As you've undoubtedly seen, it's that time of year when politicians wish a blessed Ramadan to their constituents. As Twitchy reported, Rep. Sharice Davids copied and pasted her Ramadan Mubarak post, sending her best wishes to all of her Muslim neighbors in Nassau County … which doesn't exist in Kansas. A lot of time and care go into these things.
A lot of people noted that Ash Wednesday sort of flew under the radar in favor of Ramadan. Louisville, Kentucky, Mayor Craig Greenberg lit up the Big Four Bridge in honor of Ramadan.

We searched his timeline for "Ash Wednesday" and "Lent" but came up empty.
Great. When are we lighting it up for Ash Wednesday? You know, the kickoff to the holiest time of year for the largest religious population in Louisville? https://t.co/HyDwLZQy9y

What we want to know is, what's up with Elmo? The last time he popped up was to praise Bad Bunny's halftime show, which was far from family-friendly. Now, Elmo wishes a blessed Ramadan to all of his friends. Yes, we searched his timeline, too, and came up empty.
Ramadan Mubarak to all of Elmo's friends! Elmo loves you!🌙 ❤️

All of my children enjoyed Sesame Street. My grandchildren do not get to watch because of this crap.
Elmo, wait until your “friends” hear how much you love the LGBTQ community! Tickle me to death Elmo is gonna be a hot seller this Ramadan!

Did Elmo mention anything about Ash Wednesday?

If he did, our search didn't pull it up.
