Oscar the Grouch Cuts Ties with Ted Cruz
SESAME STREET (The Borowitz Report)—Ted Cruz’s unprovoked attack on Big Bird has cost the Republican senator the support of a longtime backer, Oscar the Grouch.
In a rare press conference at his trash can, Oscar said that he had supported Cruz’s political career for years “to show solidarity with a fellow-monster.”
For Oscar, however, the dustup with the popular avian character raised concerns about further association with Cruz: “He could hurt my brand.”
“Don’t get me wrong—I can’t stand Big Bird,” he said. “His relentless sunniness, to me, is intolerable. But that’s no excuse for Ted Cruz to go off like an asshat.”

Ted Cruz has burned a major bridge. How are the RNC going to find another caterer.
And you know Slimy won't do any of the entertainment now.
Next Republican National Convention is ruined!
