The Dallas Morning News was slammed for an "utterly classless story" that reported on Sen. Ted Cruz's 13-year-old daughter and a TikTok video she posted explaining the pros and cons of being the child of an elected official.

"An utterly classless story from the @dallasnews. She's just 13, not an elected official. Let it go," former Cruz spokesman and previous California GOP chair Ron Nehrling tweeted.

His tweet came in response to a story posted by the Dallas Morning News headlined, "Ted Cruz's daughter takes to TikTok to discuss life as senator's kid." The outlet also tweeted out the story and captioned the post, "Ted Cruz’s daughter says she disagrees ‘with most of his views.'"
