The Left Is Cancelling Dr Seuss

Yeah I thought about it being Yoda language at first, but to me it seems the person was not really saying that he is Sam. Sam-I-Am rather appears to be the person he is talking to. Kinda Sam-You-Are in Yodaish.

"I do not like them, I am Sam" would make little sense to me too.

Glad this important topic is finally on the table :)
