I'm not seeing any reason for why she was fired. Hmmmmm I wonder what could it be?

I didn't realize the President chooses the Congress's librarian. I would have guessed Congress chooses their librarian.

" She was appointed in 2016 by President Barack Obama and sworn in on Sept. 14, 2016."
Of course he fired her, gotta make room for some Fox News person who wants to rewrite American history from a more Aryan perspective.

I don't either. Must be just the skin tone.

Gee, I wonder if the fact it's a black woman that Obama appointed has anything to do with it.

Good point but the Republicans in the HHouse are too cowardly to evwn bring it up.
