WASHINGTON — With a little green bandaid on his furry red arm, Elmo, the beloved 3 1/2-half-year-old Muppet on the long-running children’s PBS program Sesame Street, said “there was a little pinch, but it was okay” when he received his coronavirus vaccine this week.
Sen. Ted Cruz quickly pushed back.
On Twitter, where Sesame Street shared a clip Tuesday of Elmo and his Muppet dad Louie discussing their decision to have Elmo get vaccinated, Cruz laid into the show, which has been encouraging youngsters to get vaccinated for decades.
