Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a man who once denounced birth control by using the word ‘abortifacient’ to describe the Plan B pill, sent Twitter users abuzz when he liked an adult video out of his official account.
The video in question was originally posted by @SexuallPosts and depicts a pretty graphic two-minute porn clip. Cruz’s account liked the video late Monday, and it was listed at the top of his recent Twitter likes for about an hour. Soon after the post was removed and reported to Twitter.
“The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter,” Cruz’s spokesperson, Catherine Frazier, tweeted Tuesday morning at 2:17 a.m.
It may have been removed, but screenshots are forever.
Well done @TedCruz using the power of "like" to illustrate the evils of porn #Weiner pic.twitter.com/SQDPh1cRTp

It's even more beautiful as a haiku.
I suppose we all have our own ways of remembering 9/11, but I was taken aback by Ted Cruz's approach.

Also amid the social media reaction, Cruz’s former Princeton roommate, screenwriter Craig Mazin, said the senator’s internet activity brought back unsavory college memories.
Now imagine Ted Cruz is doing this four feet below you in the bottom bunk bed.

Yes, my misery very much appreciates your company.
Sadly, the fact that Ted Cruz jacks off to mediocre porn spam is the most human thing we can say about him. This is actually his high point.

Cruz has yet to make a statement regarding the Twitter activity.
