UPDATED: What Do You think Would Have Happened if a Conservative Had Done This?

Washington Post stoops to a new low going after Ted Cruz
. . . " The plain fact is that whoever was on duty and reviewed the cartoon was part of the WaPo’s newsroom culture, which hates Ted Cruz and conservatives in general. We have seen in the past a similar instance of egregious prejudice at the WaPo’s newsroom, when in 1993 a front page story casually characterized evangelicals as   "largely poor, uneducated and easily led." (Note: evangelicals have above average levels of education.)" . . .

Godfather Politics   "Ted Cruz is an organ grinder and his two daughters are dancing monkeys. That's what a Pulitzer Prize winner drew:
"Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, argued that because the Texas senator had used his children as 'political props' in a recent Christmas parody infomercial they were 'fair game.'”

UPDATE: Here’s The Contact For Washington Post’s Anti-Cruz Children Cartoonist
. . . "If Jeff Bezos and the rest of the leadership of the Washington Post won’t hold its writers and cartoonists to a higher standard, its audience will." . . .
"This isn’t Telnaes’s first offense. She drew an animation of Netanyahu punching a Palestinian infant in the face repeatedly." . . .

"Pay attention Hispanic voters. Your children are viewed as monkeys to this liberal Democrat because she and many Democrat politicians believe they have you on a voting string.

"President Obama used his children in campaign ads, and the media loved it. Republicans did not object.
"See the campaign button to the right:


"Do a Google image search. The site is filled with photo ops of President Obama with his two daughters. Why weren't they "fair game"? I guess you have to have a Pulitzer Prize to ridicule the children of a United States Senator and a presidential candidate."

Ergo, here is the Cruz cartoon:
