After Ted Cruz was done telling his followers Monday to #NeverForget 9/11 on the 16th anniversary of the terror attack, he apparently forgot that anybody on Twitter can see what he "likes," and he liked porn.
The Texas senator was among more than 400 Twitter users who "liked" a two-minute porn clip from an account called @SexuallPosts, and one journalist noticed, prompting the rest of Twitter to notice, too.

'Ted Cruz jerks off to incest porn on 9/11' is the most American headline you could imagine. Americans should have to salute to it.

One media outlet actually reported Ted Cruz's "like" of a porn site was "quickly yanked off." Tea Pain can't unread that.

So Ted Cruz likes porn, is a serial killer and his Dad killed Kennedy. I don't understand how he lost the Republican nomination.

Honestly the only thing that could've made the Ted Cruz thing funnier is if it were Mike Pence liking gay porn.

It was only a matter of time before Ted Cruz slipped up and did something that normals do. His fellow lizard overlords will not be pleased.

Ted Cruz believes marriage is a sacred bond between one man, one woman, and another woman who gets off watching said man and other woman.

Idk why, but Ted Cruz looking for porn on Twitter instead of an actual porn site is the most Ted Cruz thing I've ever heard.
