The Post published – then quickly pulled down – a cartoon from editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes showing his two daughters as monkeys on leashes and him dressed in a Santa suit, playing an organ grinder. Don’t mess with my kids, don’t mess with Marco’s kids, don’t mess with Hillary’s kids, don’t mess with anybody’s kids! Leave kids alone and if the media wants to attack and ridicule every Republican, well, that’s what they’re gonna do, but leave our kids alone.” He added, “It used to be for a long time the rules across the board, that kids are off limits, that should be the rules. Don’t make fun of a 5-year-old girl and a 7-year-old girl.” “All of us learned in kindergarten – don’t hit little girls.
“I have to admit yesterday when I saw that cartoon – not much ticks me off – but making fun of my girls, that’ll do it,” Cruz told reporters after a campaign swing in Oklahoma. Cruz and Heidi have two daughters, Caroline and Catherine Cruz.Ted Cruz said Wednesday The Washington Post editorial cartoonist who depicted his daughters is due for a lesson most others learned in kindergarten: “Don’t hit little girls.” The Washington Post on Tuesday night removed a cartoon that portrayed Ted Cruz’s daughters as monkeys. The Washington Post pulled a cartoon Tuesday night that depicted Sen. Born in 2008, Caroline is 12-years-old, and younger sister Catherine is 10-years-old. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as an organ grinder and his young daughters (not shown above) as monkeys. In 2017, Cruz brought his daughters to meet President Donald Trump. Cruz and his wife have been married for 19-years. He was bashing Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes, who depicted Cruz's daughters Caroline, 7, and Catherine, 4 as monkeys leashed to their father's organ-grinder in a cartoon published earlier Tuesday. “It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. 'There is an unspoken rule in editorial cartooning that a politician’s children are off-limits,' Telnaes said in introducing the cartoon. 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,” Washington Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt said in a note in place of the cartoon.
Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz says a Washington Post cartoon depicting his 5- and 7-year-old daughters as monkeys is inappropriate and that children of candidates should. The cartoon was removed after the Texas senator laid into the Washington Post earlier Tuesday for making “fun of my girls” on Twitter. Stick w/ attacking me-Caroline & Catherine are out of your league,” Cruz tweeted. The Texas senator was responding to a cartoon from Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes captioned as, “Ted Cruz uses his kids as political props.” The cartoon portrays Cruz as an organ grinder dressed in a Santa outfit and cowboy boots while two Christmas-clad monkeys - his 7 and 4-year-old daughters - dance in front of him. The cartoon was drawn ostensibly in response to an ad Cruz released called “Ted Cruz’s Christmas classics” that featured him reading politically related Christmas stories to his daughters. “Ted Cruz has put his children in a political ad- don’t start screaming when editorial cartoonists draw them as well,” Telnaes tweeted earlier Tuesday.
