NICE TRY

Hours after Sen. Ted Cruz railed against a children’s book on racism, sales went through the roof. Tuesday night, Antiracist Baby by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi was one of the top-selling children’s books on Amazon. That followed Cruz's dramatic presentation at Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s hearing earlier on Tuesday, where he berated her for supporting a private school where the book is read to students and demanded to know whether or not she believed babies are racist.

1. That made me giggle.

Thanks.

2. What makes me crazy

is sloppy journalism. When I saw the entire exchange I immediately picked up on Cruz showing and reading what the book said which by my recollection is "babies are taught to be racist" immediately following his question to Judge Jackson "do you agree that babies are born racist?".

This is what lying Repubs do under the guise of facts, except he pulled this one off right in public. The book does not teach or say "babies are born racist". Not to mention that the stmt read makes sense while we apparently are all to fine believing that a scholar would write "babies are born racist"---makes no sense at all.

3. So now repukes want to control private schools!
