On Tuesday, a scum-sucking, maggot-infested putrid piece of pale pig flesh cleverly disguised as a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the Washington Post, (with apologies to maggots and pigs everywhere) posted a cartoon depicting the two young daughters of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as monkeys.
The disgusting cartoon was apparently in response to a parody ad in which Cruz read to his children.
That was all Ann Telnaes needed to attack his children.
Here’s her tweet — which was deleted about the time this post was published:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
She wrote:
Just so you know, these are the two little children Telnaes depicted as monkeys:
The Post apparently came under heavy fire for the blatantly racist and despicable cartoon and pulled it with this explanation:
Editor’s note from Fred Hiatt: It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. 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.
According to the Post, Telnaes won a “Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 2001.”
The Post pulled her cartoon, but it still lives on Twitter.
Cruz responded to the cartoon with this:
Classy. @washingtonpost makes fun of my girls. Stick w/ attacking me–Caroline & Catherine are out of your league. https://t.co/N61ys6z8w1

Reaction to the disgusting post was swift and visceral:
@AnnTelnaes Looking for your cartoon of the Obamas' daughters drawn as monkeys. Hm. Can't find it.

@AnnTelnaes when did family values become a joke? He's a proud father. Or is that no longer normal?

It only matters is the target is a Democrat. If it’s a Republican, all bets are off.
Anyone else find @AnnTelnaes 's obsession with mocking the Cruz kids kinda creepy?

It’s beyond creepy. It’s sick.

It’ll never happen.

We don’t need to imagine.
Do you equate other children to monkeys or just those with a parent of color? @AnnTelnaes

Again, that depends on the political party of the target. Democrats are off-limits. Republicans, especially conservatives, are fair game.
Incidents like this are the reason we refer to the so-called mainstream media as the “Democrat-media complex” and it’s also one reason why so many in the country literally hate the media.
It’s a good thing the Post yanked the cartoon, but it also needs to post a very public apology to Cruz, his children and all conservatives.
