  • Thankfully, Rep. Robert Garcia took her to task by using satire to make some points of his own. The gay California Democrat adopted the MAGA cult's McCarthy-esque rhetoric with some sardonic questions for PBS CEO Paula Kerger.

Representative Robert Garcia, a Democrat from California, humorously criticized the Republican Party during a House Oversight Committee hearing by questioning if they believe that Bert and Ernie from "Sesame Street" are part of an "extreme homosexual agenda." This comment was in response to GOP members' concerns about the inclusion of certain content in children's programming.

His remarks were part of a broader discussion on the influence of media on children and the political motivations behind content regulation.
