Actor and former host of literacy-themed children’s television show Reading Rainbow LeVar Burton did not mince words when he spoke out on the wave of book bans that has swept across red states in recent months.

Appearing on The View last Thursday, Burton candidly called the bans of books that discuss race, sexuality and gender “bullsh*t,” leading to a conservative uproar over his supposed “blunder.”

So Burton immediately spoke out to clarify there was no “blunder,” doubling down on his words on The View with a perfect tweet.
