Elmo had a few things to say about that Ted Cruz coronavirus vaccine tweet in a hilarious “Late Show” skit. The United States Senator hit headlines this week after criticizing “Sesame Street” for promoting kids getting the vaccine on Twitter.

Elmo got the vaccine in a recently-released clip, which saw the puppet say he felt “a little pinch” when he got the shot. “I learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep himself, our friends, neighbours, and everyone else healthy and enjoying the things they love,” Elmo’s dad Louie said after admitting he had questions about kids getting the shot.

Cruz responded to the video: “The Late Show” then took a swipe at the politician in a clip, with Elmo saying in the skit: “Elmo is about to clap back!” READ MORE: ‘Saturday Night Live’ Mocks Joe Rogan And Ted Cruz In Political ‘Sesame Street’ Cold Open Sketch Big Bird warned, “Oh, this could get ugly!” before the duo belted out the “Ted Cruz Song” alongside Mr.
