BEYOND PARODY: Hakeem Jeffries Holds Up Elmo Doll on House Floor to Protest Cuts to PBS (VIDEO) |

BEYOND PARODY: Hakeem Jeffries Holds Up Elmo Doll on House Floor to Protest Cuts to PBS (VIDEO) |

With the Republican Party now advancing their agenda to reallocate taxpayer money away from public broadcasting entities like PBS and NPR, Democrats find themselves in a familiar position: outraged and, predictably, prone to theatrics.

In a rather peculiar display, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries brandished an Elmo doll on the House floor, seemingly attempting to make a significant statement. However, the gesture largely succeeded in making him appear rather foolish.

For years, we have been told that government funding constitutes only a minuscule portion of these organizations’ financial resources. So, one must wonder: why the uproar over these funding cuts? Surely, a handful of wealthy Hollywood elites can bridge the gap, right?

FOX News reports:

‘Killed off Elmo’: Jeffries brings along stuffed friend for stunt on House floor

Indeed, Elmo has a companion.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., showcased a plush Elmo during a Thursday session in the House of Representatives, accusing Republicans of targeting cherished children’s programming such as “Sesame Street” amid their efforts to cut federal spending.

“Today, we are on the floor of the House of Representatives debating legislation that targets Elmo. And Big Bird. And Daniel Tiger and ‘Sesame Street,’” Jeffries proclaimed, waving the puppet as he lambasted the GOP’s proposed rescissions package.

This moment quickly gained traction on social media, emphasizing the theatrical nature of the proceedings, particularly during discussions surrounding the Republican-backed bill aimed at eliminating over $9 billion in unspent or low-priority federal funds.

If Democrats aspire to be taken seriously in the political arena, they might want to reconsider their methods. This is hardly a path to credibility.
