Jon P. Ferdig: Cruz stands for family, the Constitution, God; why make fun of him?

The editorial cartoon depicting the seal of the U.S. President with a “whacky bird” rather irritated me. Ted Cruz stands for the Constitution, believes in family and believes in God. And that is “whacky”? (Not saying I’m voting for him, but he says a lot of solid things I do believe in.) Just wonder: reprint the same cartoon, but put in Hillary Clinton’s name instead.

Jon P. Ferdig, Los Banos

Editor’s note: During March, The Bee has published one cartoon depicting Ted Cruz and six depicting Hillary Clinton.

This story was originally published March 26, 2015 at 5:21 PM with the headline "Jon P. Ferdig: Cruz stands for family, the Constitution, God; why make fun of him?."
