These Are Not Serious People — Congressman Embarrasses Himself With Sesame Street Stunt
Democrats are not serious people.
It’s almost like they never learned how to function as actual adults.
Here’s the latest…
While melting down over President Trump’s desire to defund PBS, Rep. Robert Garcia pulled a stunt asking ridiculous questions to President and Chief Executive Officer of PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) Paula Kerger about various Sesame Street characters:
Is Elmo a communist?
Is Cookie Monster bad for your health?
Is Big Bird good because he helped push the COVID vaxx?
And then the big one….are Bert and Ernie gay?
These are not serious people….
Watch here:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Speaker: The American people want to know—
Is Elmo now, or has he ever been, a member of the Communist Party of the United States?
A yes or no.
Ms. Kerger: No.
Speaker: Now, are you sure, Ms. Kerger? Because he’s obviously red.
Ms. Kerger: Well, he is a puppet, but no.
Speaker: Now, that’s not all.
He also has a very dangerous message about sharing and helping each other. He’s indoctrinating our kids that “sharing is caring.”
Now, maybe he’s part of a major socialist movement, and maybe that’s why the chairwoman is having this hearing today.
But let’s talk about somebody else.
Let’s talk about Cookie Monster.
Now, we know that Health Secretary RFK Jr. is coming out against fast food and baked goods.
Are we silencing pro-cookie voters? Yes or no, Ms. Kerger?
Ms. Kerger: But cookies are a sometime food.
Speaker: Well, thank you.
Now, I agree with you.
And let’s also talk about the most important—maybe—character on Sesame Street.
This is actually Big Bird.
Now, Ms. Kerger, since Elon Musk actually fired USDA workers who have been working on the bird flu, does it make sense to also fire Big Bird?
Yes or no?
Ms. Kerger: We would like to keep Big Bird.
Speaker: I completely agree with you.
And now—it gets even worse.
Now, this is actually a tweet that Big Bird sent out about the COVID-19 vaccine, encouraging folks to actually get their vaccination.
Which, of course, we believe in vaccines.
Now, perhaps the reason why we’re having this hearing is because our chairwoman, Miss Greene, has actually said some really negative things about getting vaccinations.
And that, perhaps, is why we are here.
And so, we support Big Bird being pro-vaccine and promoting vaccines across this country.
Now, I will admit though—the extreme liberal agenda that you’re all pushing—I think it doesn’t stop there.
This, of course, is Bert and Ernie.
Now, these two guys actually live together.
They’re friends.
They’re supportive of each other.
Now, that might be triggering to our chairwoman and someone in this committee, and perhaps that’s also why we’re here today.
Ms. Kerger, an important question—
Are Bert and Ernie part of an extreme homosexual agenda?
Ms. Kerger: No.
Speaker: Thank you, Ms. Kerger. And thank you for being a good sport.
Now, I’m obviously using some humor here, but the fact that we’re sitting here today talking about defunding public television is actually not funny.
At a time where we can’t agree on basic facts, and while the free press is under attack, we need public media like PBS and NPR more than ever.
A large majority of Americans say they trust PBS.
And that’s exactly why extremists are trying to tear it down.
Public broadcasting is a tool for education, for emergencies, and a cherished part of our national fabric.
We get huge benefits from a tiny federal investment.
The majority and their chairwoman should drop this attempt to silence media voices they don’t like.
So, the message I think today is very, very simple—
If we’re going to get rid of any puppeteers, we should get rid of the one that’s actually controlling Donald Trump.
Fire Elon Musk and save Elmo.
And with that, I yield.

I don’t know why he stopped at Bert and Ernie being gay….
Can we please get to the bigger issue?
Why is Peppermint Patty a big old lesbian?
Can we please get some answers about that?
Why does she wear Birkenstocks and why does her best friend Marcie always calls her “Sir”?
Can someone please explain that?
Heck there’s even a Twitter profile for “Homosexual Peppermint Patty” and yes of course I am following it:
Was Peppermint Patty a he/him?
Is that why they always called her “Sir”?

I looked to Grok to get more info on these deep questions:
The idea that Peppermint Patty from the Peanuts comic strip might be a lesbian stems from a mix of her personality, appearance, and relationships, which some fans interpret through a modern lens. Created by Charles Schulz, Peppermint Patty debuted in 1966 as a tomboyish, athletic character who stood out from the more traditionally feminine girls like Lucy or Sally. She’s often depicted with short hair, wearing sandals and shorts, and excelling at sports—traits that, at the time, weren’t typically associated with female characters in comics. This unconventional portrayal has led some to speculate about her sexual orientation, especially as cultural views on gender and identity evolved.
Her close relationship with Marcie, her loyal sidekick who calls her “Sir,” also fuels the theory. Their dynamic—Peppermint Patty as the brash leader and Marcie as the quieter, devoted follower—has been read by some as having romantic undertones, particularly in hindsight. Schulz himself never explicitly confirmed or denied this, keeping the characters’ lives focused on childhood innocence rather than adult themes. In a 1992 interview, he said Peppermint Patty was simply a girl who “likes to do things her own way,” and he based her on women he knew, like his cousin Patricia.
Still, the speculation persists because people love projecting onto characters. There’s no definitive evidence in the strip—Schulz kept it ambiguous, and Peanuts was never about romance for anyone, really. Peppermint Patty did have a crush on Charlie Brown, which complicates the lesbian label, though some argue it could suggest bisexuality or unrequited feelings tied to her outsider status. Ultimately, it’s a fan-driven idea, not a canonical truth, rooted in her defiance of gender norms and that iconic Marcie bond. What do you think—does she strike you as a character ahead of her time?
This is not what I wanted to cover today.
I’m trying to run a serious news outlet and people like Rep. Robert Garcia won’t let me.
Ok, since we clearly have no adults present from the Democrat party, allow me to boil this down with a serious take that perhaps even Democrats can understand….
We don’t want to fire Big Bird. Or Elmo.
We don’t want Bert and Ernie to be homeless, they can continue living together as two middle-aged guys.
Sesame Street is an iconic brand that will SURELY survive and thrive in the free market.
Heck, maybe the new Strategic Opportunity Fund needs to own it and collect royalties for the benefit of the American people?
Now THAT is an idea I like a lot!
The point, for the clueless Rep. Robert Garcia, is that taxpayers do not need to be funding and subsidizing this.
We don’t need to pay $21 million to have Sesame Street push a trans-agenda over in the Middle East….and we don’t need to fund it here onshore either.
Let all of PBS survive or die in the free market.
Same for “Voice of America”.
The Government can’t run jack crap, they don’t need to be running all of these media outlets.
Let the private sector or the Strategic Opportunity Fund, own and operate these assets.
And get them the hell off the taxpayer dole.
Is that simple enough for even someone like Rep. Robert Garcia to understand?
I am sympathetic though, it was clear this was a big day for him getting to play with his Sesame Street characters on those big billboards.
Just another day in the life of a Democrat…..
