    And another reason to cut taxpayer funding to PBS and their production.

    New Low: CNN Uses Sesame Street's Elmo to Attack Trump's Travel Ban

    Proving once again that there is no place you will find a happier leftist than in that influential sweet spot between parent and child, proving once again that during a month of extraordinary lows, CNN will always find a new barrel bottom, in the wake of President Trump's 9-0 Supreme Court triumph, the leftwing cable news network decided to use popular Sesame Street puppet Elmo as a propaganda tool against President Trump's temporary travel ban.

    Popular “Sesame Street” character Elmo sympathized with refugee kids in an interview Monday with CNN, remarking that they are just like kids in America.

    Elmo was part of a panel including CNN reporter Clarissa Ward, Sherrie Westin from Sesame Workshop, and David Miliband from the International Rescue Committee.

    “Did you find that the Syrian little girls and little boys were a lot like your friends here in America?” Ward asked Elmo.

    “Yeah, they really were,” said the “Sesame Street” character. “It was very interesting because they like to play and learn just like Elmo and all of his friends at Sesame Street.”

    Naturally, things eventually turned into a direct attack against Trump and his temporary travel ban:

    Miliband also addressed the US Supreme Court's decision to uphold parts of Donald Trump's controversial travel ban and the President's stance on refugees.

    "It's worth saying, perhaps especially today, that this country, the US, receives very few refugees and there's a lot of fear and loathing being put out."

    The truth hurts...doesn't it? Of course, let's try to get children hating refugee children. Jesus, some people need a kick in the brain.

    Cheers,
