Republicans’ MAGA Rebrand of Beloved TV Icon Backfires Spectacularly

The GOP has been faced with their anti-Elmo history after trying to welcome him into the MAGA fold.

Republicans began warming up to Elmo Friday when he appeared in a FIFA World Cup video on X wearing a USA soccer jersey and declaring: “Elmo just wants to set the record straight... GO TEAM USA!”

In the video, Elmo squeaked: “Just to be clear, Elmo wants Team USA to win, okay? But Elmo loves everybody!”
