He will read Seuss here or there, he will read it anywhere.
House minority leader Kevin McCarthy changes the canceled warriors of culture with a candid reading of Dr. Seuss’ classic “Green Eggs and Ham” on Twitter.
“I still like Dr. Seuss, so I decided to read Green Eggs and Ham,” the California Republican said. wrote Friday night, urging viewers to “RT if you still like it!”
The message was accompanied by a five-minute video with McCarthy solemnly presenting the much-loved book and its shaky story of Sam-I-am and his inapplicable culinary creation.
A few days after the news, six of Seuss’s best-selling children’s books will no longer be published due to alleged racism in their pages.
The sales of the six books – “If I ran to the zoo”, “And to think I saw her on Mulberry Street”, “McElligot’s Pool”, “Beyond the zebra!”, “Super mixed eggs!” and “The Cat’s Quizzer” rose after the announcement, and online auction site eBay canceled sales of vintage copies after they began selling the piece for hundreds of dollars.
By Saturday morning, Seuss fans had offered McCarthy’s video 2.6 million views on Twitter – and nearly 10,000 redistributions.
