Look at this article deriding Cruz for supposedly 'liking' a porn video on Twitter. They're doing this to suggest that he's not a real Christian.

Ted Cruz 'Likes' Porn on Twitter, Breaks Internet
The excuses are almost inevitable, and predictable: The account was hacked, possibly by those pesky Russians. Or some rogue intern got hold of the social media, a secret Democrat intent on political subterfuge. Wh**ever the case, it is all but certain that Ted Cruz, the conservative Republican who serves as the junior Senator from Texas, will deny having "liked" a pornographic clip on Twitter.
The facts are as follows: On Monday evening, the account belonging to Cruz "liked" a video clip posted by @SexuallPosts, an account whose sole purpose is disseminating pornographic videos. That clip, 2 minutes and 20 seconds in length, has a woman walking into what appears to be her house. There, she discovers a couple having sexual intercourse. She proceeds to watch them, to her own evident pleasure.
The Cruz account retracted the "like" as soon as it began to attract the attention of Twitter users. By then, of course, it was too late.

Cruz's press secretary did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Tuesday morning. A request for comment to the administrator of the @SexuallPosts Twitter account similarly received no response at time of publication. A senior communications adviser to Cruz did acknowledge the incident in a late Monday tweet:
The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter

Sexuall Posts, meanwhile, sought to capitalize on the attention by updating its Twitter profile, urging users to "Follow for the Same Porn @TedCruz Watches."
Of course, many people like pornography for many reasons. Most of those people, however, are not moralizing conservative politicians known to regularly profess the profundity of their Christian faith. Cruz has frequently railed against gay marriage while casting himself as a pious defender of the republic. In the strident tones of a doomsday preacher, he has maligned "New York values" while promising to defend the last vestiges of Western civilization, if only the good citizens of the nation were willing to make him their president. (Of course, Donald T***p w*n the Republican candidacy.)
It is therefore not at all surprising that many on Monday night chose not to wait for the Senator's explanation before casting him as a hypocrite worthy of derision:
This is the night that Ted Cruz became president.

Those enjoying the schadenfreude-laden moment included his one-time Princeton roomate, who was a vociferous Cruz critic during the Republican primary:
Now imagine Ted Cruz is doing this four feet below you in the bottom bunk bed.
Yes, my misery very much appreciates your company.

Many also took the opportunity to reprise the beloved—if utterly untrue—notion that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac K**ler, a Northern California psychopath responsible for a number of murders starting in 1968 who was never caught.
Can't spell "porn hub" without "zodiac k**ler"

Ted Cruz has remarkably normal taste in pornography for someone who is the Zodiac K**ler.

Cruz was profiled by Politico in 2012 for "mastering social media." The publication branded the then-rising conservative as "Exhibit A of how to effectively use social media to grow a movement." And only days ago, the famously disliked Senator was the subject of a warm New York Times profile that suggested a friendlier, more conciliatory "Ted Cruz 2.0" was in the works. Maybe so, but glitches remain.

They act like real Christians can't make mistakes. Besides, Ted Cruz 'Liked' the video to show people that while it is ok for a wife to watch in private while her husband c***ts on her and pleasure herself in the process, joining in is definitely a sin. Only someone with 'New York Values' would have done something like that. That wife showed remarkable self control! What a great example of Christian values!
Look at this article deriding Cruz for supposedly ... (

No facts as per usual for you left wing nuts. All hear say by the lame stream media. You dam people will believe anything that's fed you except the t***h. It turns out that it was one of his staff that was on a sight on Cruz's accounts. And its not even considered a porn sight.
Just more s**t put out to smear anyone on the right.
But you all go right ahead, keep it up. We need a good laugh. Ha Ha HA HA Ha HA Ha HA Ha.
