Lori Lightfoot tweeting pic of herself reading ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ in Texas claiming she’ll ‘read any damn book she wants’ ACCIDENTALLY hilarious

So … Ummm … who wants to tell Lori Lightfoot that since she’s IN Texas yes, yes she can read any damn book she wants to? We get what she was trying to do here, supporting the ridiculous agenda from her pals on the Left (predominately teacher’s unions) claiming evil white racist parents are ‘banning books’ but this doesn’t work for MANY reasons.

First, and foremost, parents being concerned about books that may have adult themes in them being in their children’s public school library is not ‘banning books. Second, she chose to read ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ in her photo-op, the same book Democrats in California have tried to ‘ban’. And third, her own city has ‘banned’ six Dr. Seuss books.

But hey, when your enemy is making a mistake, let them.

Or something.

The irony is lost on some of these sanctimonious liberals.

Why is she in Texas? She should be walking the streets of Chicago, at least attempting to deal with some very serious problems her city has.

Why would someone want to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird?”

What kind of nation do we have when a fat little toad like this can be a mayor of a major city?

Maybe she came to see how Houston is managing to surpass Chicago in murders.

Even Al Capone found it necessary to get the heck out of Chicago for a bit.

Of course the book banners can read “any damn book they like.” That’s kind of not the point.

I have read that it is because - to paraphrase - a powerful, privileged, white attorney defends a helpless, discriminated-against black defendant. Obvious racism. /s

I believe she’s telling the truth.

She can read any damn book she wants.

And YOU can read any damn book SHE want too...!

She can read what she wants. But where in the world did she find an Ebonics translation of To Kill a Mockingbird?
