During a heated congressional hearing, Democratic lawmakers used PBS characters like Arthur, Miss Piggy, and Elmo to mock Republican efforts to defund public broadcasting, arguing that public media is being unfairly targeted.
On Wednesday, the House DOGE Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), convened the hearing titled "Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the Heads of NPR and PBS Accountable," according to Fox News.
