Twitter erupts in mockery as CPAC disinvites Big Bird and his pals
NATALIE DICKINSON



Few conservative meltdowns in recent history so perfectly encapsulate the inanity and absurdity of the modern GOP as the crusade against Big Bird. The beloved avian mascot for the children’s educational program Sesame Street ignited the ire of the right-wing media sphere when the character announced that he had been “vaccinated” in an effort to promote lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines.

Republicans pounced on the message, decrying it as “propaganda” and an attempt at “brainwashing children.” Some slammed Big Bird as a “f*cking puppet” and a “communist.” One right-wing preacher went so far as to call it “demonic.”

These are obviously not the opinions of people that we should take seriously but they do showcase the degree to which anti-vaxxer sentiment has infiltrated a Republican Party increasingly dominated by conspiracy theorists.

Add your name to demand Trump be forced to testify for January 6th committee!!

Seemingly oblivious to how ridiculous the Big Bird drama makes them look to normal people, the people behind the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) blasted out a tweet today decrying “Big Bird & Big. Gov Mandates” along with an image promising that Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie are “NOT INVITED” to CPAC 2022.

The embarrassing tweet is perhaps not surprising since ...
