It was Kermit's evil doppleganger, Constantine. You can tell he's evil because he's got a mole on his face.

And, at present, there’s still a popular meme showing Elmo delighting at the site of a nuclear explosion.

This would be a lot more funny to me if my resemblance to Bert didn't result in extra screening every time I went through US customs.
