But then I saw that he is sharing this same cartoon with donors to raise money. So now this offensive use of his children is actually being promoted by Cruz.

That is even more disgusting than the cartoon itself, because he is their father and should be more interested than anybody else in keeping them out of the fray.

His commercial was awful too, using his daughters to spout right-wing comments. Someday those girls are going to be adults and they may even become Democrats. At that time, they would rightfully resent being 'prostituted' by their father in this way.
