Citrus County Florida Commissioners voted to terminate their $2700 digital subscriptions to the New York Times for the 70,000 library-card holders who reside in the county.
“Do we really need to subscribe to the New York Times?” one commissioner asked during the meeting.
“Why the heck would we spend money on something like that?” asked another.
Commissioner Scott Carnahan even agree with Trump and repeated Trump’s disgusting rhetoric:
Fake news, I agree with President Trump,” Carnahan said. “I don’t want the New York Times in this county. I don’t agree with it, I don’t like ’em, it’s fake news and I’m voting no. They can take that money and do something else with it … I support Donald Trump.”
