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.
Sharon Price Why are Americans upset over the very laws that protect our freedom? Know them, enforce them, stand for them or we all go down.
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN: ONE BORN OF TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS ON US SOIL. Cruz is a liar and knows he is illegally on a ballot.

He has every right to go off on that poor excuse for a paper.
Obama is not born in America his family in Africa said so…
Do liberals have any morals at all? I guess not.
I’m pretty sure Ted knows who the father of his children are but Bill Clinto can only guess since Chelsea’s DNA doesn’t match his.
You won best comment of the year award today. Hahaha
I seem to recall there was a flay-ex that involved the Obama girls. I agreed with Obama then just as I agree with Cruz now.
