WaPo removes cartoon showing Cruz daughters as monkeys
washingtonexaminer ^ | Dec. 22, 2015 | T. Becket Adams

Posted on 12/22/2015 8:29:04 PM PST by PROCON

UPDATE 12.22.15: The Washington Post removed the cartoon late Tuesday evening, and issued an apology explaining that they did not review Telnaes' work prior to publishing.

"It's generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it," Post editor Fred Hiatt said in a statement.

"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."

I remember. And her older daughters, too.

this was tame comparative to other offence done by liberals on children of republicans remember 7 years ago family guys making fun of Sarah Palins son trig. the statement by the Post editor Fred Hiatt tells us all about the contempt with in the editing board. I don’t believe him when he said that one got by me. I think he put it up knowing that he would have to take it down. my god only a low down person lampoons a four and seven year old. my bet is that we will see more of this because liberals cross lines that they make for other people to fallow

This is going to make the Post realize that when the social media does a major blowback at you, what you did originally wasn't a good idea in the first place.

So, this editor is admitting to being asleep on the job (or lying through his teeth, of course)?! President Trump should buy this foul rag and tell him, “YOU’RE FIRED!!!” ;)

Who's the jackass putting "Ineligible" and "Canadian" in the tags?

Some Trumpkins are trolls and they're here on FR to discredit Cruz anyway they can


Don't be so quick with that broad brush there PROCON, I support Trump (and Cruz) and that's why I'm pinging the mod to take those tags out and hopefully identify the lame little dirt bags responsible for it.

Mr. Mod? Cleanup on Aisle 1, and Merry Christmas!

Understood, and I think we’re on the same page. I was supporting Cruz long before Trump got into this race and it irks me when I see supporters of either candidate trashing the other, we’re all on the same team and we all have the same objective which is to save our Republic from our domestic enemies, and that includes ‘RATS, RINOs and all of the libtard media.

Cheers!

George Allen’s political career was destroyed for far, far less than this.

“so waiting for them to be portrayed as monkeys”

Did you say “portrayed?”

We all know how the Dem side uses their kids without fear of them being attacked...no matter how old they are

But, I did find Cruz’s ad to be extremely goofy. With it’s goofiness and then using his daughters, whatever message he was trying to get across was lost.

If anyone needs to stay clear of “goofy”, Cruz should.

I asked the Mod to delete it.

WHY lower ourselves to their standards and give ammo to liberals who troll here and are just looking for a reason to have FR banned?

Think it couldn't happen?
