Transcript
As a Republican romance author in the very liberal dominated book industry, I will never give up my values for a seat at a table, whether that table is a bookstore or a publishing house or a book event. If my political beliefs aren't welcome, then I'm not interested in sitting at closed-minded tables. Political disagreement is not discrimination. I've been very open about the fact that I support ICE and I support the enforcement of our nation's immigration laws, and people on the left have tried to come after me saying that that's racist.

Watching this video of the republican author claiming she isn’t welcome to the table in a lot of book spaces…. Then continues to state she supports the current administration, ICE, and other corrupt government policies…. She also goes on to state that not all books and reading doesn’t have to be political…. WRONG! Literally flabbergasted watching this…. 😮💨👀 Not to mention most most banned books are banned from the Republican Party …. @Erica Choinka 📚 #readingispolitical #bannedbooks #booktokcontent #booktokdrama #democrats
