Children’s entertainer Rachel Anne Accurso, aka Ms Rachel, boasts 19.3 million subscribers on YouTube.
Accurso’s most popular video, “Baby Learning with Ms. Rachel – First Words, Songs and Nursery Rhymes for Babies,” has over 1.9 billion views. It’s typical Ms. Rachel schlock: bright colors, cartoon images, exaggerated gestures. Accurso wears her channel uniform: a pink headband, a pink t-shirt underneath denim overalls, and a permanent open-mouth smile.
Accurso is now applying her expertise in being really annoying to a new field: political agitation.
Accurso spoke to 9-year-old Deiver Henao Jimenez, who is being held with his parents at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas, in early March.

“Oh, I’m so sorry,” Accurso tells the boy in an Instagram video posted March 12. “A lot of people want to try to help.”
“It was unbelievably surreal to see this sweet little face and feel like I was on a call with somebody who’s in jail,” Accurso told NBC News. “It broke me, and it was something I never thought I’d encounter in life.”
Being detained is probably not so fun for an adult, much less a child. But detention and eventual deportation are the rightful consequence of breaking into another nation and squatting inside its borders. If Jimenez’s parents did such a thing, then Jimenez only has his parents to blame for his current circumstances.
“We’re trying to get a child out of a jail to do a spelling bee,” Accurso said to NBC. “I just never thought those words would go together.”
Taking such an opportunity away from a child “is cruelty,” Accurso added.
I’m amazed at Accurso’s infinite, unidirectional empathy. What of the opportunities stolen from American citizens, including American children, by illegal aliens?
Consider 7-year-old Dalilah Coleman. When Coleman was 5, an illegal alien driving a commercial 18-wheeler caused a multi-car pile-up, leaving Coleman with life-altering injuries. The crash plunged Coleman into a 3-week coma, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“According to … Dalilah’s father, the crash resulted in her inability to walk, talk, eat orally, or attend kindergarten as planned … Dalilah experienced a broken femur, skull fractures, and has since been diagnosed with diplegic cerebral palsy, global developmental delay, and will need life-long therapy,” said DHS.
As far as I’m aware, Accurso has never so much as remarked on Coleman’s case. Perhaps Accurso isn’t even aware of Coleman’s existence, which would seem to speak to a selective media intake.
“I am political,” Accurso said to NBC. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border.”
Accurso has waded into political discourse before, opining on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
“It’s so important for me to speak out for children whose human rights are being violated. That’s our responsibility as grown-ups, is to stand up for kids when they’re being denied access to food, water, education for two years; 18,000 children have been killed. Everyone should be saying something,” Accurso told PBS in August 2025.
Accurso came under fire in January for accidentally liking a post which reportedly accused Jews of controlling America. Accurso broke down in tears in an Instagram video, saying, “I would never agree with an antisemitic thing like the comment. We have Jewish family, a lot of my friends are Jewish. I delete antisemitic comments.”
Accurso joined New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in January for a promotional event.
“This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare – and how we’re making it happen for NYC!” Mamdani wrote in an Instagram post.

Accurso is sometimes touted as Fred Rogers’ (Mister Rogers’) heir apparent. But “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” moved slowly. It took children seriously. That much is evident in the music written for the show.
Accurso condescends to children. She sings songs like “Icky Sticky Bubble Gum” and wears a childlike outfit and generally comports herself in a childlike manner. All of Accurso’s political posturing might be overlooked if she regularly put out a decent children’s show. She does not. She makes mind-numbing, Cocomelon-flavored drivel.
