Sen. Ted Cruz likes porn video on Twitter

Sen. Ted Cruz has been busy on Twitter.

The Texas lawmaker was one of more than 400 accounts that liked a two-minute-long porno from @SexuallPosts on the social media site.

Lewd footage of the actors — two women and a man — appeared on Cruz’s feed of liked tweets for no particular reason early Tuesday.

It’s unclear when the married father of two personally liked the tweet or if a staffer using his account did the deed.

Although Twitter prohibits pornography from its platform, that did not stop the failed presidential candidate’s personal account from liking the video.

A spokesperson for Cruz did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If he would live and let live. But he and his cohorts want to govern the bedrooms (or whichever room you prefer) of America.

They want to stop the ones who want a rock to wind a string around.

But everybody wants a rock to wind a piece of string around.

Just to state the obvious, the problem here isn’t that Cruz (or whoever was on his account) watches these videos. It’s that it’s complete hypocrisy coming from a guy who promotes abstinence-only sex education and votes for legislation controlling everyone else’s sex life.

This is the new normal for "the family values crew" and "fake evangelicals".
