We’re not on Sesame Street anymore…
On Wednesday, PBS CEO Paula Kerger and NPR CEO Katherine Maher appeared before the House Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee to answer questions about the media companies’ funding models and coverage.
Peach State Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who chairs the committee, has been a vocal critic of both PBS and NPR during her time on the Hill.
MTG unloaded on PBS for airing content involving a drag queen called Lil Miss Hot Mess and has shared shocking clips on her social media channels.
“This is the type of programming your tax dollars are funding on PBS. They are targeting children ages 3-8 with this propaganda. IT’S HORRIFYING!!” MTG posted on X Wednesday morning.

During the hearing, MTG unloaded on PBS, saying, “If I walked in my living room and seen this child predator, this monster targeting my children, I would become unglued.”

MTG foreshadowed her rage in a pre-hearing interview Tuesday night.
“I’m looking forward to holding the hearing tomorrow at 10 a.m. where we will be shining an intense spotlight on how Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars have been used by PBS and NPR, and the type of public broadcasting programs and radio shows they have been pushing across the country for decades,” Greene said.
She continued: “It has leaned further and further left, so much so that they now have Drag Queen Story Time instead of good old Sesame Street. They are now part of transing children, brainwashing children about gender, which proved to be one of the most important issues in the 2024 presidential election. That was a big loser for Democrats.”
