Republicans Push to Defund PBS After ‘Sesame Street’ Pride Month Post: ‘Grooming Children on American Taxpayers’ Dime’

PBS stands accused of “grooming” children after Sesame Street, one of the nonprofit TV network’s premier programs, shared a social media post hailing LGBTQ Pride Month that drew an immediate response from a group of Congressional Republicans.

The veteran children’s education and entertainment program went on social media to welcome the annual event built around an image of puppets holding hands, as Breitbart News reported.

On both X and Instagram, the Sesame Street pages shared a graphic of multi-colored puppets reaching out so that they resembled the colors of an LGBTQ Pride flag.

“On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy Pride Month,” they said.

Brooke Midgon of The Hill reports the Republican Study Committee (RSC), a coalition of GOP House members whose membership is not public, responded to the post with a meme of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and the words “I am once again asking PBS to stop grooming children.”

Other House and Senate Republicans added their voices to the chorus of displeasure.

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) accused PBS of “grooming” children with the post which she said “is evil and should infuriate every parent in America.”

Sesame Street’s Gordon Must Pay Up
Actor loses palimony case in NJ
10 Philadelphia. September 25, 2013.
For an actor on Sesame Street, the letter P is for palimony.

A judge in New Jersey has ordered Roscoe Orman, who plays Gordon on the children’s TV show, to continue paying palimony to the mother of his four children even though the unmarried former couple never agreed to anything in writing.

Elmo Puppeteer Kevin Clash Cleared of Sex Abuse Charges
The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a New York judge’s ruling from last summer, dismissing the case because of the statute of limitations.

By Patrick Brzeski
April 24, 2014.

Clash, 53, the voice of Sesame Street‘s Elmo for 28 years, was accused by multiple men of sexually abusing them over 10 years ago when they were minors. Multiple lawsuits were filed, but in July 2013, a New York judge said that the claims were made too late, as they were outside the state’s statute of limitations, which provides that a lawsuit has to be filed within six years of the event or three years after a plaintiff turns 21.

Question: What is worse than LGBTQI puppets grooming our children? Answer: REAL LGBTQI people grooming our children. Both are an abomination!

[InkStone]

Did we think that Shoving God OUT OF OUR CULTURE would be painless ??
ONLY thru revival of Faith in God, thru His Son, Jesus the Christ / Messiah, will save our nation.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Defund PBS.

[ronnie raygun]

If its so important let the .02 percent of one percent fund it.

[Rocco DiPippo]

Looking forward to the episode in which Ernie buggers Bert in a bath house while Elmo watches!

GODLESS REPROBATES - JUST LIKE DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI

That Old Serpent called the Devil and Satan
MUST sow Confusion and Delusion before he
deploys his Antichrist and False Prophet

Meanwhile, way back with Democrat Nancy Pelosi

Stop taking children to Gay Pride Parades,
DEMOCRAT Nancy Pelosi, you Godless Reprobate

A few years ago:



The SOUND DOCTRINE meme ESPECIALLY applies here

Friday, June 26, 2015 was a DARK and EVIL day when
this Godless Abomination was celebrated by the
Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama

THIS is the kind of Satanic Abomination done
before Almighty God that can destroy a nation

They simply WILL NOT be happy until the Entire World
is turned into a Zombie Version of Sodom and Gomorrah.

THEY WILL NOT REPENT. THEY WILL NOT STOP.
THEY DESPISE WHAT THE LORD GOD HATH SAID

There is not anything that is not made worse,
or more weird and bizarre or more confusing
than by the homosexual / transgender agendas

Satan's LGBTQ+ false prophet DEMOCRAT Barack Hussein Obama
has done the work of his true father, that Old Serpent (John 8:44) by
sowing confusion, Godless error, and outright lies

How many attend churches yet ARE STILL deceived by this man?

Godless Reprobate Democrats will ALWAYS protect the
homosexual agenda - it was a prized feature of their
Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama in 2015

THE AMERICANS DEMOCRATS ARE DETERMINED TO DO SATAN'S WILL

They ARE working for Satan - whether they understand it or not

This is EXACTLY the kind of anti-God confusion that the Enemy likes to sow - since the days of Genesis chapter 19]

[transgender controversy]

The Democrats MUST have a direct line to
that Old Serpent called the Devil and Satan

Satan used false prophet Barack Hussein Obama to sow even more confusion upon the world
- and Obama turned the White House into an homosexual abomination before Almighty God.

Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama
is an EXCELLENT false prophet for that Old Serpent, called the Devil and Satan.

And the world just continues to fulfill Bible Prophecy - as expected

All according to Satan's plan.

Friday, June 26, 2015 was the Rainbow White House



The Days of Lot are upon the world - just as prophesied

And Sudden Destruction is prophesied for the Days of Lot

Even thus shall it be
in the Day when the
Son of Man is revealed...

Defunding Sesame Street should not be contingent on anything.

Providing children's television is not legitimate function of government.

Did they finally out Bert and Ernie, and give Elmo gender-affirming treatment?

Give Sesame Street to MSNBC. The show will get more viewers than Maddow ever did.

[AppyPappy]

This is not the reason

[Flag_This]

”Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are.”

Even White, conservative, “cis-gender” ones?

[Flag_This]

”Give Sesame Street to MSNBC. The show will get more viewers than Maddow ever did.”

But she already hosts a puppet show…

Multiple lawsuits were filed, but in July 2013, a New York judge said that the claims were made too late, as they were outside the state’s statute of limitations, which provides that a lawsuit has to be filed within six years of the event or three years after a plaintiff turns 21.

Its New York? Maybe they can refile seeing that the court decided statute of limitations isn’t important anymore.

Nickelodeon shows now have “Free Palestine” spots on my Direct TV. Like five second inserts into various times during the shows. Astonishing! Paramount now owns the programming I think.

[Democrat = party of treason]

Yep, PBS needs to go...
