Jasmine Crockett Links National Security to a Children’s TV Show in Bizarre Rant
Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has once again left Americans scratching their heads. During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, she passionately defended using American taxpayer money to fund “Sesame Street” programs in Iraq. Yes, you read that correctly – Sesame Street in Iraq.
“[When] we start to talk about whether or not ‘Sesame Street’ or anything else that’s on NPR or PBS ends up in other places, this is so there is not this warped thought process about the western world or the United States. We’re talking about making sure that we don’t end up allowing people to be radicalized against us because they have a terrible vision of us because they maybe in a government that actually puts out bad, terrible propaganda about us,” Crockett said.
According to Crockett, these puppet shows are apparently keeping America safe by preventing “radicalization” against the United States. Big Bird and Elmo: the unsung heroes of national security!
The congresswoman’s comments came after the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in February 2025. Why? Because of wasteful spending – including funding “Sesame Workshop” and “Ahlan Simsim” (Arabic for “Welcome Sesame”) in Middle Eastern countries.
