On Sunday, Elmo's X account, which has over 640 thousand followers, shared several offensive posts filled with expletives and aggressively antisemitic remarks.

The most popular post had the muppet issue a challenge to the president.

"RELEASE THE FILES @realDonaldTrump CHILD F****R," the post read.

The challenge comes after the Department of Justice and the FBI released their final report on the case of infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which debunked theories that he was murdered or kept a "client list" featuring prominent public figures.

Though Trump has insisted it's time to move on from the subject, critics have argued his administration is trying to cover it up instead of providing full transparency on the case as he repeatedly promised while campaigning for president.

The posts were quickly deleted. In a statement to Fox News, a Sesame Workshop spokesperson confirmed the account had been "compromised today by an unknown hacker," adding they are "working to restore full control of the account."

The hack also comes as the MAGA Republicans lead efforts to cut public funding from the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the network that created Sesame Street, as they argue that the show pushes "far left ideology and propaganda" on children.
