As you’ve probably no doubt heard by now a porn video was ‘liked’ on Ted Cruz’s Twitter account last night. Of course that sent Twitter into a frenzy with people claiming that Cruz had liked the porn video.
The video was removed from Cruz’s account a short while later and then reported to Twitter, according to Cruz’s spokeswoman:
The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter

That didn’t stop, however, the Twitter account responsible for the porn video from including Ted Cruz in their bio:
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if we saw this on the news today. A criminal Democrat on trial isn’t worthwhile news, but you can bet your bottom dollar that a Republican ‘liking’ porn videos…well that’s why all these libs became journalists in the first place!
UPDATE:
This morning Ted joked about the tweet to the press before explaining that it was a staff mistake:
Ted Cruz just now jokes about liked porn tweet: "Perhaps we should have done something like this during the Indiana primary."

Cruz: "There are a number of people on the team that have access to the account & it appears that someone inadvertently hit the like button"
