Ted Cruz was caught watching porn on Twitter and the internet can't keep calm!

On the sombre day of 9/11, as Hurricane Irma raged in the US, Conservative Republican Senator Ted Cruz was ‘caught’ watching porn on Twitter'. 

The Texas senator's Twitter handle liked a post from the account @SexuallPosts which contained a two-minute porn film. Although the Senator unliked the tweet, Twitter had caught  on and even the porn handle bragged: “Follow for the Same Porn @TedCruz Watches."

They also thanked Ted Cruz ‘for watching’. Ironically, the former presidential candidate is known to support ‘traditional family values’ and has taken an anti-porn stance. In fact, last year he joined Republicans stating ‘porn is a public health crisis that is the destroying the lives of millions’, and in 2007 failed to maintain a ban of sex toys in Texas in 2007. His communications director tweeted that the post has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter. 

Also for the uninitiated, during the 2016 campaign, there was a new genre of literature called Ted Cruz erotica but let's not get into that right now. Check out the tweets below:

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

Sadly, the fact that Ted Cruz jacks off to mediocre porn spam is the most human thing we can say about him. This is actually his high point.

Liking a porn tweet is by far the least offensive, most normal thing Ted Cruz has ever done.

Ted Cruz is gonna blame a large adult intern for this when it's obvious he watches porn on Twitter since his wife checks his browser history

This juxtaposition between Ted Cruz's now-deleted porn "like" and his pinned tweet is pretty glorious. pic.twitter.com/Q8HwExpFsn
