@pbsnews: Democrats are outraged after President Donald Trump abruptly fired the Librarian of Congress Friday. Carla Hayden was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2016. Her 10-year term would have expired next year. She was the first woman and first African American to serve in the role. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called her firing unjust, saying it's part of Trump's "ongoing effort to ban books, whitewash American history, and turn back the clock." The Library of Congress holds a huge collection of rare books and historical artifacts. The Trump administration has not yet announced a replacement. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #carlahayden #news #libraryofcongres #trumpadministration #librarianofcongress #books #historicalartifacts
Not only did they fire her, but the White House is slandering her by claiming she was "passing out inappropriate books to children". LOC is a research library, not an elementary school library.

It’s terrifying that the GOP gets to replace the librarian of Congress considering how much history they’ve already tried to erase. It’s corruption right in our faces.
