In reality, most book bans in the U.S. have come from a small number of conservative groups, and the bans mostly target books that discuss race or LGBTQ+ issues, including historic works like The Color Purple and The Diary of Anne Frank.Some reactions to Greenes posts pointed out that the president she supports so much, Donald Trump, has his own sexually explicit past that is inappropriate for children to read about. Others pointed out that Greene had extramarital affairs while married, showed sexually explicit pics several times in a congressional hearing, that Nazis burned sexually educational books and that the Biblea book beloved by conservative Christiansis sexually explicit and violent..@mtgreenee What a SICK comment! First, the claim that Democrats prioritize pornography in elementary schools, especially as a "top LGBTQ priority," is a baseless vile lie. There's zero evidence to support this outrageous accusation. Second, the use of terms like "pedophiles" Human (@4HumanUnity) August 22, 2024Literally none of that is true They're so desperate now that they're gonna lose. And listen to Marge about morality She only cheated openly on her husband multiple times And that's a fact. Mike (@MikeRunsMiles) August 22, 2024Weird take, especially when the vast majority of convicted pedophiles are republicans, and especially MAGA. And they are not drag queens (although many are closeted queens. Why yes, I am talking about Matt Schlapp!) tinkingbell (@tinkingbell1) August 22, 2024 pic.twitter.com/hcmptofml3 White Rabbit (@WhiteRabit300) August 22, 2024.@mtgreenee Theres something deeply wrong with you. You were best buddies with Matt Gaetz!Claiming that Democrats are placing "pornographic books" in elementary schools is a blatant lie. There's zero evidence of any school libraries stocking pornographic material, LGBTQ+ Human (@4HumanUnity) August 22, 2024This you? Not one, not two, but at least 3 times you subjected your colleagues to unwanted porn.That's sexual harrassment. They complained, yet they're obsessed with porn? You can't even lie very well. I guess the shared single MAGA brain cell skipped you tonight. pic.twitter.com/GygnRPnJHE Fookin Chookay (@slayergoddess69) August 22, 2024 pic.twitter.com/UMHtTULz5Y American Woman (@Liberal_Lady5) August 22, 2024Perhaps we can read to our children some of Mr. Drumpf's escapes w Porn Stars & partying w his buddy the late teenage sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Perhaps we can read to our children about his 3 marriages & his serial adultery? @bluestein @ajconwashington @romenewstribune Alias Smith Jones (@Choanoke258) August 22, 2024What is with the obsession of taking away a parents freedom to guide their childrens reading material. Have you read the entire Bible? Very sexually graphic in parts. Very violent in parts. Yet you seem ok with that book. Mind your own damn business. PattiGoke (@PattiGoke) August 22, 2024
