Cruz, dressed as Santa Claus, operates an organ grinder leashed to two dancing monkeys. The cartoon was posted to Twitter by Telnaes with the text, "Ted Cruz uses his kid as political props." | ||
The cartoon references | The cartoon references a campaign ad featuring Cruz, his wife, and his two daughters styled as an infomercial for Christmas books with political topics, such as "Auditing St. Nick" and "How ObamaCare Stole Christmas." His daughter Caroline reads from "The Grinch who Lost Her Emails," and his daughter Caroline asks him to read "The Senator Who Saved Christmas." | ||
Telnaes published | Telnaes published the work with an explanation, stating, "When a politician uses his children as political props, as Ted Cruz recently did in his Christmas parody video in which his eldest daughter read (with her father’s dramatic flourish) a passage of an edited Christmas classic, then I figure they are fair game." | ||
|description_of_incident=In response to the cartoon, Ted Cruz tweeted, "Classy. @washingtonpost makes fun of my girls. Stick w/ attacking me--Caroline & Catherine are out of your league," and posted a link to Telnaes' cartoon. He told reporters,"Not much ticks me off, but making fun of my girls? That will do it. 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." | |description_of_incident=In response to the cartoon, Ted Cruz tweeted, "Classy. @washingtonpost makes fun of my girls.
