Hayden's firing comes as President Trump has been purging federal officials deemed to have gone against his agenda
Democratic leaders erupted late Thursday after it was reported that President Trump had abruptly fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden.
Hayden was notified of her firing in an email late Thursday from the White House's Presidential Personnel Office, according to an email seen by The Associated Press.
"Carla," the email reportedly began. "On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service."
Nominated by former President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2016, Hayden, whose term was set to expire next year, was the first woman and the first African American in the role. Advocates praised her tenure for helping to modernize the Library and make it more accessible with initiatives in rural communities and online.

BREAKING: Perpetually Outraged liberals are ... Outraged. News at 11
I see libraries under the influence of the reprobate American Library Association packed with child’s grooming books, occultic young adult trash, drag queen story hour, porn on computers, garbage Hollywood DVDs, Marxist indoctrination, antichristian, feminist propaganda. The pride in sin flag flies inside and out, and LGBTQIABCDEFG events are formally celebrated. . Pink haired tattooed nose ring staff ensure you can’t see what your own children consume there. Our county libraries come from the pit of hell and we’re forced to pay for it.
"Carla, On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service."
Short, sweet, to the point.
"President Trump Abruptly Fires Obama-Appointed Librarian of Congress Who Pushed ‘Sexual Identity’ on Children"
She deserved it.
YAY!!!
Report is she helped push sexual perversions on children...I do not care how she was fired.
“was the first woman and the first African American in the role.”
The definition of DEI.
I experienced the same thing from our small town library. I donated some great research books on history in perfect condition except for dust cover tears, which I felt people might want to read. One was a complete listing and history of every warship sunk in WW II.
Four days later, I am going into the Salvation Army store, 40 miles away, and out walks a man with MY TWO BOOKS he had just purchased there. I recognized them by every tear in the dust cover as what I had donated to my local library.
It appears our local library wanted “fluff” books not serious historical books. I proceeded to read my local librarian the RIOT ACT! and have never donated a book to them since.
I now donate books to a local library 40 miles away in another state. They are still there being used by the locals as I checked and was thanked by the librarians for them.
The truth well stated.
Then that would be firing for cause and should have been made part of the firing record. Depending on the specifics, it may or may not be appropriate to make that charge public. Given where the debate lies today, “pushing sexual perversions on children” probably means endorsement of the BLTQZ+/-&$!# agenda. All that would be needed is a straightforward statement in the firing record that the Trump administration is standing on the traditional understanding of gender differences, refuses to bend the knee to the woke fantasy construct, and is restaffing accordingly.
Let the left fume all it wants about that. This is a debate in which Trump is engaging across the board. The public generally understands the question, and majorities support Trump’s stance. Let any protests about the firing address that squarely. Don’t create the opportunity to make the strawman charge that she was fired because she was black or female.
Define the issue; don’t let the other side define the issue. The media is not on our side. If we let the left define the issue and set the narrative at the start, the media will run with it and the lie outdistances the truth. Conservatives get caught flat footed all the time on stuff like this. Get out first. Make our framing the baseline. This is issues management 101.
"Service" my ass.
She didn't get drafted and she was handsomely paid.
... and we all saw how that turned out.
the first woman and the first African American in the role
..........and we all saw how that turned out.
The Dewey Decimal System is racist?
Have you ever done it? Had it done to you? Been involved in a legal filing as a result of the firing? I’ve done all three. There absolutely is a “right way and a wrong way” . Sphinx laid it out pretty well.
“ Dewey Decimal System is racist”
According to anti-Americans, yes.
The biggest issue was The system also categorizes homosexual content under “mental derangements” and “abnormal psychology”
Our Liberalaraian retired and oassed the job on to her daughter. Who I knew well.
The daughter was SO liberal in a school meeting she openly said she wished “GANG TYPE” kids would move in so we could get more diversity.
I’m obviously telling the truth as I can’t even make shit up like that.
“there is no reason to give the dems ammo by doing this carelessly and tactlessly”
Tell that to the J6 families.
Your post is disgusting.
The libraries in towns and cities need to be defunded and eliminated.
That is hard for me a lifelong reader easily going through 150 to 200 books per year
However libraries are leftist cesspools and the obvious easiest place to defend leftism on a local level.
Hardly anyone uses them and one can argue that the internet has replaced them.
You should rethink that. I’m talking about going on the offensive and staying on the offensive. To do that, you prepare the battlefield, establish the narrative, and slam the democrats when they raise red herrings. The way to do that is to get out first.
The news media works for the dems. This is ALWAYS an asymmetrical fight. If we don’t want to be forever reacting to democrat false charges, we need to get our stuff on the record first, be sure it’s accurate, and stick to the story.
A high profile firing without any given reason or explanation simply invites the dems to manufacture their false allegations and insert them into a blank public record. This isn’t hard to understand. Give a reason.
The librarian was a black anti white racist hater.
She deserves nothing.
The mass media deserves nothing.
They deserve no respect, no consideration, no toleration.
They are our enemies.
They should be treated like enemies.
Don’t even think about playing by their rules.
