    What the actual… Saying that killing children is bad makes you an antisemite. Got it.

    Where does the guy who got on stage during a nationally televised event and did not one, but two Nazi salutes rank on this list?

    I hope she wins. Nothing says “Don’t take me seriously” like pointing at the modern iteration of Sesame Street and screaming “Jew Hater!”

      Not sure about the Sesame Street part. I swear I’ve seen images of her with Sesame Street characters.

        She’s got her own stable of stuffed animal Muppet knock-offs as part of the show. My toddler son is utterly hypnotized by it.

        I’m sure there’s been some kind of PBS / Ms Rachel crossover at some point. She’s also worked with Blippi and a few other notable bigger name YouTube kids show creators.

              That article just list different licensees and different types of uses for a license that have occurred. I remember when Elmo was so popular that he outshined the rest of Street.

              My generation was the emo Elmo parody.

                I mean, there was a toy back in the 90s that was aggressively over hyped. And as Children’s Television Workshop was privatized, turning children’s programming into a commodity was all that mattered. But Kermit went through the same cycle in the 70s/80s, then fell out of fashion.

          All I really know is she is super popular. I saw an adult dress up as her for Halloween.

    IIRC they do not reuse finalists, so since Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and a bunch of other people were already finalists in previous years they do not use them again.

        No clue, I don’t follow them on twitter and haven’t looked into it further than a tweet they put out explaining why Nick Fuentes wasn’t a finalist.

        But how many have a large enough platform to be noticed? My great grandfather might be more antisemitic but he know about 10 people still alive.
