(I find it amazing how often republicans take issue with Sesame Street characters.)

Sesame Street released a public service ad on Tuesday of Elmo talking about getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was not a fan.

The video shows the beloved children's Muppet chatting with his father, Louie, after receiving the vaccine, saying he felt a "little pinch," but that it was "OK." After wondering himself about Elmo getting the COVID-19 shot, Louie said he talked to their pediatrician so he could "make the right choice."
