Oh lord, the GOP, well, at least GOP wingnut Ted Crus, is actually going after Sesame Street’s Big Bird for … wait for it … getting the vaccine. Now, this is not the first time the folks in the GOP went after a kid’s show; they have cried fowl foul—no pun intended when Street tried to educate kids about race and racism, LGBTQ+ rights, AIDS and tons of other issues. And now Big Bird is in the crosshairs of one Rafael “Ted” Cruz because Big Bird’s official Twitter account—who knew?—announced he had gotten the Covid vaccine. It all started when stories were posted to social media about all the brave, and smarter than a lot of adults, 5-year-olds were being super-brave while they’re getting the vaccine, so Big Bird wanted to let those kids know that he also got his vaccine, and he didn’t even remember that he’d been getting vaccines since he was a little bird:  Of note: Sesame Street and Big Bird have been pro-vaccine and pro-immunization since the 1970s, and never once has the GOP said a word … until now. Seriously, Rafael “Ted” Cruz is pissy because a fictional bird in a beloved children’s show is trying to help kids stay safe with vaccines:
Is it just me, or does Rafael “Ted” Cruz want little kids to die? Or are his granny panties knotted up around the short hairs because President Biden thanked Big Bird for getting the shot?
I mean, not his own kids because I can almost guarantee that Rafael and the missus and his offspring are all vaccinated, he just doesn’t want children to be vaccinated because, what, they grow up to be Democrats. Asshat. |
