Y’all. If you’ve checked Twitter lately, you more than likely saw tweet after tweet with the hashtag #CruzSexScandal blowing up your feed. The reason behind the hashtag is a story that ran in the National Enquirer. It claims Ted Cruz had affairs with 5 different women — FIVE. On the one hand, it’s the National Enquirer we’re talking about, but on the other, they broke the John Edwards sex scandal story so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Regardless of the legitimacy of the story, the responses to the hashtag have been magical.
The hashtag has led to depression for a lot of Twitter users.
There's depression, and then there's " #TedCruz is getting laid more than you" depression

There has also been serious “shock” — *cue sarcasm* — over the unspeakable news.

This dude already gave Heidi Cruz her own special title, should the unthinkable happen and Cruz actually became president.
If @tedcruz were elected president his wife would be the sixth lady. #CruzSexScandal

There’s even talk about what will happen when he finally faces the music à la Bill Clinton.

And then there are the social media vigilantes working diligently to expose the identities of the women accused of sleeping with Cruz.

Some of them are pretty public figures. #SipsTea
Most importantly, people were waiting on the edge of their seats for Donald Trump to chime in. After all, there’s already a battle involving their wives.
