President Biden is defending the lovable and iconic Big Bird after Republicans attacked the Sesame Street character for saying vaccines are safe.
Sen. Ted Cruz was outraged that Big Bird told children that vaccines are safe:

Big Bird has been telling kids about the safety of vaccines since the year Ted Cruz was born:
The idea might seem silly on its surface, but Republicans are attacking a beloved character of children’s educational television for a reason.
Ted Cruz and others are trying to make Big Bird a part of their culture war. Republicans have warped public health and safety into a cultural issue. The GOP is trying to make Big Bird a battlefield in their culture war, but Joe Biden has Big Bird’s back and isn’t about to let some craven anti-vaccine bullies smear a children’s character who is only being used to help keep kids safe from COVID.
The vast majority of Americans stand with Big Bird on the COVID vaccine.
