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.
Prove it numb nuts
What exactly are you asking me to prove, Carndal?
Jennifer Deluca Truth never changes honey. If ones were not so ignorant of our laws I would not be doing this but will miss no opportunity. You don’t have to see my post so shut your face.
These guys are crazy pissing off a lawyer who likes to sue people… can’t wait till Ted owns them I can see Teds name on their place of business…
Cruz is not my favorite, still needs to be researched more. However, children should not get involved unless he is doing it himself for sympathy. Sorry, hate to say that but after Obama we need to be super careful.
Leave all kids out of it!! Regardless of the party.
Why aren’t Obama’s girls depicted as baboons? Fair is fair…
Has every right to
Liberals are basically terrorists they protect criminals and attack women and children.
In all fairness he shouldn’t have placed the girls actively involved in the campaign and then been ‘shocked’ when they were mocked. Kids need to stay home and let the grownups do the campaigning.
