House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy triggered rage from leftists late Friday by posting a video to Twitter of himself reading Dr. Seuss’s classic children’s book “Green Eggs and Ham” in protest of what many on the right see as a modern-day book burning.

The harmless stunt was motivated by multiple Dr. Seuss books not only being dropped by publishers over alleged racism but also being banned from being sold. Mainstream institutions are essentially acting like his books are a Schedule 1 drug.

“I still like Dr. Seuss, so I decided to read Green Eggs and Ham. RT if you still like him too!” McCarthy wrote as a caption to his tweet.

As of Saturday morning, the tweet boasted almost 20,000 likes but also nearly 18,000 stunningly angry, sometimes outright hateful comments.

His left-wing critics responded by arguing that, because other events of relevance are occurring at the moment — the coronavirus pandemic, for instance — McCarthy shouldn’t be drawing attention to contemporary book burning.

Observe (*Language warning):

Notice how they tried slamming the Republican lawmaker for his party’s opposition to the ostensible coronavirus relief bill being bandied about by Democrats.

Their logic — or the lack thereof — is that because Republicans oppose the bill, they don’t care about children. Never mind that it’s the left’s beloved teachers’ unions that critics say are hurting children by refusing to return to school and do their jobs.

The leftist bellyachers also drew attention to the Jan 6th. riot at the U.S. Capitol. The left remains fixated on the riot, as well as the alleged threat of domestic terrorism. It’s an “alleged” threat because all the fear-mongering has proved baseless thus far.

“Twice in the last six weeks, warnings were issued about imminent, grave threats to public safety posed by the same type of right-wing extremists who rioted at the Capitol on January 6. And both times, these warnings ushered in severe security measures only to prove utterly baseless,” journalist Glenn Greenwald noted in a SubStack post on Friday.

Yet as of Saturday, the Capitol still remained so militarized that an American might mistakenly think they’re living under a military junta versus in what is ostensibly the freest nation on Earth.

Of course, this doesn’t matter to leftists. Nor does contemporary book burning. It seems nothing matters to them more than raging against their Republican enemies.

Notice how the latter Twitter user had to bring race into it.

The only valid criticism the bellyachers had was that the specific book that McCarthy chose to read, “Green Eggs and Ham,” isn’t among those that have been banned.

However, in his defense, had he read one of the six Dr. Seuss books that have been banned — “If I Ran the Zoo,” “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!,” or “The Cat’s Quizzer” — he would have probably been suspended for “hate speech.”

But alas, sadly for them, McCarthy won’t be silenced today.
