Texas Sen. Ted Cruz slammed The Washington Post on Tuesday after the paper depicted his two young daughters as monkeys in an editorial cartoon.
In an article accompanying her drawing, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes wrote that while it is an "unspoken rule in editorial cartooning that a politician’s children are off-limits," she felt that Cruz's daughters, Caroline and Catherine, were "fair game" because the Republican presidential candidate used them in a Christmas parody video

Cruz responded, urging Telnaes to attack him rather than his kids
Classy. @washingtonpost makes fun of my girls. Stick w/ attacking me–Caroline & Catherine are out of your league. https://t.co/N61ys6z8w1

The depravity of this woman is beyond comprehension.
Imagine if that had been done to Obama.
Lots of people would have been fired....
Do it to Sasha and Malia
When I saw Cruz’s Christmas video I was going to parody the MSM slamming him for using his kids as props - and would’t you know, they beat me to it.
Do it to Hillary, who will no doubt use Chelsea’s kids.
She’s a racist witch. She wouldn’t have done that to someone who was Aryan.
Let’s play the Race Card on the Washington Post.
It’s OK to portray white kids (persons) as monkeys...only whites.
I remember when an Obama delegate was forced to resign after calling some kids playing in a tree monkeys.
All animals are equal...but black animals are more equal..than others.
Leftists have been trashing Conservatives kids for years. Type in Trig Palin in google and you will see the most vulgar, nasty things one can ever say about a beautiful little boy..yet the left is upset that Donald Trump said “Schlong” the same leftists who have been calling Tea Party Patriots “Teabaggers” for YEARS

I’d meet the “Cartoonist” in an Ally - Way and Teach him what an Irish - Donnybrook is.
I still believe those girls are rented.
History will prove me right.
Can you imagine if a Democrat’s children had been depicted that way?
If you take a look at Sasha and Malia, it’s hard to see any family resemblance.
Good find.
They’d never touch Obama’s kids, nor should they.
Different set of rules for Republicans.
Conservatives need to start striking out at the left like Trump & Cruz have.....they have taken this rubbish far too long from the press.
