Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz slammed the Washington Post Tuesday for publishing a cartoon appearing to depict his children as monkeys.
Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, argued that because the Texas senator had used his children as âpolitical propsâ in a recent Christmas parody infomercial they were âfair game.â
A representative for the Post could not be reached for comment in time for publication by TheBlaze.
UPDATE, 8:40 p.m. ET: The Washington Post retracted the cartoon and replaced it with an editorâs note from Fred Hiatt. It reads:
Itâs generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree.

Liar. Planned all along. “Ok we will publish it, then say it was a mistake.”

I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. Sure Mr. Hiatt, I believe that.
Everybody believes that, right?
Because you really do think the world is going to buy off on every line of crap you spout.
Typical lib...

Why is the left not attacking Donald with such vitriol? Tells you something, they fear the true conservative...Ted Cruz.

The editor says he understands why she thought it would be OK.

We really are in a new era. The curtain has been pulled back and we see clearly that our opponents think they can say absolutely anything and just get away with it. And why not? That strategy has been working for them for decades.
Now Cruz and Trump aren't taking it.
The lame excuses are just lame excuses. And Left seems to have absolutely nothing better to fall back on.

How like leftists to take something pure and lovely and
beautiful and TRY to turn it into something dirty.
If they’d depicted the Obama girls as “monkeys”, PC Hell
would have fallen on their heads.
So SMALL as to be actually INVISIBLE.

I don’t see the issue, but guess it serves as a means to beat up the Post and get into the news.
