It is time.

I have long called for calling that we call #pos_tefanik what she is: a liar.

But we are past that. We are dealing with mental illness.

Example one: bomb threats of a library in her district (https://poststar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/library-that-planned-drag-queen-story-hour-receives-bomb-threat/article_32183674-e52c-11ed-af97-8b19c6b67c5a.html?utm_source=poststar.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletter-templates%2Fdaily-headlines&utm_medium=PostUp&lctg=3304598&tn_email_eh1=5ace3d13aed14d9df51ddb79f621455f9403ac48 )

For planning a Drag Show Story Hour, a library received bomb threat. Andwe can no longer pretend any bomb threat is anything but --> CREDITABLE!

When one thinks of libraries, several things: old men sleeping in overstuffed chairs, children story hour, a child checking out his or her first book (on the way to a lifetime of reading), many many other things and freedom of speech.

The book on how to build a bomb, could likely be in the stacks at Rockwell Falls Library. If not, through interlibrary loan. That is how free speech works. But violence or violent threats is not how it works.

Who deserves to be killed in a bomb blast because of the first amendment? No one.

It isn’t just that library receiving bomb threats, many schools in #pos_tefanik’s district have received them.

Yes, it is time to hold #pos_tefanik and the gop accountable for this vile behavior.

We don’t know the bomb threats come from fearpublicans... for sure.

BUT

We do know when there is a protest —→ it is republicans that show up.

Great story. I was in your class in Seymour, moved away in 8th grade but remember your name. I was a baseball guy, too small and skinny for football. Nice to see you’ve had a good writing career.
