Watch it below, from the December 23 Fox & Friends.Ĭhild abuse? Psychological abuse? If Penis3 wants to go there, how about having the guts to call out Cruz for inserting his young daughters into a highly political ad in which he has the oldest daughter mocking Hillary as the Grinch in such a ridiculous, snarky manner? His daughter most likely doesn’t even understand what is really going on with the email/server issue yet her Dad uses her as a tool for his political campaign to go after Hillary. “How long will these little girls have to go on and answer for this, that somehow their father is some bizarre looking Santa with an organ grinder and that they’re little monkeys? What is their mother in that bizarre family portrait?” However, Johnson all but suggested somebody should go to jail. “No one is saying they should go to jail for it and there’s no physical harm but it’s emotional abuse,” Johnson now argued. They’re not going to be put in jail.” This, despite the fact that Johnson was introduced as a Fox News legal analyst there “to weigh in on the legal side” of the child abuse question. It wasn’t until more than two-thirds into the interview that Johnson finally acknowledged that there would not and should not be any legal repercussions from this “child abuse.” He said, “I think from a moral perspective it’s abuse. Morris “forgot” to point out that Cruz circulated the cartoon in order to fundraise off it, thereby possibly ensuring that more people see it from him than from The Washington Post, which pulled it. Morris noted that the viewers are “kind of split” on the cartoon because Cruz put the girls in his campaign ads. “They shouldn’t have to go to school and explain to their friends that they’re not really little monkeys,” Johnson continued, with all the best conservative victimhood Fox has to offerĪpparently, Fox News viewers are not siding with Ailes, I mean Johnson on this one. Of course, Morris did not correct the record. The cartoon depicted two monkeys on a leash that were references to Cruz’ daughters. And so don’t hide behind the First Amendment and say well, Senator Cruz you put your daughters in play and so The Washington Post can now call them little monkeys.Īctually, The Post never called the daughters “little monkeys.” The cartoon didn’t even really portray them as little monkeys. JOHNSON: I hate to be judgmental, especially in this Christmas season, but I really do think it’s a form of child abuse.
The “child abuse” meme began with host Clayton Morris “just asking” if the cartoon was “a form of child abuse.” “just asks” the same question in its title for the video, below.Īnd – surprise! Johnson thought the cartoon child was abuse. But Johnson, Roger Ailes' personal attorney and Fox News stand-in, took the derangement even further. I thought Meghan McCain’s reaction to the cartoon, in which she suggested that the Cruz daughters would be scarred for life, was over-the-top. who insisted that the cartoon is a form of child abuse. The most hysterical response to a Washington Post cartoon depicting Senator Ted Cruz’ daughters as monkeys has got to belong to Peter Johnson, Jr.
