A tweet by Vice President Kamala Harris praising Dr. Seuss four years ago resurfaced Tuesday, after President Biden failed to mention the children’s author when making his “Read Across America Day” proclamation.
Richard Grenell, former acting director of national intelligence under former President Trump, retweeted the post that said: “Happy birthday, #DrSeuss! ‘The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.’”
Harris’ tweet was written on March 2, 2017, Dr. Seuss’ birthday and the day chosen to honor his legacy and promote literacy.
