"Nevertheless, in a statement posted to X on Monday, Eigel did say he would burn “woke” books brought into Missouri schools “on the front lawn of the governor’s mansion.”"
So this sitting GOP state senator seen in a video not burning books but burning boxes would like to burn books for real. How is that any better?
Viral video shows flamethrower-wielding Missouri state senators burning empty boxes, not books
CLAIM: A video shows Missouri Republican state Sens. Bill Eigel and Nick Schroer using a flamethrower for a “literal book burning.”
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The video shows the two lawmakers burning empty cardboard boxes, not books, according to both politicians. It was taken on Friday at a fundraiser hosted by a local GOP group where flamethrowers were being auctioned. Eigel and Schroer were demonstrating the devices on the boxes, the event’s organizer confirmed.
