Dallas Morning News Blasted for Political Report on Ted Cruz's 13-Year-Old Daughter: 'Very Sleazy"

The Dallas Morning News is getting serious criticism for a report published Thursday evening that amplified the complaints of Senator Ted Cruz’s 13-year-old daughter about her father.

Apparently, Cruz’s daughter took to TikTok and answered questions live and revealed that she did not agree with her father’s politics and also shared personal feelings about growing up in the Cruz household.

Most reasonable people would argue that there are very few 13-year-old children that openly agree with their parents, particularly one with such a public political profile as the senator from Texas. And while there is likely some partisan interest in her thoughts, she is THIRTEEN years old and perhaps it might be better to just let this story go?

Or at least that’s the reaction by many blue-checked Twitter accounts, many from a more conservative point of view, who lamented what they saw as a really poor editorial decision in bringing this story to light. The TikTok account of Cruz’s daughter has since been made private.

She posted her shit under her real name in public for God and everybody to see. The press can't report on things that are public knowledge? I think what this is really about is her announcement that she's bisexual. That probably embarrassed her homophobic daddy and he's worried about how to explain it to voters when he runs for President again in a few years. Fuck him, and God help that poor girl.

Quite frankly if I was Ted Cruz, I’d take away her phone. But that’s just me. I’m still of the old thinking that 13 year olds should follow the household rules whether you like them or not.

However, I think it’s perfectly normal for a 13 year old to complain about their parents.

She also outed herself at a very early age. That alone deserves sensitivity and respect.

and I applaud her for it...here's what people don't get: no one says a child has to love a parent...no one says a child has to like a parent...Ted Cruz is a national embarrassment and his daughter lives that embarrassment every single day...
