Several days ago in an attempt to quash the free speech of former government officials who have criticized him, President Trump rescinded the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan.
Now he has
taken further action against Director Brennan.
“Due to his irresponsible and erratic statements about the president’s policies, “White
House Spokeswoman Sandra Huckabee Sanders said at her daily press briefing
today," President Trump is today revoking Director Brennan’s library card.
"Effective immediately, Mr. Brennan will be barred from taking out books, periodicals, and/or videos from the library system local to him, the Herschel Garfunkel Public Library. The President is taking this action because Mr. Brennan has wantonly attacked the leadership of President Trump through the use of facts."
"Curtailing access to the library," she added, "will severely limit his ability to obtain these facts.”

Director Brennan
has already struck back through Twitter.
“This
heinous politically motivated act of the president will not stop me from obtaining facts,”
Brennan tweeted today. “I can still spend a pleasant afternoon in the Herschel Garfunkel Public Library reading at my leisure and
even enjoying a coke and a Snickers from the vending machines in the reading room."
"And if I really want to take a book out, I’ll ask my wife to take it out on her card," Director Brennan added in a follow-up tweet.
"And should it be a long book over 300 pages on more, I’ll renew it ... yes, Mr. President! … also on her card!”
