Warning: The following article is of a NSFW nature, obviously.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz appears to have 'liked' a porn tweet on Twitter.
This isn't just a big deal because the Texas Senator once tried, and failed, to get his party's nomination for the 2016 president election. It's a big deal because Mr Cruz once waged a legal campaign against dildos and sex toys, arguing that members of the public have no right...
...to stimulate one’s genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship...
He's also supported banning forms of birth control in the past.
His puritanical leg to stand on is gone.
Despite the website being 11-years-old now, it seems many people still don't realise that everyone else on Twitter can see your likes. They're a very public thing.
So when he decided to like a tweet by @SexuallPosts (who now proudly boast the tagline "Follow for the porn Ted Cruz watches"), pretty much the entire internet saw.
And of course they had some fun with it:
somewhere in texas mcmansion, ted cruz is sleeping, blissfully unaware of the maelstrom of horror that awaits him in the morning— Frasier Gun (@Frasier Gun) 1505195551
I'll pay $10 to any reporter that asks Ted Cruz if he's seen any good movies lately. #TedCruz— Tgage (@Tgage) 1505197192
Everyone: "Why does Twitter show me a bunch of tweets that other people have liked?" *Ted Cruz favs some porn on 9/11* Everyone: "Ahhh..."— Kit / Chris (@Kit / Chris) 1505199724
.@tedcruz Try Tumblr, dear.— billy eichner (@billy eichner) 1505195021
while every one is talking about ted cruz pulling his hog on 9/11 it's a good time to sneak in some opinions. ketchup is a garbage condiment— leon (@leon) 1505192737
There's also a serious point here:
sex and masturbation are wonderful things. ted cruz has tried to demonize and legislate both. SO IMA DRAG HIM ALL WEEK 4 WANKING IT.— Gabe González (@Gabe González) 1505194475
America needs to stop its fixation with god-fearing politicians who get on a pulpit to demonise sexuality.
