Saturday Night Live did not just take aim at Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz. The NBC comedy show also mocked his daughter, Catherine.

In last night's cold open skit last night, an actor playing Cruz said, "First, my family, I would be nothing without the love and support of my incredible family like my daughter Catherine here."
"Come here, sweetie," says the fake Cruz. "How about a hug for daddy?"
"No," says the actress, clearly much older than the real life Catherine Cruz.
"Come on, now, give daddy a hug for the camera?"
"No."
"Come here, sweetie. How about a kiss? I'll settle for a kiss. Love you too, honey. My pride and joy."
Catherine Cruz is 5 years old.
You know when the guys from South Park insulted Muslims they were threatened with violence and the network made them stop. Just saying.
Chelsea did get rough treatment a couple of times while in the White House. I recall one time when she was described as ugly or something similar by one media person.
So trying to hug a kid, when the kid is upset, is being disrespectful?
Geez, you anti Cruz "koolaide drinkers".
The point was not whether he hugged his kid. The point was that she flicked her hand at him and recoiled away from him.
The kid was probably tired of the melee and just wanted to be home with her little friends instead of campaigning.
So, she was crabby.
I said they would Destroy him. This is only the beginning, they will make him a laughing stock, wait and see.
I should have said we have Freepers going after Cruz based on the daughters reaction.
Kids that age don’t often want PDA. He deserves ribbing for that.
He ain’t Jerry Ford or Sarah Palin my man.
Hey, she didn’t want the affection; he should be home enough to have a feel for his kid, and not use her for the camera. He took the risk. He gets a little ribbing. Fair game.
I didn't think it was funny or clever either. SNL has had a few decent skits recently, but this one wasn't one of them.
Cruz tried to hug the kid, and the kid behaved like a normal crabby kid.
Agree. That SNL skit was not funny at all. The one they did a few weeks ago was hiliarious. (DT calling Jeb, Jebra).
The last time SNL backed a Republican was 1864. They had better writers then too.
Why just blame just SNL, we have Trumpettes posting the gif of the incident on FR.
One thing about liberals is that they are always emotionally immature. This combination can be tagic or deadly in an adult.
The daughter kept saying “ouch”, didn’t she? What else was happening there that we didn’t see”
To some liberals affection equals rape in their minds. I don’t quite know why but perhaps they weren’t loved as children and as adults have mistaken sex as love only to be let down time and again. The Liberal nation is made up of emotionally immature and immotionally scarred adults.
“I saw the skit but did not feel it was mocking his daughter and did not feel anything unnatural was implied. At the same time I agree with you that this was not necessary, that children and spouses should be left out of it.”
There was once a comedian that had a show on the electric television that joked about the rape of the child of a Republican candidate. I don’t want that to start up again and I’m afraid it will and that all kind of excuses will again be made for it in New York City and here on this site.
