President Trump fires librarian of the Congress Carla Hayden: NPR

Washington – President Donald Trump abruptly dismissed the librarian of the congress on Thursday, Carla Hayden when the White House continues to clean the federal government from those who oppose the president and his agenda.

On late Thursday, Hayden was notified in an e -mail by the President's Personnel of the White House, as can be seen from an e -mail by The Associated Press. Hayden was confirmed by the Senate in 2016 and was the first woman and the first African American to be the librarian of the congress.

“Carla”, the e -mail began. “In the name of President Donald J. Trump, I write to inform you that your position as a librarian of the congress will immediately end. Thank you for your service.” A spokesman for the congress library confirmed that the White House of Hayden said she was released.

Hayden, whose 10-year term was to run next year, had come from a conservative advocacy representative under the opposite reaction that swore to breastfeeding those who stood in the way of Trump's agenda. The group of the American Accountability Foundation accused them and other library leaders to promote children's books with “radicals” content and literary materials written by Trump opponents.

“The current #librarianofcongress Carla Hayden has woken up, anti-trump and promotes the transmission of children,” said AAF on his X-account on Thursday, just a few hours before shooting was released. “It's time to get you out and set a new man for the job!”

Everywhere in the government, Trump has beams out of frod, of whom he believes that it does not match his agenda, from the Ministry of Justice to the Pentagon and beyond. Sometimes the shots come after conservative voices that carry out civil servants for criticism.

Earlier on Thursday, the acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency was not approved the day after he had stated that he did not agree to the proposals to dismantle the organization. Trump has proposed that individual states, not the Fema, should take the lead to react to hurricanes, tornados and other crises.

In the Pentagon, more than half a dozen top general officers have been released since January, including the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General CQ Brown Jr., the only two women who served as four-star officers, as well as a disproportionate number of other high-ranking female officers.

The unexpected step on Thursday against Hayden was angry with the Democrats of the Congress, which initially revealed the discharge.

“Enough is enough,” said the democratic chairman of the Senate, Chuck Schumer from New York, the Hayden “a” pioneer, a scholar and an official of the highest order “.

Connecticut Rosa Delauro, the Supreme Democrat in the House Appropriations Committee, said that Hayden was “fired” by Trump and asked for an explanation of the government as to why it was rejected.

“Hayden spent her entire career to serve people – from children when reading reading to the protection of some of the most valuable treasures of our nation,” said Rep. Joseph Morelle from New York, the best democrat of the House Administration Committee, who monitors the library.

“She is an American heroine,” he said.

The congress library with its stately buildings compared to the US Capitol has a large collection of books and the history of the nation, which it provides it to the public and the legislator. It houses the newspapers of almost two dozen presidents and more than three dozen judges of the Supreme Court.

There are also collections of rare books, prints and photographs as well as music trudes and valuable artifacts – like a flute that President James Madison belongs, which the singer and rapper Lizzo played in a performance arranged by Hayden in 2022.

The democratic leaders praised Hayden, who was the long -time leader of the Baltimore library system, for a term that contributed to modernizing the library and making it more accessible to rural communities and online with initiatives.

The leader of the house minor, Hakeem Jeffries, DN.Y., applauded Hayden as “an experienced, fundamental and respected librarian of the congress”.

“Donald Trump's unjust decision to relieve Dr. Hayden in an e -mail sent by a random political hack is a shame and the youngest in his constant efforts to prohibit books, to ban American history Whitwash history and to turn back the clock,” said Jeffries.

“The library of the congress is the Volksbibliothek. It will be more responsible for this unprecedented attack on the American lifestyle earlier than later later than later later.

The Senator of New Mexico, Martin Heinrich, the top democrat in the Senate body, which monitors the financing for the library, said that the dismissal of which he said at 6:56 p.m. “brought his attack on the American libraries to a new level”.

“Dr. Hayden has dedicated her career to reading and pursuing knowledge for everyone,” he said.

Robert Newlen, the deputy librarian, said that he would act in a separate e -mail that was seen by the AP as the acting librarian of the congress “until further instructions”.

“I promise to keep everyone up to date,” he wrote to colleagues.

Hayden recently spoke about how libraries changed their own life and opened them for the world.

“Libraries are the great balance,” she posted on X last month during the National Library Week.

“And if you have a free public library in particular,” she said that it is an “Opportunity center for people who have all areas of life, and they give them the opportunity to make decisions about the information, entertainment and inspiration for you most.”
