CNN interviewed Ted Cruz today on tax reform and what he expects to see out of this Congress.
But before they did, they made sure to grill Cruz about the porn-tweet-controversy and hold his feet to the fire:

So there’s his official response and he handled it quite professionally.
But I totally agree with this Huffpo reporter:

UPDATE:
CNN has also posted this portion of the interview. Clearly they don’t really care about tax reform as much as they do Ted’s views on porn tweets and sex toys because that’s all they’ve posted so far:

UPDATE: I decided to post Cruz’s tax reform portion in a new post that you can read here.
