In June 2015, during an appearance at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Kermit was asked by Gloria Steinem if he was a feminist; Kermit said he was and Steinem suggested that we need more feminist frogs in Washington, which led Kermit to reveal that he's a member of the Amphibitarian party.

From http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Kermit's_political_affiliation (more quotes from different years at the link)

Apparently the actor(s) (don't know who's voicing Kermit since Jim Henson is gone) DO try to keep a non-partisan response to (often liberal slanted) political questions. It's likely that Henson's company (now owned by Disney) may even contractually yoke the actors taking political stances while voicing the characters.

It's good businesswise since no matter which party you advocate, there will be some who's business you lose.

I question the decision in permitting the Muppet characters to interact with Gloria Steinem at a politicized event.
