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

It’s beyond the pale.

Not really. Pretty much in keeping with Clinton, Obama and Progressive standards....probably will get a “atta girl” from the DNC.

Hmmm.. I am sure the cartoonist has family.
Darn shame if someone released it all to the public.

Imagine the reactions from congressional democRATS! They’d be screaming for committee hearings to make up new and exciting ways to undermine the First Amendment. Regulations on political speech and all that horsepoop.

The cartoonist is a C-word.
I was gonna say she looked like a (whatever, something bad) but she’s actually decent looking.

And this is why I don’t want to run for public office. I have two boys with special needs. Political campaigns can destroy a childhood faster than you can say “...and I approve this message”.

Maybe it's me but those two kids don't look anything like either him or he/she. I mean, how could they if he/she's a transvestite?
