<p>"It's such bad faith behavior from an already bad faith party," MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan said Sunday. "Key fact, [there are] six books being withdrawn for racist anti-Chinese and anti-African imagery from the past -- not 'Green Eggs and Ham.' What's so fascinating is Fox News and Republicans have been obsessing about this for a week now while many Americans are hurting needing a COVID relief bill and they aren't even upset about it."</p><p>"They won't talk about what's in the books being withdrawn because they know it's indefensible and racist," Hasan added. "I'll make a challenge right here on your show. Kevin McCarthy… read from the books that are actually being withdrawn. Hold those books up, defend those images, I dare you."</p><p>While Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas <a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1368021368344895495" target="_blank">described</a> McCarthy's reading of "Green Eggs and Ham" as "inspired leadership," the stunt <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kevin-mccarthy-dr-seuss-reading_n_60433b1cc5b6429d083388e8" target="_blank">provoked widespread mockery</a>.</p><p>Watch video below:</p><p><br/></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">
