Everyone wants to ‘kill the Jews.’ It was a maniacal tenet of the Nazis and Hamas. Now, Sesame Street characters are getting in on this genocidal trend, but not really. The account for Elmo got hacked yesterday, and the posts went full Hitler. Control was quickly reacquired, and the offensive posts were deleted, but the Internet is forever.

It is exactly as you say, Tucker. They want to cancel Elmo but all Elmo do is criticize Zionism. Elmo wonders who really pulls strings and controls those who are in power. pic.twitter.com/xqRwXh8txK
