‘SNL’ cold open shows Ted Cruz revamping 'Sesame Street’ to shield kids from 'woke' culture
Fox News
"Saturday Night Live" in its cold open this weekend tackled Sen. Ted Cruz’s criticism of Big Bird for encouraging kids to get the coronavirus vaccine on Twitter after the Sesame Street characters participated in an informational town hall.
Bryant's Cruz said he had stood idly by for years while "Sesame Street" taught kids "dangerous ideas like numbers and kindness. But when Big Bird told kids to get vaccinated against a deadly disease I said, ‘Enough!’"
He described "Cruz Street" as a gated community where kids would be safe from the "woke" government. And to the tune of the "Sesame Street" theme song, Cruz and a group of kids sang that they would "sweep the libs away" and "grab an eagle and a gun" and "bring the gun to Cruz Street."
