In case you just finally dragged yourself out of bed, one of the big stories today on the Internet is the fact that former presidential candidate Ted Cruz appeared to have liked a very NSFW tweet overnight.
Yes, this IS why the Internet was invented.
Somewhat surprisingly it took the Texas senator longer than one would have expected to reply to this interesting turn of events.
His senior communications advisor, Catherine Frazier tweeted in the middle of the night that the “offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter,” but who the hell follows her? We wanted to hear from the man himself. Was he really enjoying a little spank time and just got busted or no?
Turns out, at least according to him, it was a “staffing issue.” Seriously.

If no one gets publicly punished then it was totally Cruz, right?

Wouldn’t have been any worse than some of the things the current President did.
