asshole. MAGAts are all assholes. 😒
And, wear a cross. There are a few in the lineup.
Holy shit! This moron takes the cake The Great Orange Dope has managed to round up the largest group of dimwhit, morally bankrupt, illiterate dumb asses in the history of our country Can you think of one clown in his cult qualified for their job? NO
You might want to think about what that acronyms into
Eww, eww, I get to use my new favorite word, kakistocracy!😁
kakistocracy(n.) "government by the worst element of a society," 1829, coined (by Thomas Love Peacock) on analogy of its opposite, aristocracy, from Greek kakistos "worst," superlative of kakos "bad" (which perhaps is related to PIE root *kakka- "to defecate") + -cracy.
Regularly used in the UK to describe Government under the fatally incompetent and corrupt Johnson.
She is saying that members of Congress are children?
Leavitt is a bought and paid for disgrace.
Lobotomized Barbie is tragic
Poor KKKaroline, the thought of a "Library" with "Books" in, run by a "Librarian" who happens to be "a Woman of Colour". I can see how all four could cause her #UncleWooWoo to shit peas.
Never heard 'shit peas' before. Is that regional scatology?
Loving your play on words Geezer ...
A talking Barbie doll. Just wind her up
Please don't insult Barbie.
Barbie is way cooler and WAY more competant and smart than this wannabe.
lol, sounds like she doesn’t know what the LoC is exactly
What "children" are wandering around the Library of Congress???????
This one.
Don’t let her use “DEI”. FU with “So that I understand she was fired because she believed in diversity, equity and inclusion? Don’t use their acronym.
I like that Follow Up is FU. Totally fitting in this case.
Good point. Make them say they don't believe in fairness. Because that's what it means. They are saying it could be done better. They don't want to do it at all.
Correction they *aren't* saying it could be done better...
Fuck off
Does she think "The Library of Congress" has a regular children's section? There's an "appointment only" section of historical children's literature, but it's not some free-for-all.
They don't think that. They're Making low quality excuses for the crimes they are about to commit
You could have stopped at “they don’t think.”
They are smart. They have a plan. They are executing it. They are going to do so much damage on purpose. They will burn the country to the ground and salt the earth just to rule over the ruins.
Project 2025/techBros running things. That’s we his “response“ is always “have to ask the lawyers I don’t know “
Also true
That was my immediate thought- she has no idea what the Library of Congress is and neither does FOTUS. There are not moms with toddlers and strollers wandering in for Wednesday 10am storytime.
Nobody accused them of critical thinking
What the F-k? We seriously need to stand up, do an uprising to take back our country that they don’t give a crap about. This ADMINISTRATION is TOTALLY out of control. It’s going to take ALL of us!!!! We need to formulate a plan, set a date and save our country!! Tell Leavitt to go suck a big one.
June 14 is the next massive demonstration everywhere all at once. 50501
Declare enough 🤫
The fact that she is so comfortable lying should terrify everyone
She needs to take that cross off her neck before she gets struck by lightning for lying so damn much.
What you didn't notice the giant cross on her chest? She's been indoctrinated her entire life. All she knows are lies. So it's easy for her. She lies in the name of God. End of rant.
It’s so gross
It’s why most of this regime are FOX hosts and realty tv personalities. A mockery of our country—
The endless BS of these idiots.
Deceiving and deplorable press secretary.
She’s such an idiot. And a liar.
Most MAGAs have had their completed lobotomies by now. I believe she was one of the first. You can usually tell by the fake smile and the inability to answer crucial and critical questions honestly. How much money has the Trump administration paid these puppets to make the truth optional?
I still can't believe she is the same age as me and 1000% smarter than her.
I’m sure you are! Hell, my CAT is smarter than her
A rock is smarter.
Bullpucky!
Is it too much to ask for a Press Secretary who knows what the Library of Congress is?
Anyone ask what, specifically, were those things? There are third graders that lie better than she does. Any day now she’ll say something like, “All the other kids, I mean leaders, are doing it.”
Exactly. Produce the list in court at the illegal termination trial. Also, at the defamation hearing. She's just said a professional person was assisting minors to access pornography.
Sorry. Not necessarily porn, but 'inappropriate' material. Whatever. She has claimed the person was acting unprofessionally, and was fired due to that. Prove it!
Bleach blond bimbo…
She thinks children learn to read at the Library of Congress. They learn at home and in HEAD START /Pre-K programs!!! 🤬🤬
Talibantrumpy
Republycans just don't have a command of English usage.What children's books are in the Library of Congress?
What children’s are in Congress?..
FFS
I can’t with how dumb things keep getting 😞
So that’s a lie.
SHE DOESN'T KNOW CHILDREN DON'T USE THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. How stupid can she be? Real stupid.
You appear to be suggesting that if she did know, she would have answered differently. She would not.
it would of course depend on the recording that is playing in her brain. She has no ability to think independently.
She is a complete moron.
Is her septuagenerian this dense also?
Do you even need to ask?
Which is why she got the job.
Yup, exactly. And apparently, has no shame.
But do they have Drag readings for adults? ..asking for a friend.
of course no reporter pointed out the inanity of her comment
They would have been booted from the room. Great way to do a press conference, right?
hmm that would've made for interesting visuals...a journalist dragged from the room by Trump administration goons
thx
She doesn't know & had never been there, nor has he, nor the fools who put this in front of him. It's performance art 24/7. Next person they appoint will purge all "dei" content & that will be a loss to the world. Sickening. Do something Americans!!!
She's a lying piece of crap and a fake Christian.
This Republicunt Stepford wife clearly doesn't know what the Library of Congress is.
Or is counting on their base not knowing and the media being too complicated or cowed to correct her.
*complicit, not complicated. Sorry.
She's probably never been inside a library in her entire worthless life.
First- how did the President fire the Librarian of Congress?!?!?! Second- WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! Third- @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social are you going to let this continue to happen?!?!? FUCKING DO MORE Fourth- WHAT THE FUCKKKkk???
She doesn't know what the Library of Congress is
Can’t spell it either…
😡😡😡
Onhasayo.
hitlers assistant lies again
Skank
Hey, Bullshit Barbie! At least those kids are learning to read. You can’t handle anything more advanced than Green Eggs and Ham, and I’m not too sure about that either.
Does she think the Library of Congress is a big gathering space for children?
I just so completely DESPISE these idiots I can't tell if they are more evil or stupid
Sadly, there's an equal mixture of both.
Yup
Coin landed on the side…
Next she'll say they host a Drag Queen Story Hour every Sunday.
And, sadly, there are untold numbers of terminally gullible fools who would believe her.
These idiots think the Library of Congress is a standard lending library.
😀
With a children’s section
Yes. It has two copies of every book published in the United States since 1870. There's an interpretive center there for kids 8-12, if I recall correctly. But it's not a lending library. Do you get the distinction?
The knowledge contained in those books must be saved. It is like that Administration is trying to create another Dark Ages by erasing significant portions of history, science, literature, and the arts.
That's freaking cool. A real treasure!
I feel the person you are replying to was being sarcastic and was actually agreeing with your point.
I do too, but I've kind of reached peak sarcasm
Never can have too much sarcasm
Yup. Sarcasm, and its more sophisticated sibling, satire, have been bludgeoned to death by the reality of actual nutcases, kooks, and psychopaths in power (and those handing them power), currently normalizing serious fuckery via an opposite-of-merit fascist coup.
but it’s more funny if you don’t point that out
Or is it?? ..no wait. You're right.
Pretty sure they understood and you didn't understand their sarcasm.
I'm surprised that it doesn't have a children's section for politicians to use.
Apparently they need to translate all the books, pop up style for them to comprehend America's literature and laws.
🙄 geez
Story time on Wednesday afternoons
Reading Lady Chatterley's Lover out loud to the kindergarten crowd
Exactly. There's a visitor center with a children's interpretive unit, but it's not peddling smut
Hmm, it couldn’t possibly be because Dr. Hayden is a black woman, could it? 
Yes, that has been the Administration's perspective on DEI with others like the black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the female Chief of Naval Operations ... they only were in those positions because of DEI ... not their qualifications
They don't. They think they can trick others into thinking it.
Yeah but why is there not ONE journalist in that room who would tell her how idiotic is her answer? The lack of courage is pathetic and they are all also falling us.
the only ones left in that room are the toadies.
They know better. The librarian just happens to be a POC.
That’s just their standard response …
Apparently, they do. Every day is more embarrassing than the previous day. An astonishing accomplishment. 🥵
Starting a countdown until this administration orders the purge of "offending" books from the Library of Congress.
Someone needs to punch this bitch right directly in the face!
Reporters need to start correcting lies and stupidity like this.
They’re gutless wonders.
if reporters stay dumb the MAGA will stay dumber !!!!
If they do, they get kicked out or no longer able to ask questions.
What’s the point in asking questions if you’re only allowed softball questions the government likes?
That is what those administration wants.. the path to true dictatorship.
Indeed. They just ask why what and where? They know what’s going on. They should stop play stupid or impartial. You can’t be impartial with fascists …
The reporters allowed in these briefings are not there to do that, unfortunately.
They wont and why would they, it generates clicks and engagement seeing the stupidity. The white house already tried kicking out AP and news sources that were factual, they don’t give a flying fuck.
Exactly. If they point out the lies they lose their access to the circus
But they won't, that's how we have a criminal president.
Why do I feel like this is going to turn out to be a modern version of the end of the library of Alexandria?
That's why I'm trying to buy physical copies of as many books that piss them off as I can. When my great-niblings ask me what I did... I can take them into the secret library under the basement.
She sold her soul to the devil
ICE, she is a gang member.
Absolute garbage out of this lying sack of shit.
More lies!
She has no idea what the Library of Congress is …
Obvs lol
🙄
I’m surprised that cross hasn’t burned a hole in her chest. 🔥
I'm still waiting for it to spontaneously combust!
Doesn’t everyone remember that 6th grade field trip you took to the Library Of Congress and got to spend hours perusing the shelves of endless books? No?
LOL 😂
Haaaaaaaaaaa
Reporters have to call Leavitt a fraud live on air and boycott these nonsensical "briefings" by walking out. It would be more logical to carry the presser stream and fact check it in real time. Questions are useless if there's no media pushback or if reporters are cut off by this propaganda whore.
They don’t want to do that. They love the crazy answers. It’s all one big circle jerk. Real sensible answers are boring and don’t get clicks.
TIRED of the made up bs excuses. I hope she sues.
Oh pleeez !! You ignorant bimbo!
I’m assuming the next reporter asked a follow-up, right?!?!
I’d love to see reporters just keep asking the same question until she gives a real answer or storms off. In this instance, maybe start, “okay now, but really…”
Another example of the restriction of Free Speech.
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’d explode into flame like a vampire in a church.
I'd buy tickets to watch that!
Racist Lying Leavitt
And not 1 reporter offers clarity. So many missed opportunities to put egg on that idiots face.
Is this what she really said: “The Orang dictator is well within his rights to fire the librarian.” Another good reason not to visit the USA 🇺🇸
Lying c*nt.
Followup. What books?
Because you know kids are attending Drag Queen story hour at the Lubrary of f Congress. The inmates are running the asylum (formerly known as America).
WHAT AN EEJIT
She really thinks we will buy into her stupidity? Every book published has a copy placed there. It has nothing to do with DEI.
Enough of the country did so that the fascists are in power...
Books must be found to be of historical or cultural value before they are placed in the Library of Congress Not every book published qualifies They also add audio recordings & periodicals Nothing in there is checked out ever It's a research only library one must apply to use No kids get books
While much of what you write is correct, the Library of Congress is a repository library ⬇️
Google digitized every publication that was allowed
"That is deemed significant" Synonymous with what I said I appreciate you going out of your way to provide the evidence I was correct Fact remains that she lied like a rug
@blackbijewess.bsky.social isn’t that what you just said?
"Deemed significant" "Of historical or cultural value" That's exactly what I said. WW gonna WW
Actually, they used to require that 2 copies of ANY published material (books, periodicals, pamphlets) that wanted copyright HAD to be filed with the LoC! That changed when they made copyright automatic upon “creation in fixed form” They have everything from encyclopedias to comic books in there!😎
Where is congress?
She is pure evil
Fucking full of shit! 🙄
Leavitt continues the regime's war on reality.
More lies.
B.S.
Who decides if they’re “appropriate”? St. Trump?
FFS
I wonder when the last time she or her boss went to a library?
Here's where they start the book burning
Oh so she was just a good librarian classic
Except the LoC is not a public library. There is no children’s section. She is just a liar.
And nobody caught it. Damn
How dare the library that keeps copies of every book published in the United States keep copies of books published in the United States!!?
Best comeback ever! BRAVO!
I almost spit out my coffee when I read this! 😂
The only thing this woman has ever accomplished was find a rich man to get her pregnant and marry her.
in that order
Racist bitch
The only books this dipshit has ever read are the books her sugar daddies read after she had sex with them
Utter bullshit.
Like what?!!
Wait, does this also mean there won't be drag queen story hour this week? I'm no longer taking my kids to the library of Congress.
I wish someone would hold a sign up in front of that her that says: You are going to Hell for lying.
Too many words, butstill...
Oh lawdt in my Madea voice 🙄. Who would’ve thought this adm could be this f-ing stupid!
Many of us. MANY
Ugh........she is so......so........can't find the words.
Maga scum can’t read
She definitely doesn't know how to read that's for sure n
This bitch makes Huckabee-Sanders seem like a decent human. JFC.
Grrrrrrrr. As a librarian, long retired, I'd like to put this Leavitt person in the corner of the Library of Congress with a dunce's hat on. 🤮😠Little 💩 Sorry folks. 😢
💙
When they ban all the books, you might wish you paid more attention to the election results. Musk was not “hired” just to hop around on a stage at tRump’s empty rallies. Check out the @electiontruth.bsky.social #VerifyTheVote #election #TruthMatters #SecureTheMidterms youtu.be/S_6InoxGJoA?...
suuuuuuuure. just say she was fired because she was black-- it's horribly racist, but at least it's honest
Ms Leavitt clearly doesn't have a clue about what the Library of Congress actually is or does.
Racist Lying Leavitt
Nah, don't give them the out of ignorance. She knows she is lying about it, and every single 'journalist' in that room was either too incompetent or cowardly to do their jobs and point that out.
Yeah, that too.
OMG - the library of congress receives a copy of every single book that is published - there’s no selecting going on!!! Leavitt is as big as a liar (maybe bigger if you can believe that) than her felon boss.
BOOM! Yup.
Impossible.
Expect a fire there, y'all.
Racism oozes from Lying Leavitt.
and even if they were doing something like regular library book selection, it's absurd to think Hayden, as *head* of the library, has time to do something as mundane as selection. They're trying to make it seem like she works in a public library and selected "Gender Queer" for the juvenile section.
😡😡😡
And they have a lot of music compositions, often handwritten scores by American composers. It's not just books.
🤦🏻♂️ The Library of Congress is a repository. It collects every book copyrighted in the US. Authors who want to register their copyright submit a deposit copy. It is a statutory requirement. They don’t select what books they collect.
And from what I understand kids can’t just walk in and take out books lol
It's important to note that authors who pay the copyright fee send a book, which the LOC may or may not retain. Work is copyright when you write it. You don't need to register your copyright to protect your work. Get an LOC preassigned control number for paperbacks (free) before publication.
Exactly!!
I wish the reporter who asked the question would answer her with this just to see the look on her face.
You're talking about a time that has passed. It's now (Project) 2025 and in a fascist state such kind of rules do not apply.
There is selection criteria for the Library of Congress The point is that kids don't roll in & check out books that will harm them She's a lying sack of shit
Also, if I remember correctly, there are no open stacks. You fill out a call slip and the materials are brought to you.
People have to apply & provide credentials to use the library for research Then they can only access materials relevant to their research She's lying about kids being harmed by books the librarian chose Blatantly lying
Anyone 16 or older can get a reader card for the LoC and access most of the collections. Only certain collections/documents require credentials and a specific research reason. Mainly the rare/old items that require special care to maintain and handle.
so you agree she's a lying sack of shit. Children can't get books at the LoC
Absolutely. Nor does the head of the LoC decide what’s added to collections. It’s all lies from top to bottom. They fired her because she’s a Black woman.
Thanks. It's been about a decade since I did some research there. I vividly remember the day I got my adult library card -- the passport to wonder. The library was my refuge, moreso than any church.
there are open stacks in some of the reading rooms but you still have to have a reader card to get in there in the first place (and they're fairly limited so you usually need to fill out a call slip anyway)
My book is within library of Congress. Songs of Frost By Michael Collins Me. I was glad to write it and be fine with it. The other 6 in series oh hell no not publishing more. Cost to get 1 published $3,500 not even earned back $500 in 5 years. Publishing is a racket for rich. I is not rich. Not yet.
