This is FAKE. Oh it SOUNDS real, until you get to words that the real Rachel Maddow would NEVER have mispronounced, like 'Chile' and 'hyperbole. I don't think the meeting referred to in the piece happened at all. WE'RE BEING PLAYED. The site is fake too, just popped up earlier this month.

They’re books y’all. They don’t bite and they stay on the shelves if you don’t want them. Parents that wouldn’t allow their kids to read a LGBT book are most likely overbearing anyway and will know whatever their kids is doing anyway including what they read. Never stop learning.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
