After the Wednesday editions of CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today attempted to excuse the disgusting Washington Post cartoon depicting Ted Cruz’s daughters as moneys, various hosts and guests throughout the day on CNN and MSNBC followed suit by chiding the “weird” and “controversial” Cruz for sending out fundraising e-mails related to the smear and “not reacting kindly” to cartoonist Ann Telnaes’s latest work.
The bashing came early and often, beginning in the 9:00 a.m. Eastern hour of CNN Newsroom as host Carol Costello expressed uneasiness at what Telnaes did (which was soon after retracted), but still found a way to take a swipe at Cruz: “I will say....the fact that Ted Cruz is raising money off a controversy that involves his children is kind of weird.”
