Comedian Ramy Youssef had a simple response to conservatives melting down over his Sesame Street appearance — take it up with the president.

Youssef guest-starred on the children's classic last week as part of Arab American Heritage Month, spending a few minutes with Elmo learning basic Arabic greetings. The segment was not intended to be threatening, but that wasn't how it was received by the right-wing outrage machine, Variety noted Tuesday.

Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo took to The Ingraham Angle to sound the alarm and conjure a radically different future for Bert and Ernie.

“I wish ‘Sesame Street’ would stick to teaching kids about letters and numbers and leave the Arabic immersion to someone else. Next, Bert and Ernie will be praying five times a day on Sesame Street, facing east,” Arroyo said.

Appearing on The View, Youssef addressed MAGA backlash by noting that Trump himself signed off on an April 5 social media post about the Iran war with "Praise be to Allah," a detail that conflicts with the conservative case against Arabic words on a children's show.

“I feel for them, right? … I think they’re worried [about] Arabic immersion, and it’s got to be tough, because I think they’re supporters of the President. So imagine your president on Easter is tweeting ‘Praise be to Allah,’ and now Elmo saying ‘habibi’ feels threatening," Youssef said.

The comedian noted he has spent years wading into genuinely divisive political territory without drawing this level of fury.

“There’s been a lot of languages on ‘Sesame Street’ and there’s been no backlash to those. So, it actually really did surprise me,” Youssef said.

He noted he has been outspoken in the past about highly controversial issues, and yet “Elmo saying habibi has set them off in a way that has never happened to me before.”

A new poll spells disaster for President Donald Trump — with even much of his own party turning on him.

According to the poll, conducted for the Associated Press and NORC, voters disapprove of Trump's job performance 67-33, with near-unanimous Democratic disapproval at 97 percent and independents opposing Trump by a three-to-one margin.

The real warning sign, however, is the approval rating among just Republicans.

GOP voters still approve of Trump, but only by a margin of 68-31. Put another way, nearly one in three Republicans disapproves of the job Trump is doing.

The poll further broke down that Trump is trailing in approval on every issue voters were asked about, including immigration, the economy, cost of living, and the war in Iran.

The AP/NORC survey follows a number of other surveys from various analysts that all show similar trends, with Trump's numbers collapsing among independents and weakening among even the GOP.

In another blow to President Donald Trump, voters in Virginia on Tuesday night approved a Democratic-backed referendum to pass an aggressive mid-decade gerrymander in retaliation for Republican states engaging in the same.

The vote was called by Decision Desk and CNN, with the vote at about 50.3% to 49.7% in favor.

Under the map approved by voters, four congressional districts currently held by Republicans would be redrawn to favor Democrats, leaving only one of the state's 11 districts as safe GOP territory.

The referendum faced an intense campaign with aggressive spending both for and against the measure.

Virginia is the second Democratic-controlled state to hold such a referendum, after California voters passed a similar one to add five Democratic-leaning seats last year.

These referenda were in response to Trump calling on Republican-controlled states to redraw their own maps to give themselves extra seats, with the hope of preserving their House majority amid declining poll numbers.

"Totally outrageous," one voter told CNN's Jeff Zeleny of Trump's effort to gerrymander elections for Republicans.

Republicans in Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri all acted to redraw for Republicans. However, the effort ended in failure in states like Kansas, Indiana, and New Hampshire, while Ohio Democrats managed to cut a compromise that left their state's map only slightly more favorable to the GOP.

Florida lawmakers are set to consider redistricting in the coming weeks.
