They wouldn't listen to him, and would call Mr. Rogers woke trash. The current Republican Party and its supporters are a hot mess.
Depending on how you define “modern” Fox News did call him evil in 2007.

There is also that whacko on Newsmax that calls
the MuppetsSesame Street a bunch of evil communists.This is him when he was on Fox but he has ranted about wanting to debate that well known commie Big Bird a couple times while on Newsmax.

To be clear: this man wants to debate a fictional character on a beloved children's TV show and Fox and Newsmax continued to employ him.
Haha, what even is this timeline?
I need The Muppet-churian Candidate...... Oooh and Dr. Strangemuppet!
I did not know about this one.
How far gone does one have to be that saying this on TV is not only okay, but encouraged?
I forgot about this.
