‘The Fonz’ suggests books are being banned, gets roasted by X

Actor Henry Winkler who famously played Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli in the classic 1970s sitcom “Happy Days” was shut down by X users when he suggested that books are being banned in America.

In a Black Friday post to X that led to him being roasted like a Thanksgiving turkey, “The Fonz” tried to run the scam that Republicans are cracking down on what type of reading is permissible, another variation on the Nazi hoax that Democrats have flogged to death in recent years.

“Books Are NOT our enemy,” wrote the 79-year-old Winkler, in a post that he may have instantly regretted.

The reality is that no one is “banning” books, a big lie that Democrats and their media mouthpieces spawned as a reaction to some states like Florida passing laws to remove inappropriate, perverted, and racist material from school libraries where graphic homosexual smut has been made available to young children.

While the “banned” books may no longer be easily accessed by impressionable kids, they are widely available in bookstores and through online retail websites like Amazon.

Nearly five decades after his character “jumped the shark” in an episode that would signal the end of “Happy Days” as well as spawning the enduring and unflattering idiom that has become a part of American culture, Winkler was ridiculed for his ridiculous post.

Even though he’s never had another role as popular as “The Fonz” was, Winkler has had a long career in movies and television and has won multiple awards, including primetime and daytime Emmy’s, Golden Globes, and People’s Choice awards.
