As the Senate ramped up its vote-a-rama and battled — to eventually pass — President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion pandemic aid plan, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Friday released a five-minute video of himself reading a Dr. Seuss book in an apparent attempt at outrage over cancel culture.
On one hand we have leaders of one party trying to address a pandemic and economic crisis, infrastructure, voting rights, all while still trying to get President Biden’s cabinet in place.
On the other hand, Dr Seuss.
Anyway, we’ll have to leave it at that. Tune in Sunday so we can hear more about what “the other hand” has to say about this, and a caravan of something something.
It might be even better if Kevin McCarthy, while on the people’s dime, got off his ass and did some constructive work for the benefit of the American People instead of reading children’s books.
But then, maybe this is the limit of Kevin’s capability.
GOP lawmakers and conservative media networks have since directed their ire at Democrats, suggesting that their congressional counterparts were to blame for the private company’s move to halt publication of some of its books.
Well, geez, you’d think Democrats had banned Lolita or something, considering all the fuss.
I know. Perhaps we should tell Republicans if they want to tell a private company what they can and can’t print, perhaps we can dictate that to Fox News as well?
O o - but they are doing it all over. Greg Abbott yesterday said he wants a law in Texas making it illegal for Facebook and Twitter and all social media to censor conservatives.
