A spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Cruz announced early Tuesday morning that a “like” on a pornographic post on the Texas lawmaker's Twitter account has been undone and reported to the social media site.

“The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter,” Catherine Frazier, Cruz’s senior communications adviser, wrote on her own Twitter account at 2:16 a.m. Tuesday morning.

She did not offer an explanation for how or why Cruz’s account had “liked” the brief pornographic video, which was initially shared by an account using the handle @SexuallPosts. A spokesman for Cruz did not immediately return a request for comment.

Liking the post causes it appear in the "likes" section of one's Twitter feed, and screen shots of the now-deleted post shows a graphic sexual video.

Although the “like” has since been undone, screenshots of the post have circulated widely online and @SexuallPosts updated its bio to urge users to “follow the same porn @TedCruz watches.”

1. I'll bet he blames the "like" on leaving his phone out where someone else could have messed with it.

Or that someone hacked his account just to "like" that one video.

However, I really wouldn't be surprised if he had more than one twitter account and forgot which account he was on when he posted a "like".
