Cruz is a bit red faced today...

Republican Senator Ted Cruz became the butt of more than a few jokes overnight after it was revealed that he had “liked” a 2-minute porn video from the account @SexuallPosts. (Links in this post are NSFW.) And amazingly, Cruz’s communications director, Catherine Frazier, tried to imply that the Twitter slip had somehow been perpetrated by someone not associated with Cruz. The porn video, which shows a woman walking in on a man and woman having sex on a couch, was in Ted Cruz’s likes for at least 30 minutes before being “unliked” sometime around 1:00am. Thanks to the porn flub, “Ted Cruz” was trending globally on Twitter throughout the night.
“The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter,” Frazier tweeted at 2:16am Eastern time. But there was clearly nothing to report to Twitter, since someone with access to the account had clearly liked the video. That’s how Twitter likes work. People can’t plant a like on your page. The Twitter account that Cruz liked changed its bio to read, “Follow for the Same Porn @TedCruz Watches,” and even tweeted “Thanks for watching ted!” at the Senator.
To make everything even more ridiculous, Ted Cruz was once part of a legal team that argued Americans don’t have a constitutionally protected right to use sex toys or even to stimulate their own genitals. Seriously.
