The Daily Show gives 'No 1 book banner' wide room to make a fool of himself.

 

This took place earlier this month. I don't know how I missed it.

 

From Crooks and Liars:

The Daily Show's Michael Kosta . . .  interviewed the "No. 1 book banner" in Florida, the state where books are banned from public schools more than any other state in the U.S. Gee, thanks for that, Gov. DeSantis. He hit the Floridians' central issues, like banning Maya Angelou's 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.' Imagine banning Maya Angelou's book. Holy shit. 

 Kosta spoke with Bruce Friedman, a conservative activist who is responsible for that. He admitted that he has filed more than 900 objections to books so far. Kosta used expletives throughout the interview since Friedman is against profanity. 

The interview is hilarious and pathetic at the same time. "You're the Michael Jordan of book banning," Kosta said. "Well, in the last two years, I've challenged more than one book every calendar day," Friedman said.
