Texas Senator Ted Cruz is in a center of a Twitter related scandal after “liking” a pornographic video. Yes, you read that right. The same politician who, as Texas solicitor general, defended a law that banned the selling and advertising of sex toys. During the case, Cruz argued that there was no constitutional right to “stimulate one’s genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship,” according to Mother Jones. Basically, Cruz was against masturbation.

The mere thought of Ted Cruz pleasuring himself to porn, on Twitter, caused a huge reaction.

Everyone has the right to do with themselves what they want but these things are usually kept private. We would not have known that Cruz watches porn, much less what kind of porn he is into, were it not for one “accidental” like given to a video.
If there is one thing we can count on in 2017 are Internet sleuths ready to screenshot a moment because receipts are everything.
There were a couple people offering some advice for future searches.
He should have just used PornHub like a normal person #TedCruzScandal

At least that way you are way less likely to accidentally like an inappropriate tweet.
Someone even came up with a new nickname for Cruz based on the Twitter scandal.
He hated to be called "Lyin' Ted." I hope he likes the name "Fappin' Ted" better. #TedCruzScandal

“Fappin’ Ted.” ?
Twitter even made the star of the porn film into a meme because that’s how Twitter does.

Crus did finally speak to the press about the tweet and claimed that it was a “staffing issue” the led to his account liking the video.
Not to mention that the account that posted the tweet his liked has changed their bio to include their own claim to fame.
