White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday responded to Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) criticism of her, comparing her to the "Peanuts" character Peppermint Patty.
A reporter made Psaki aware of comments Cruz made during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday night, saying that she wanted to give the press secretary an opportunity to respond.
"Senator Ted Cruz is speaking at CPAC and you came up," the reporter told Psaki. "He called you quote-unquote Peppermint Patty and has encouraged people to boo you."
"Don't tell him I like Peppermint Patty," Psaki responded. "So I'm not going to take it too offensively. Senator Cruz, I like Peppermint Patty. I'm a little tougher than that. But there you go."

Cancun Cruz thought he was clever when he really has the mindset of a grade school kid.

Cruz is trying, and failing miserably, at being the next playground bully, à la Trump.
