Elmo has a friend, indeed.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., brought along a stuffed friend to help make a point on the House floor Thursday.

Jeffries held up a stuffed Elmo doll while accusing Republicans of targeting beloved children’s shows like “Sesame Street” in their push to slash federal spending.

“Today, we are on the floor of the House of Representatives debating legislation that targets Elmo. And Big Bird. And Daniel Tiger and ‘Sesame Street,'” Jeffries said, waving the puppet as he railed against the GOP-led rescissions package. More

  2. For over half a century Republican establishment could have responded the same way my brother did while still in grade school in the 1970’s and end this shit… if they weren’t in on it. He said he found the Democrat cries of “for the children” to be universally, particularly and obviously nakedly disingenuous, distasteful and exploitative.

  3. Well, it’s “for the children” in the sense that any pedophile uses any other bait, “for the children.”

    And yep, typical Demon, Sesame Street has been long canceled by PBS.

  4. The only response to the claim that this crap is needed to help the children is that the education scores have gone down repeatedly as this has been promoted.

  5. Once the political theater is played out…

    The bastard wouldn’t have made a more ridiculous spectacle of himself if he had showed up wearing a rubber nose and pair of big red shoes.
