The Texas senator -- who argued for a sex toy ban in Texas -- "liked" a two-minute porn video. He's now blaming a staffer for the mishap.
The Twitter account of antigay U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz "liked" a pornographic video late Monday night. The film was posted by "Sexuall Posts" and watermarked by Reality Kinds, a hardcore porn production company. The tweet was unliked within a few hours.
Tuesday morning, Catherine Frazier, Cruz's senior communication adviser, commented on the "like."
The senator also commented on the matter, telling reporters, "There are a number of people on the team that have access to the account and it appears that someone inadvertently hit the like button," according to Politico. "It was a staffing issue. And it was inadvertent, it was a mistake. It was not a deliberate act. We're dealing with it internally, but it was a mistake. It was not malicious."
The mistake has not gone overlooked. As of now, the Twitter page @SexuallPosts has updated its bio to "follow the same porn @TedCruz watches." They also tweeted back at Cruz, who once defended a ban on dildos in the Lone Star State.
Also, many on the Twitterverse had some tweets of their own.
