funding
the White House asked Sesame Street characters to appear at its annual Easter Egg Roll just four days after President Donald Trumps administration proposed ending all funding for PBS and the Sesame Street program.
PBS confirmed to The New York Times that the White House made a last-minute request for Sesame Street characters like Big Bird or Elmo to appear at this years event.
We just got word about this years Egg Roll and are working on planning, PBS spokesperson Jennifer Rankin Byrne explained to the paper on March 20.
Sesame Workshop spokesperson Elizabeth Weinreb Fishman revealed that one costumed character would be appearing at the event, a departure from the multitude of Muppets that have showed up for the roll in recent years.
