Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes went for Ted Cruz’ jugular, when she inappropriately brought his daughters into her political cartooning commentary. Knowing kids are off limits, she justified her position by stating if Ted can do it, I can do it. Her cartoon, which aimed decisively at Cruz’ heart, backfired as the outrage mounted, resulting in the removal of the offensive drawing.
Cruz responded in an interview saying, “Listen, all of us learned in kindergarten, don’t it little girls. It’s not complicated, don’t make fun of a five-year-old girl and a seven-year-old girl.”
The Washington Post editorial page editor, Fred Hiatt said he did not view the cartoon before it was published. He said it did not agree with the reasoning behind Ann’s use of the children. He had the cartoon removed.
On the next page, find Cruz’ responding to the video and the tweet he sent out demonstrating a proper use of political cartoons and at whom they should be aimed.
dont worry Ted at least you know whom to punnish when your President right
Good to see that he is tacking the hard problems that face us, perhaps the politicians are just as distracted as the people are.
Have you noticed, it’s the liberals that do all the mean things to people that would just like to express an opinion
If a Republican did that, liberals would be screaming racism and demanding he be punished.
It’s funny that just recently fans of this page depicted obama as a monkey. (Spoiler Alert: We’re all descendants of apes).
Now imagine the GOP did this. Liberals in a frenzy!
Can’t be anymore clear than that, spot on.
Children are out of bounds and should not be involved in the politics.
This is the liberal democrats way ,they are just class of people their is.
the point is these were small children being attacked. It was uncalled for
