Late on Monday night, folks on Twitter noticed that Ted Cruz “liked” a tweet — from the account “Sexuall Posts”– featuring a two-minute pornographic video.
We don’t know if the NSFW tweet was actually liked by the Texas senator and former presidential hopeful himself, or if it was someone else that has access to his account. But we’re obviously going to assume it was him because it’s funnier that way.
The tweet was only shown on Cruz’s “likes” briefly, but given that he has three million followers, there wasn’t much time needed for Twitter users to take notice and react (in hilarious fashion):

The most surprising thing about the porn video Ted Cruz liked is that the people in it were alive

I'll pay $10 to any reporter that asks Ted Cruz if he's seen any good movies lately. #TedCruz
