THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

Then it got wild. A big donor who had invited Cecilia Abbott came up and berated me in front of a crowd for five minutes, even as virtually everyone else was so nice about it. The donor said she was pulling her donations to the festival. And that I was therefore hurting kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Last night I learned Cecilia Abbott, Texas’ anti-choice first lady and wife of anti-choice Gov. @GregAbbott_TX, was at my speech on @PersuadersBook at the Texas Book Festival. So I asked her to carry a message from the room to her husband: “Leave other women’s bodies alone.” https://t.co/wQSg4hh94A — PolitiTweet.org

I suggested that, since she was pulling her donations, she was the one deciding whether to hurt kids or not. But she insisted I was hurting kids by giving a political speech. She said one isn’t supposed to be political at galas and literacy events. I said I’m always political. — PolitiTweet.org
