I just read about this today (on Twitter, of course), and I was shocked that anyone would pick a fight with Big Bird, of all people (creatures?). Good ol’ Ted Cruz. You can always count on him to do something repulsive.  |

He apparently felt that his name wasn’t in the press enough lately to pull a stupid stunt like this.

Maybe Texas will have another deep-freeze no-power day or two and Cruz can jet off to Cancun again. He's just jealous that birds can fly south for the winter without getting their hypocritical mugs in the news. |

Hating on PBS programming has been a fixation for a segment of the right for some time. Genuinely, I do not get it. I wish I could have gotten my kids into Sesame Street! (None of them liked it, and/but I'm pretty sure it's how I learned to read.)

Personally, I think Big Bird would do a much better job than Ted, the Looney Tune Cruz!

This was from yesterday.. CNN has been doing the Covid info shows with Dr Sanjay Gupta and Sesame Street since LAST year .. Kids DO get Covid!!! And it is not a new vaccine!!! Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and other right-wingers lashed out at "Big Bird" on Saturday after the Sesame Street character's Twitter account advocated getting vaccinated for COVID-19. *** Cruz responded by writing above Big Bird's tweet, "Government propaganda...for your 5 year old!"*** Steve Cortes, a Newsmax host, went a step further. This kind of propaganda is actually evil," Cortes wrote. "Your children are not statistically at risk, and should not be pressured into a brand new treatment. Do Not Comply!"Fox News' Lisa Marie Boothe accused Big Bird of "brainwashing children who are not at risk from COVID."www.rawstory.com/ted-cruz-2655514657/ |

Yes, he's an idiot. But also, like Trump, he posts this kind of stuff for attention. Anything to keep his name in the news.

They detest things done in the 'public' interest that are not 'for profit'. Why should there be a network of TV stations and programming done *GASP* NOT for profit!?!?!?!? All good things in the world, in their minds, are for-profit! |

Big bird has talked about his vaccinations since I was 7. Literally. For 49 years big bird has been getting various vaccinations and talking about it.
It’s not new news.🙄

It’s not new news.🙄 Probably because they didn’t have Sesame Street on in their houses. Maybe if they watched more Sesame Street when they or their children were young, they would be better able to read all the science behind the vaccines and not be so irrationally afraid of them. |

The seem to have missed a lot of other Sesame Street lessons like kindness, empathy & honesty. |

He needed to find something to deflect from the infrastructure plans going on…so he picked on a yellow bird.

I mean.... he's so fucking pathetic he had to pick on a children's character.
He's trying to cancel a muppet. Let's think about that for a minute. He's on the same level as a puppet. It's poetic as he is a trump puppet.

I saw this today and it made me laugh hysterically, which I needed after listening to all this lunacy.
