Ted Cruz liked a very NSFW tweet and it’s gotten a huge reaction

Ted. Oh Teddy, Teddy, Ted.

We imagine there'll be talks of a hack or that new intern copping the blame for this. A NSFW video is receiving a lot of traction online and it's all because US Senator Ted Cruz. Yes, on Monday night, Cruz's Twitter account liked a graphic two minute long video on the social media site prompting said video to appear on many other people's timelines due to Twitter's timeline algorithm. Cruz has over three million followers on Twitter, so it's likely that his interaction with the video from @SexuallPosts pushed it onto thousands of peoples' timelines. It wasn’t immediately clear whether it was a hacker, Cruz himself or a staffer with access to the account who liked the tweet. Here is the video that Cruz's account liked (although we edited it slightly to make it safer for work).
