3. The Time Lamb Chop Got Political
In fairness to Lamb Chop, she’s been toeing the line of political humor her whole life. Shari Lewis often voiced her opinions through the innocent voice of the lamb, which gave the messages an innocent yet penetrating quality. It was like, if this plush puppet can make such compelling statements, what’s wrong with the rest of us? For that reason, nobody was surprised when after the 2016 election, Lamb Chop had this to say of the president-elect on Twitter: “I know a Russian puppet when I see one! #notmypresident.” Of course, Mallory was the typist behind that tweet. “It’s important that artists speak out against Donald Trump and the Republican Party,” said Mallory, “… Lamb Chop is nothing if not an artist. There comes a time when even if there is a political backlash, you must stand for what is right.”
