One Response to “Becky Albertalli”

1. EQuint: 4 years ago

   British propaganda “author” Becky Albertalli is one of a recent trend of several “newcomer” British “authors” along with Casey McQuiston who spend all their time sneaking around the world pretending they are American citizens to any sucker who’ll listen, Albertalli now claiming to be from Georgia because it couldn’t seem to make up its mind what part of the map was what, to try to attack America and American Children with its British gay depopulation and disarmament agenda. This is another gay British propaganda fiction attack against America, American Children and The American Government by the gay loser British enemies of America like Albertalli and McQuiston. The American response against Albertalli, as with McQuiston, will be quite sudden and quite final.
