A viral online video imagines lovable “Sesame Street” character Elmo getting fired because of budget cuts to PBS.
Elmo doesn’t take the news well, complaining that he’s worked at “Sesame Street” for 32 years.
He also wonders what’s going to happen to his medical insurance, given that he has a pre-existing condition.
Elmo isn’t the only “Sesame Street” character laid off in the scenario; Cookie Monster and Telly have also been let go.
President Trump’s proposed budget seeks to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps fund PBS.
