The Republican Party are now fighting against "cancel culture" and President Joe Biden's agenda to get through the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
Montana joins Idaho, Florida, Texas and Mississippi in lifting the mask mandates imposed.
With the pandemic still killing 3,000 Americans a day, the Republican governors are upset that Biden said their decisions were considered neanderthalic.
The Republicans won't support the American Rescue Plan. The Republicans will not support the COVID-19 relief package but they'll certainly take the credit for the benefits it has. Trust me, you'll hear a Republican claim that they helped in saving American jobs and families.
Washed Up 45 is considering another run for president. Donald J. Trump is thinking about getting a Black running mate or a woman to counter Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Republicans are upset over transgender children playing in sports or going into restrooms. Mississippi governor Tate Reeves is supporting a Republican bill that would bar transgender children from playing sports.
They are upset over Hasbro taking the Mr. out of Mr. Potato Head.
Now they're upset that the Dr. Seuss Enterprises has decided to scrap six books from the catalog.
Republicans and conservative agitators are outraged over the decision and are now resorting to reading the famous books from Dr. Seuss to go against "cancel culture."
Six Dr. Seuss books — including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo" — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy said Tuesday.
"These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong," Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement that coincided with the late author and illustrator’s birthday.
"Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog represents and supports all communities and families," it said.
The other books affected are "McElligot’s Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!," "Scrambled Eggs Super!," and "The Cat’s Quizzer."
The decision to cease publication and sales of the books was made last year after months of discussion, the company told AP.
"Dr. Seuss Enterprises listened and took feedback from our audiences including teachers, academics and specialists in the field as part of our review process. We then worked with a panel of experts, including educators, to review our catalog of titles," it said.
Books by Dr. Seuss — who was born Theodor Seuss Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904 — have been translated into dozens of languages as well as in braille and are sold in more than 100 countries. He died in 1991.
He remains popular, earning an estimated $33 million before taxes in 2020, up from just $9.5 million five years ago, the company said. Forbes listed him No. 2 on its highest-paid dead celebrities of 2020, behind only the late pop star Michael Jackson.

| Dr. Seuss is a legendary author and illustrator. |
As adored as Dr. Seuss is by millions around the world for the positive values in many of his works, including environmentalism and tolerance, there has been increasing criticism in recent years over the way Blacks, Asians and others are drawn in some of his most beloved children’s books, as well as in his earlier advertising and propaganda illustrations.
The National Education Association, which founded Read Across America Day in 1998 and deliberately aligned it with Geisel’s birthday, has for several years deemphasized Seuss and encouraged a more diverse reading list for children.
School districts across the country have also moved away from Dr. Seuss, prompting Loudoun County, Virginia, schools just outside Washington, D.C., to douse rumors last month that they were banning the books entirely.
Republicans are seemingly upset that the books are canceled. So in protest they're reading "The Cat in The Hat," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "Green Eggs & Ham," and numerous other classics.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) reads aloud a Dr. Seuss' book.
So this is the Republican Party right now! Stuck on stupid!
Of course, of course!
