Sen. Ted Cruz goes after Elmo on Twitter

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas took aim at Sesame Street's "Elmo" after the popular children's show puppet promoted COVID-19 vaccines for children on Twitter.

A minute-long clip posted on the show's Twitter page showed Elmo speaking with his loving TV puppet dad, Louie, about feeling "a little pinch" when got a shot. Louie then says he had questions about Elmo getting the vaccine, which he took to Elmo's pediatrician.

"I learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep himself, our friends, neighbors, and everyone else healthy and enjoying the things they love," Louie said.

But the puppet's message didn't sit well with the junior senator from Texas.

2. What is this GOP obsession with cartoons and children's toys?

First there were the Smurfs (they're Communists); then the Teletubbies (the purple one has a handbag so must be gay) then the Potato Head toys (they took away their genders!), Big Bird (brainwashing children, and anyhow it's PBS), obscure Dr. Seuss characters (they were canceled!), and now a subversive Muppet who thinks it's a good idea to get vaccinated against a serious illness! The horror!
