Lil Nas X seems to become more iconic with each passing day, so it was probably only a matter of time before he became online BFFs with iconic A-listers like The Teletubbies.

And like everything Lil Nas X does, even becoming friends with adorable...alien babies? (what exactly ARE the Teletubbies anyway?) has outraged conservatives.

Case in point: would-be Republican politician Lauren Witzke, who was so outraged by a playful Twitter exchange between the Teletubbies and Lil Nas X that she called Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po "little gay demons" in an Instagram post, seen below.

Hey Lauren, 2002 called and it wants its homophobic pearl-clutching back.

It all began when the adorable multi-colored little weirdos celebrated the drop of Lil Nas X's new album Montero by tweeting a request that they "feature on the next album."

And Lil Nas X was gamely all about the idea.


The Teletubbies tweeted back they'd see Lil Nas X in the studio.

The internet has already marked its collective calendar for the drop of these new jams. You know Dipsy and Po got bars!

But conservatives never saw a fun moment involving an LGBTQ person that they didn't immediately want to stomp on. So here came Witzke, a failed Republican candidate for Senate, former far-right television host and QAnon devotee.

Witzke, who lost her 2020 Senate bid by more than 20 points to incumbent Democratic Senator Chris Coons, saw only one thing and one thing only in this Twitter conversation between a rapper and, we remind you, fictional baby aliens (we think?), and that thing was homosexual Satanism.

Of course, that shouldn't exactly be surprising, coming from an avowed theocrat. Witzke, who describes herself as an "American Christian Nationalist," spent her 2020 campaign advocating against same-sex marriage, calling her opponent a "Christian-hating baby killer" and calling trans people "demonic" "pedophiles."

Nevertheless, people on Instagram couldn't believe Witzke was this pressed about Lil Nas X collaborating with—we cannot stress this enough—fictional baby aliens.

They came in hot with clapbacks and mockery for Witzke.

Anyway, while Witzke was busy having a meltdown about satanic gay Teletubbies Lil Nas X became the most streamed rapper on Spotify. Your move, Lauren.

AOC Just Gave A Super Cheeky Response After Learning Vance Thinks She's The Leading Democratic Candidate For President In 2028

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez played coy with reporters after learning that Vice President JD Vance believes she's the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.

Although many voters have floated Ocasio-Cortez as a possible contender, she has yet to announce any plans to run. According to polling averages compiled by 270toWin, she ranks fourth among prospective Democratic candidates, trailing former Vice President Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

John Oliver Epically Drags Jesse Watters For Sharing Unverified Video Of Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandals On Fox News

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.
